I was told that after Haikusei Basho, a sample of Buntaro's new sake had arrived, so I was allowed to drink it!
New brewery established in Shinsen-cho in 2019.
It looks like the Nagao Sake Brewery in Kyotango City was relocated and renamed. I wonder if it's related to the license?
At the beginning, there were two elderly toji's brewing the sake, but this was for technical guidance and now the president's son is the toji.
They are not a member of any brewing associations and rarely appear at events😅.
Amazake seems to be the main product, and local housewives visit the brewery with their own containers.
They are offering a service of amazake subs 😁.
The first bottle was Junmai Nama Sake.
It didn't have much sweetness, but I thought it tasted better than the junmai ginjo nama-zake I had last year. No label on the back, so specs are unknown.
The second bottle was Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake.
I've bought a Sandeshi with the same label in the past, but to be honest, it was a little too subtle...
This one was delicious, with some sake-like characteristics, but with a fruity ginjo aroma coming in later 😋.
It's definitely better than the ones I've had in the past, so I guess they're getting better every year.
Buntaro is another one to keep an eye on 🤔.
