The first Shiga Sake Festival in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, Japan (1940-1925)
Fujimoto Sake Brewery and Shinkai booth
The booth is a must-visit. The booth is a must-visit. I was reminded that the fireflies were lighting up at the end of the event...
There was another Shinkai Family visitor, a foreign man and a Japanese woman. The man was wearing the same color Kamikai T-shirt 🤣.
◉Jinkai Senshutai Umainjar Re-join 2019
This time a batshit delicious weirdo sake. 6 year old rejojoined brew, with a massive amino acid taste, caramel-like mellow round sweet umami without any astringent taste. It also has a little bit of mirin (sweet sake). It is somewhat similar to Tamagawa. Other Kamikai family members also praised it highly.
The next time they will use a proper label, so they will not use this label again.
They said that they have already sold out of one portion of the bottle, and that the quantity of the bottle sold out in an instant.
◉Jinbiraki Junmai Ginbuki Hiyoroshi
I don't remember it because of the strong impact of Umainjar.
Shinkai Junmai Retro Aka Yamahai
This one is a 10 year old sake, I think they said. It is rich and full-bodied, but has a slightly old sake feel to it and is best served warm.
I thought I was at the end, but I went to a nearby booth.
As the name "fully matured" suggests, this is a raw sake that has been aged for two years. Kamikai-san prefers the Uchinomimi Extra Series, but this one has a good unique flavor because it has been aged in its raw state!
I am a strong sake with a very dry taste and a high concentration of sake.
The label on the back of the bottle says, "I am a strong sake🍶.
It is exactly as it says, but I have a feeling that some circles will scold me for the sweetness of my perversity.
The saury was delicious. Past tense.
Two comments with different sensitivities! This is what a diverse society is all about!
I love Manachie's honest expression 😀 Go suck on your mama's tits!
T.KISO, you are indeed a man who understands wabi-sabi with an old man's touch 😃read some haiku!
Sorry to both of you 🙇.
This time it is Nabekanmuri Sanjo from Kamikai.
It is a sake from Koka City, Shiga Prefecture.
I think Aladdin-san was drinking
I think he was drinking the first daughter.
I went to Shiga at the end of summer vacation.
I got the third daughter.
Where is the second daughter that remains?
I drink it cold.
It is a dark light nigori.
From the large fizzy feeling to the creamy mouthfeel,
The unique aroma is like a cheese-like water yeast, and a dense grapefruit sweet and sourness penetrates through the apple honey-like sweetness. The aftertaste is clean and crisp with a sourness and bitterness.
If I were to use an analogy, it tastes like biting into the core of an apple. The reason why I think it is surprisingly cohesive is because of the 10% alcohol content.
The dry sweet and sour taste like a cider is addictive 🍎🫧.
re,
Sandesi goes by so fast 😱.
Good evening, Hirupeko 😃.
I'm the youngest. There's a certain youngest daughter." I'm sure you're right 🤩Thank you very much 😊.
I can't wait to see who will check in the second daughter when this happens 😁.
Hello, Aladdin. The first daughter is a tomboy and the third daughter is actually an adult. That makes me wonder about the second daughter's character 😆.
Hi Peco 🐦.
Kore is delicious 😻Me too, my third daughter, and Aladdin and maybe Nemuchi, my eldest daughter. I've never seen the second daughter! We all need to look for the second daughter 😆.
Good evening, Pon. The third girl was a delicious dish that ended up being crispy 😆 And I didn't realize there was such a high percentage of eldest girls in the Kansai branch 😳 I would love to meet the second girl!
Good morning, bouken 😃.
And thank you for the useful information 😳
You're the one who writes "bouken's liquor store wanderings" 😁.
But you have three sisters all together at this time of the year, you are a very well known liquor store ☺️
I was curious about the label because it was so oceanic, so I bought it!
I found out that the label was designed by Kyoto Women's University 🤔.
It is made with Association 77 yeast, which is a high malic acid producing yeast, and has a sweet aroma of apples and lychee-like flavor.
When you take a sip, the sweetness spreads in your mouth, not as much as the flavor, and then the sourness passes 😋.
It is truly "sweet and sour", but the freshness combined with the slight effervescence makes it a delicious sake that is not sake in the good sense of the word!
Even my wife, who is not a fan of sake, praised sake for the first time, saying "this is delicious" 🥳.
I would recommend this sake to those who are new to sake and to those who don't drink much.
Hi, Afio 😃.
This is so fancy that even we 🤣 who have a good eye for painting might pick it up 😁I'll be very happy if I win a taste for buying labels 🤗.

I was a little confused by the name of the yeast on the front and the label, but it was my first brand and not a low alcohol one, so I gave it a try.
(There are a lot of low-alcohol brands with a classical body these days.)
A little sweet, mild aroma, but lingering aftertaste.
But it is easy to drink.
After the second day, the sweetness gradually becomes less and less.
After tasting five or six kinds of sake at a sake exhibition, a staff member recommended "Shinkai SPARKLING Nabekanmuri" to me, saying that he would bring something interesting.
The label is cute in a pop style.
It was brewed with a yeast that produces a lot of malic acid and second fermentation in the bottle. Perfect for summer with its crisp acidity and low alcohol content (10%)!
[Eldest daughter]
The aroma of gorgeous fruit and acidity spread, and the taste was like a deep fruit wine, light and tangy.
[Second daughter]
More free-spirited than the eldest, like a lactobacillus drink, with a slightly stronger acidity and sweetness.
[Third daughter]
Less than her older sisters, it has a good balance of sourness and sweetness, and it's so tight that you might end up drinking it without realizing it.
