Takeuchi Sake Brewery / "TADAI" "KOU NO IZUMI" Shiga Prefecture

Tadai" is a brand launched for the national market.
Meizu" is a brand that is distributed to a very small number of local sake specialty stores.
Mr. Naoto Nakamura, the toji, trained for 6 years under Mr. Naohiko Noguchi, who is considered a legendary Noto toji. He always matures his hi-ire sake for at least one year.
Kami-Sen Kounosen O-Mon
A mildly sweet and tasty sake.
It has a mild sweetness and umami taste.
Not so impressive...
I liked the fact that this time it was "Kano-sen" instead of "Yui", but I don't remember it because it was the last one 💦 Come to think of it, Takeuchi Sake Brewery was the last one at the Japanese Sake Festival, and I don't remember much about it 😅.
That's the end of the Shiga Sake Festival 🙏.
But since it's Sake Day, we'll continue with the second half of the Sake Go Around Kyoto 🤣.
Nemuchi, thanks for posting the Shiga Local Sake Festival ✨.
You didn't bring any Yuzu 😳.
I wonder if the Kou no Izumi was better for out-of-prefecture people because it's rarer 🤔 You didn't drink the Suzu Masamune 😁.
You don't make sake? 😳I didn't know that because I've seen some very unique sake labels online 😅I thought your son had taken over the brewery and was doing a great job 💦.
This is my homework from a year ago 🍶.
Mr. H in Kumamoto pointed it out.
Spring Storehouse Tour: Four Storehouses, so change the name to Four Storehouses 🍶 We participated again this year 🍶 WITH Rafa!
The organizers of each brewery were putting their own spin on the event 🍶 The Koga Real Ninja Museum🥷 had tastings and direct sales from a total of nine breweries in Konan and Koga 🍶 So, we achieved nine breweries 🍶.
I took home a limited edition sake recommended by Rafa-san at Kou no Izumi 🍶 bottled straight from the tank 🍶 fresh, crisp, and delicious 🍶 Thank you Rafa-san for a fun time!

I had some preconceived notion that Yamahai was hard to drink, but I don't know unless you tell me. Even if you are told, you can't tell.
Well, you might notice it by the color.
It is smooth and smooth. It is gorgeous and sweet.
Recommended for beginners of Yamahai.
