Abeno Harukas Kintetsu Main Store Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO (2)
I have had Nikitatsu Daiginjo at Ogimachi Park before, so I was allowed to try the others.
Usuzumizakura by Fat Iyo.
The taste is quite clear and refreshing. Sake meter reading +3, a little spicy.
Nikitatsu Junmai Ginjo-shu Sakurahime yeast
It has sweetness and mellowness, but the aftertaste is clear. The four-pack bottle was already sold out.
◯NIKITATSU 2024 Junmai Daiginjo-shu
A refreshing and high-class sake.
They said they almost paid for the bottle.
I asked him if it was for overseas since the bottle looked expensive and the price was high. 7 or 9? I don't remember how many countries they export to, but they said they can't sell to China since the name was registered first.
I asked him if Ehime sake is often spicy, but he said it is not, and that it is mostly sweet.
I bought a packet! It's cute.
The aroma is refreshing and the taste is clean. The mouthfeel is smooth and you can feel the sweetness of the rice, but afterwards you can taste the dryness? Sourness? It's not that strong. Not so strong.
