Drinking Gifu's Local Sake 2024 in Osaka①.
Before I post the Gifu sake I bought on a family vacation, here's a post from a previous event.
As usual, bouken and I attended the "Get Drunk on Gifu's Local Sake 2024" at Mydome Osaka, hosted by Ai LOVE Sake.
The meeting place at the station was complicated and we were going to be late, so we decided to head there directly.
When I arrived, bouken-san was talking with his favorite sake shop.
The first stop was the "Ichidotsusenzan" booth.
They brought all kinds of sake that they did not bring at the Japanese Sake Festival.
ICHIDUSHIKU SENZAN Comet Arahashiri Namazake.
It was like a red comet from the bottle.

I think it was a little bit lukewarm. It has a bit of bitterness from the umami,
Ichijiru Senzan Hachigannishiki Nama-nara Sake
Sharp and less sweet impression. It was clear and a little spicy.

I don't remember much about it because it was the second time I visited and drank it at the end of the day... I think it was refreshing.
I heard that there is no sales channel in Kansai and no special distributor.
On the second day of the Bon vacation, my family went to the public swimming pool we visited last time☺️2This is the second time and my son is already showing signs of swimming. ‼️Well, he's growing up fast💦After playing for about two hours, we stopped at a liquor store on the way home and I told my wife I wanted to buy one bottle of sake, but she said she was going too.
I was looking at the bottle of sake and my wife told me to choose this one 😮💨 I like the look of it, but let me decide 💦 Well, if she buys it for me, I can't complain, so I gave up and bought it 🤦.
Speaking of which, my son is getting better at making excuses lately.
He says he doesn't want to clean up because his back hurts or he's busy playing with something else! I'll help you later 😅www is he really 3 years old❓When he saw the sweets he finished eating, he dreamt 🤔? Did I eat it? Then my son says let's try it again🤣 funny but I'm worried about his future.
Then open the bottle: ‼️
The aroma is lactic acidic and the taste is also lactic acidic but it is highly carbonated, refreshing, dry and good for the season🙆🙆.
It's good for the time of the year 🙆
Good evening, Mr. Masashi.
I drank some of your sake at an event here and it was absolutely delicious 😋.
I'm very sorry to hear that there are no distributors in Kansai 😭.
Good evening, bouken!
I found myself emptying the bottle before I knew it 💦I realized that my wife's choice is not so stupid 🤣w I didn't know there was no special distributor in the Kansai area! (I'd like to drink a variety of them if I hear they're all delicious 😆.
Good morning, Masa 🐥.
Isn't your wife actually great! Let's keep it up and have her buy more 🤣.
My back hurts 🤣🤣I wonder where I can learn to do that 😆.
Hi Pon😄
I feel like I was overwhelmed by my wife's pressure 😰💦The result was delicious, but wow, we rarely say that, but we never let our son hear it, so friends at daycare? It made me think a lot 🤣.

The aluminum cap, which had been peeled off while holding it down with a finger, popped off and the lid flew up to the ceiling.
The lees soared up from the bottom and gave off a pleasant fizzy sensation.
It has a soft and sweet taste on the palate, but overall it is a sparkling sake with a clean and refreshing taste.

Yes, I'm here. As usual, Nemuchi and I participated in the event.
The venue was far from the station, so we arrived just in time💦.

This was brought to the Japanese Sake Festival but not drunk. I drank this one towards the end of the festival, so it didn't leave much of an impression...
We brought different sakes from the Japanese Sake Festival, and they were all delicious.
I heard from Mr. Matsuchiyo that the toji used to work at Narumi, so I was going to check him out, but I forgot💦.
There are no exclusive distributors in Kansai and they only come to Nishinomiya Hankyu and Takarazuka Hankyu once a year. I saw it at Omato-San in Arashiyama, but I wonder if it was a spot shipment.
Nishinomiya Hankyu also carries Tenryo and I wonder if they are strong in Gifu sake 🤔.
This is the first time I've ever had a drop of Senzan 🍶.
I heard that the toji who used to work at Higashinada Brewery in Narumi is here now.
The first aroma is of koji and a hint of sweet rice.
In the mouth, there is a slight acidity and a refreshing sweetness.
The dryness of the light bitterness gives it a sharp finish.
It was delicious 🍶✨.
Good morning, Matsuchiyo-san ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I had a taste of Ippodo Senzan at a Japanese sake festival and liked it a lot 😋I see you were in Narumi 😳Thank you for the valuable information 😆.
Good evening bouken-san and Nemuchi-san 🍶.
Are you two going to the sake event in Gifu?
If it's in your neighborhood, I'd like to join you too 😊.
By the way, was the information correct? I'm sure you're right 😆.
The 8th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower ①.
This time, I joined the Japanese Sake Festival with bouken again.
We met up with Mr. Yasube, Ms. Kaolin, and Mr. Usagi Goten at the venue.
We paired up with bouken-san, and the rest of us walked around tasting the sake we were after separately...🤣
First of all, we went to the booth of "ICHIJIRUSENZAN" and "MINO BENI UME" in Gifu prefecture.
Ichijiru Senzan Miyamanishiki Nama Sake.
The bottle had just been opened and was making a nice popping sound.
It was fresh, milky, slightly sweet, and refreshing at the end.
Ichijirushitusenbori Yumachi Nama Sake
It has a strong umami and just a hint of sweetness, not quite the wild omachi flavor I imagined, but delicious.
Minohongai Junmai Ginjo Hidahomare Unfiltered Nama Sake
A little bitter, but not spicy, with a clean aftertaste.
I will remember this one.
The 8th Japanese Sake Festival at Osaka Bay Tower ①
The first part of Saturday. Again, I joined the event with Muchi.
We also met Yasube & Kaorin and Usagi at the venue.
First, Takeuchi Sake Brewery!
I've had a bottle of Ichijiru Senzan with the back label in the past, but it was a long time ago, so it didn't make an impression on me...
We drank
Junmai Ginjo Miyamanishiki Unfiltered Nama-shu
Polishing ratio 60
It had a nice sound when I opened it 😁.
It was sweet, bitter, orikara and delicious 😋.
Junmai Daiginjo Omachi Unfiltered Nama Sake
Polishing ratio 50%.
Sweet and tasty 😋Omachi is good!
Junmai Ginjo Hidahomare Unfiltered Nama-shu
Polishing ratio 60
Fresh and muscat-like. Slightly refreshing.
There was no indication of "unfiltered" or "raw" sake at the event, but according to information on the Internet, that seems to be the case.
I've only seen it at the liquor store in Arashiyama, so I should have asked for the information of the distributor😅.
