The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower ⑤.
Takebayashi made a good impression at the Takashimaya Sake Festival.
The same staff was there.
We drank the following
Takebayashi Karoyaka Oshatoro Junmai Ginjo
It is fire-aged but has a gaseous taste and is very sweet and tasty.
I think everyone likes it.
Takebayashi catharsis Junmai Daiginjo (not pictured)
I regretted not buying it after drinking it at the Takashimaya Sake Festival. It was just as good this time, but I personally prefer the Daishatoro by a narrow margin.
Awasake Sake Stripe
I've seen this before at Aeon, but this is the first time I've had it.
It is a low-alcohol sparkling sake that is easy to drink.
I didn't buy Takebayashi this time either 😭
I'll have to buy it next time I see it 💦.
While retaining a classic taste, it also has a sweet and fruity flavor.
while retaining a classic taste and a sweet, fruity sensation.
It was a strange sensation.
Delicious!
Sweet. Ripe apple-like sourness.
After that, a mellow umami flavor flows,
Then, the fragrance that is typical of bamboo groves spreads.
When swallowed, the alcohol is surprisingly hot.
It is neither too much nor too little.
The 10th brewery at the 6th Takashimaya Sake Festival
Marumoto Sake Brewery [Takebayashi] Okayama Prefecture/Asakuchi City
This brewery grows its own rice using the "San'ou" rice cultivation method, in which the rice is starved three times, and is also committed to organic production.
Takebayashi]💘, which previously shot my heart out at a Japanese sake festival.
When I told the brewery staff that everything was delicious, they let me try their newest creation, and my heart was shot out again💘💘💘
Takebayashi Junmai Daiginjo catharsis
It's a new release from this season. It has a thick, sweet and delicious volume at the finish. The umami is firm, so it is not sweet but full-bodied. It has a sweet and sour finish with a hint of acidity.
Takebayashi Fukamari Shatoro
It has a deep, rich, mellow and delicious flavor.
I was allowed to drink all of them, but forgot to take pictures... but they were all delicious.
It was so good that I wanted bouken to drink it too, so I took him right after we joined 😁.
It seems that not many people know that there are many sake breweries in Okayama Prefecture, so I told him that I had been to Okayama for the Bon Festival and there are many sake breweries there, and he said that some of the breweries were coming to the next Japanese Sake Festival, so I said hello and said I would see him again, and we moved on.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛Okayama has a wide variety of delicious sake 😋There are also many sweet and tasty sake, especially Takebayashi, which I recommend because I like a mix of dark and sweet tastes👍.
Takashimaya Sake Festival (4)
Marumoto Sake Brewery in Okayama.
This brewery is also recommended by Muchi-san.
The sake we tasted was
catharsis Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu
Fukamari Shatoro Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu
Junmai Daiginjo Karoyaka
2 kinds of amazake (not pictured)
The catharsis is so fresh that it is hard to believe it is fire-aged.
It is sweet and juicy, like a raw sake. I regret not buying it 😭.
Takebayashi Fukamari Shatoro tastes like it hasn't been aged for more than a year. It is supposed to be dry, but it doesn't seem that dry.
Karoyaka also tasted gorgeous.
The dry sake was also generally fruity.
Both types of amazake were also delicious.
Tasted like Pocari Sweat.
Pon-chan, good evening 🌃
Okayama may have a lot of hidden good sake 😃.
Amazake is so called "drinking IV", so is there something similar to spodum type of sake? 🤔
Kaoru-shu. The mild sweet aroma is soft and gentle and easy to drink! It is well balanced and seems to be easy to match with a variety of meals. It was served with horse mackerel namenuri!
We had a mouthful. The initial mouthfeel is super fresh. It also has a fizzy feeling. After that, there is the firm taste of Yamadanishiki and a mildly sweet aftertaste. The aroma on the nose is also nice.
Souvenirs taken to Nagano.
Summer sake.
I chose this one for my father, who has always liked dry sake (although he also enjoys sweet sake these days).
It has a slight green apple taste.
Dry dry ‼️
If you drink it with a meal, you can drink it just as easily as water 😊.
If you drink it alternately with Asamatake which was opened yesterday after a meal, it's endless sweet and spicy 😱.
