Event.
Sake Fair 2024.
Each prefecture has its own unique booth 😄.
Kagawa prefecture had a selection of "Sanuki Olive Yeast" sake 😳.
The booth staff explained to me emphatically that "Kagawa is not only about Udon noodles ❗️" 😆.
Here is the sake.
Color is slightly yellow🟡.
Taste is sweet and sour.
There is also a sweet aroma wafting through the air.
The throat is mild.
The sourness remains and the aftertaste is clean & refreshing.
The finish is a lingering sourness.
A sweet and sour sake with a cohesive and refreshing taste.
I'd like to drink more olive yeast with a variety of sakes to gain more experience 💪.
Good morning, Hiro😄.
I had my first taste of olive yeast sake here last year and it was so good that my son bought it immediately 😉.
I've only had this one so far, I'd like to try some more 😊.
Hi, Tsubu, ☀️
Olive yeast is interesting 😄.
Your son bought it right away, he is very discerning: ❗️
Kagawa Prefecture is a big proponent of olive yeast, so other breweries should be on your radar too 😆.
The aroma is subtly sweet. The pleasant sweetness on the palate is typical of ginjo-shu, making it easy to drink, but the robust flavor will keep you drinking it for a long time.

Ayagiku Junmai Ginjo Namaishu
This is one of the few "Ayagiku" series that is a pure sake type!
There are quite a few unpasteurized sake types, but there are not many unpasteurized sake types.
This junmai ginjo sake is made from 100% Kagawa sake rice "Oceto"!
Junmai Ginjo-shu is made in early spring and bottled as is.
The aroma on the nose is pleasant and refreshing, reminiscent of a fresh sake, and in the mouth it has a juicy fruity aroma reminiscent of melon, and the flavor of rice with just the right amount of flavor spreads out, with a core acidity typical of Ayagiku, a pleasant bitterness, and a good finish due to the slight sense of gas that still remains ♫
It has a good drinking experience, but it feels lighter than the alcohol content (17%), and is perfect for the coming season when well chilled.
It can be served with a wide range of meals, from light dishes such as sashimi and carpaccio, to dishes with a slightly stronger flavor such as meuniere and grilled chicken (salted).

Ayagiku Ginjo-Genjo-Harazake
This ginjo-genshu is brewed with 100% Kagawa sake rice "Oceto", and has a cool summery appearance!
It has an elegant and gorgeous ginjo aroma and a smooth, dry mouthfeel!
The full-bodied rice flavor that can only be found in sake in its purest form.
The fruity sweetness is followed by a firm acidity that is typical of #Ayagiku and gives it a nice crisp finish.
It is recommended to drink it well chilled or on the rocks to enjoy the changes in flavor as the ice melts!
It goes well with dishes that make the most of the ingredients, such as shrimp, scallops, and other seafood sashimi with a strong sweetness and flavor, carpaccio, grilled fish, etc. (o^^o) ♪
It is also good with meat dishes due to the strength and sharpness of the original sake.
Ingredient rice: ・・・・・ 100% Ooseto from Kagawa Prefecture
Polishing ratio・・・・55
Sake degree・・・・+4.0 (dry)
Acidity・・・・・・1.4

It is quite dry, but the mouthfeel itself is not that strong, making it overwhelmingly easy to drink.
The same size of flavor remains in the mouth, making it very easy to drink!
Flavors of vanilla essence and butterbur.
Fresh and clean rice flavor with a firm dry taste.
A little chemical alcohol, muscat-like.
It has a crisp and sharp taste.
Legitimate umami spiciness. Good. I like it.
Good collaboration with the entrée. Especially the tuna mini pizzas.
