The 3rd Bishu Competition 2025 Kansai (2)
Even during the award ceremony, the staff was present at the booths, so I tried Manzairaku's award-winning sake, which had just returned from the brewery, since it was set up with one ticket.
I was surprised at the fruity and beautiful taste that I couldn't believe it was made with 70% polished rice!
They were handing out flyers about the new label and product name.
The price is about 1600 yen including tax, which is a nice cosmetic price!
Mr. Rui Matsukawa and Ms. Seiko Noda were the presenters.
I thought Ms. Noda liked sake and had a deep knowledge of sake, but Mr. Matsukawa talked a lot about politics💦.
I got this bottle after tasting it during a visit to Kobori Sake Brewery at the end of August.
On the first day, the elegant aroma gave way to melon sweetness, and finally, a week later, the elegant aroma remained the same, but the sweetness settled down and I was very happy with this bottle 😊.

Dinner at Kaga restaurant.
We had "Manzairaku" daiginjo old sake 😳.
It was my first time to try this brand 🤤.
Sake with a slightly higher alcohol content, fragrant and full-bodied.
It also has a spiciness that gives it a strong and robust feeling.
The aroma of lactic acidity and rice flavor, typical of Yamahai, rises to the surface. It also has a freshness of the raw sake, which spreads in the mouth with a thump.
Refreshing and summery sake♪
Hyakumangoku No Shiro 100% (Ishikawa's preferred rice for sake brewing)
Polishing ratio: 60%.
Fresh and fruity, with a slightly floral ginjo aroma, a distinct freshness and lightness typical of nama-shu, and a juicy sensation that spreads across the tongue.
It is said that the freshly squeezed sake is frozen and stored at minus 20 degrees Celsius with all its fresh flavors, in reference to the ice in the Hakusan Ice House, which was presented to the Tokugawa Shogun in the old days.
I had it on the train on my way back to Tokyo.
It was a relief from the intense heat.
The second bottle of the day, following the previous one, was Yamahai. I tasted and purchased this bottle as well.
The aroma was definitely Yamahai, but the taste was sour with a hint of acidity. The taste is sour with a hint of acidity.
I'm going to Kushiro and Kitami in Hokkaido on a business trip tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to meeting people there 😊.
Rice: -1.5%, Polishing ratio: 68%.

Good evening, Mr. Mats!
I thought the third picture had a nice atmosphere, but then I saw the fourth picture and it's a warehouse facing a solidly large road 😲.
It's fun to visit a brewery, isn't it 🎵.
I look forward to your posts about your encounters in Hokkaido 🤗.
Good evening, ma-ki-san. I am very excited to visit sake breweries! There are many old houses, so I like to feel the history and see old tools.
I am enjoying Hokkaido to the fullest 🤭.
This is a summer sake I tasted at Kobori Sake Brewery during my trip to Kanazawa.
It is a light, clean, crisp, refreshing and clear sake with a gentle sweetness like muscat 😋.
It's already autumn, but it's still hot like the height of summer 🫠 fall quickly 🍂.
