Honey-like aroma with caramel flavor with a little bit of maturity.
Milky sweetness and volatile alcohol in the second half.
Sweet potato-like aftertaste at the end of drinking.
Drinking comparison. The order of drinking (1).
I think it was probably right to start with KID. The fruity taste like an aperitif is not as good as Kid, but it is good as an in-between-dinner drink.
Tasting at the Nakano BC brewery.
We were given a tour of the brewery.
The staff guided us around the brewery so that we could see the process of pickling plums at the brewery.
It was informative to see how the plums are pickled at the brewery.
At the end of the tour, we had a free tasting including plum wine and a paid tasting of Kinokuniya Bunzaemon.
The aroma is a modest ginjo aroma.
The lingering taste was pleasant, elegantly put together with a soft sweetness.
Good evening, Lutemi 🦉.
It's rare to see pickled plum wine 😳I'd love to see the scale of the brewery, unlike at home 😆 I'm curious about this sake too, based on the name 😊.
Good evening, Ponchan😄.
It was interesting to see the plum wine being matured and to experience the -5°C in the ice cellar. The tasting was charged, but I'm glad I could drink it because I wouldn't buy it myself: ☺️
The 7th Sake Tasting Report (7) (Last)
Finally, the last report!
The last brewery (⑦) is Nakano BC (Wakayama Prefecture).
Mr. Furukawa, the only veteran at this event, came from Nakano BC, which brews Chokyu.
Unfortunately, only one sake was available.
It was Kinokuniya Bunzaemon Daiginjo for the sake competition.
The note said, "It has a nice fruity aroma of red apples. It has a mellow mouthfeel with a clean watery texture. It has an honest sweetness, pleasant acidity, and fruity hints. It has a beautiful rice flavor and a pleasant, tangy stimulation".
This is a pattern that I had quite early in the bottle and did not have time to come back.
It was an elegant and beautiful sake with a fruity flavor, just like the sake on display.
We also tasted a sake from the Takagi Sake Brewery (from Kochi Prefecture), which brews Toyonoume, but since I don't have any photos of it, I have to give up reporting on it.
Toyonoubai Junmai Ginjyo Nama Shuzake Itoakashi, made with CEL24, was light and gorgeous, with a fruity sweet flavor and acidity, with a bitter dryness that I quite liked.
It was a very fulfilling and enjoyable event!
Looking forward to next year😊.
And after reporting it myself, I realized once again how great bouken and Nemuchi are 🫠.
Good evening, Aladdin 😃.
Thanks for the report 🙇.
I sometimes get drunk and my impressions of various drinks are mixed up 😅.
My question is, how much was one glass of sake tasting?
Good evening, bouken😄.
Thank you 😊
In small plastic cups, every brewery pours a generous amount if you don't say anything, so I think it's usually about 30 ml per cup.
I used the dispensers I tested this time, as appropriate.
Hi Aladdin 😀
Thanks for your report 🙏.
Actually, I wanted to stop by Nakano BC in Kainan City on this Wakayama brewery tour, but the brewery was closed on Monday, so I had to give up 🤣.
It's a pity 😅 because I had the impression that it was quite delicious.
Thanks for the report, Aladdin 😊.
It was very informative as many of the breweries I had not tasted before 🙏 It was a sake tasting event and the amount of sake poured was generous 😳 You did a great job of bringing the dispensers👍.
Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
I hope I have met your expectations 🥹I found a lot of things to review so that I can report a little smarter 😄.
Is Nakano BC fun when you harvest rice again ☺️
Good evening, Pon-chan 😃.
I heard that the organizer buys all the alcohol at this party, and maybe that's why they pour so much into the cups 😊.
I used a Starbucks tumbler as a dispensing vessel and I think it worked well because it was less noticeable: ☺️
