Purchased at the brewery's store. It has an elegant sweetness with a smooth aftertaste. The umami is unique and hard to describe. My wife and daughter loved it. I was a little surprised that there was a second cup, which I usually don't have.
Moriguchi Keihan Department Store Sake Festival ⑫
Tochigi Ai 💕 also in Tochigi Prefecture from Kochi Prefecture
The Sawa Hime booth was manned by the same brewer who was at the Sake Brewer's Festival, and later, Mr. Bouken told me that he was the Touji (master brewer) of the brewery.
This time, the lineup was mainly regular.
Sawa Hime Special Junmai Gohyakumangoku
The most standard and basic sake.
It has a rice flavor, a well-balanced acidity, and a refreshing aftertaste. It is easy to pair with meals.
Sawahime Junmai Ginjo Hitogochi
A light and dry sake with a refreshing sweet and spicy taste. It is not tasteless, but has a gentle flavor. It is a perfect match for both Japanese and Western cuisine.
Sawa-hime Junmai
Mild sake made with Tochigi Sake 14.
It is a little spicy with a refreshing acidity, but it is a mild sake. It seems to be made with a sake degree of 0 to +1.
Sawahime Yamahai Junmai
A wild type of Yamahai using Hitogochi. The acidity is very strong, so it is said to be mischievous. It has a juicy flavor and a slight bitterness. It has a tangy and naughty taste.
Sawahime Junmai Gold
A little hard, matured and slightly burnt. It has a little bit of a richness to it. When I bought it at the brewer's festival, it was labeled 2019. It's more peculiar than weird.
Keihan Department Store Japanese Sake Festival ⑫
Tochigi Ai at the Tasting (2)
Sawa Hime was personally positioned as the main dish of this event.
Mr. Touji was there!
We drank
Special Junmai Gohyakumangoku
Strong umami and a little fruitiness
Junmai Ginjo Hitogokochi
Refreshing aroma and gentle sweetness. This is the most well-balanced.
Junmai Tochigi Sake 14
I have had a draft sake before, and the impression of a strong and sweet sake is almost the same.
Yamahai Junmai Hitogokochi
It says "wild," but I couldn't really tell.
I think it's wilder than nama-hashiwado.
Yamahai is juicy and bursting with flavor.
Junmai Gold
It's sweet but has a strong sense of maturity. It is like Shaoxing sake.
It seems to go well with Japanese sweets. It tastes like a typical matured sake, so the level of perversity is probably low.
When I told him how hard it was to open the nigori I drank at New Year's, he asked me if I bought it at Ikoma-san. I was asked if I bought it at Ikoma-san.
Maybe they don't wholesale to other liquor stores in Kansai?
Other liquor stores said they only get orders from time to time.
I am looking forward to the new shipment of the Jun, Jungin, and Yamahai versions of Nama-Harakai sake from Icoma.
Nanoha and I enjoyed two days at the Tochigi Sake Toast Festa. I don't remember how many kinds of sake we drank, but I would like to say as many as I can remember.
Sake and Sake vol.3 ②
We joined Higu and Nanoha and had a great time 😚.
It's like a lactobacillus drink with strawberries and cherries.
After the sizzle goes away, the flavor remains....
Hi, Tsubu-chan 🐥.
This is the one Tsubu-chan was drinking before 🍒🍓🍓 she said it was cute and tasty 🍒🍓 and it sold well 😊 Nanoha-san was sorry she couldn't buy a bottle and had to have another one 😋.
Good morning, Nanoha-san 🐥.
The grand staircase had a nice atmosphere, though. It was hard for indoor people to see the light 🥵 here in peach color, it was gassy 🍒🍓 and tasty 😉.
