Ibi-gun, Gifu Prefecture, #Tokoro Shuzo's #Boshimaya Usagi Shin BLACK Unfiltered Nama-shu Ginbuki.
It has a unique mellowness and a crisp acidity. The combination of this and the gasiness makes it very tasty. The flavor of grapes with red skin has a sweetness that has been stripped away. It would go well with fatty sashimi and meat dishes 😊.

Boshimaya" booth.
Boushimaya is bringing a very expensive sake! Mr. Bouken spotted it and tasted it.
Boshimaya Rabbit Heart Gold.
The most expensive sake, priced at 4,400 yen. It has a nice aroma, sweetness and bitterness, and umami.
Boshimaya Rabbit Heart White
The same sourness and bitter bitterness as at the Japanese Sake Festival, but the impression is the same.
When I said to the brewery's toji, "You come to Osaka every week," he replied, "I come here every other week, and it's surprisingly close, so I can make a day trip.
Miss Yuri Minami of Miss SAKE Osaka poured the sake for me, saying, "Osaka people drink from the most expensive one."
I was scared to open the bottle because it had a warning on it, but I opened it without any problem.
The aroma was sour, alcoholic, and a little apple?
When I sipped it...well, it wasn't very shwashy, which was a letdown. Should I have drunk it a little earlier? There is a little bit of a squashy taste, a chilli taste from the apple-like acidity, a bitter taste, and grapes in the aftertaste. There is a slight umami.
When mixed, the sweetness of the grape seems to increase a little. The deep sweetness and umami are enveloped by a slight carbonation. The final taste is a refreshing "jyun", and the beer feels 17 degrees Celsius for a short while before disappearing.
As the day goes by, the taste becomes more balanced and refreshing. It has the umami of rice and a little more fruity sweetness than the Jyuseki we had the other day. Personally, I think it tastes like grapes.
However, it is not too sweet, so I was able to continue drinking it with snacks and enjoyed it.

The 8th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower (11)
The booth of [Fusashimaya] in Gifu Prefecture, which participated only on Saturday in a hurry.
It looks like he was invited by Okuhiroya, but Okuhiroya didn't show up🤣.
Mr. Bouken and the brewer talked about Icoma Sake Shop.
Fusashimaya Junmai Daiginjyo Nama-nara Sake.
It is freshly opened and has a gorgeous, sweet and savory taste. A little expensive.
Fusajimaya Junmai Unfiltered Nama-genshu Omachi
The flavor is full and robust, but the use of white malted rice for the malted rice gives it an acidic and refreshing aftertaste.
Usashimaya Usashin WHITE Unfiltered Nama Sake
Usagishin = Tokoro = Tokoro Shuzo, right?
It is lightly cloudy with a little bit of gas and a mild bitterness. It has a bit of gas and a bitter taste.
There is no black sake in summer, so it seems to be white.
Fusashimaya Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake Blue Bottle
The driest sake here. It has a dry aftertaste, but it's not that dry.
The production is said to be small, so I guess I'm lucky to have two distributors within my area of activity.

It seems to be a summer type sake. It is dry, but not too spicy and easy to drink.
I bought and drank most of them at Icoma except for the Blue Bottle. I thought it was consistently tasty even after drinking it again!
Mr. Bouken.
Good evening...
Boushimaya is a brand I've never seen or heard of...💦.
Reading your report, it seems that all of them have their own characteristics and it would be fun to compare them 🤩.
Hi Koizo!
I was wondering if there are special dealers all over the country because almost all of the Russian noodle wine kings drink it, but the brewer said that the production volume is low, so there are not many stores where you can buy it 🤔It's interesting that there is a wide range of flavor types 😋.

The bottle opens with a pop and a cheerful sound.
It has a refreshing flavor typical of nama-shu, and as it is super-harsh, the aftertaste is certainly clear and dry with a slight bitterness, but when the lees gets involved, the impression on the palate is soft and sweet, and this impression gradually increases as the day goes on.
The change in expression is quite enjoyable and above all, delicious.
