The 8th Osaka Takashimaya Sake Festival ⑫
Nemuchi-san and Toji-san, who had visited the previous day, recommended Kame-no-o Kijo-zake, so we went to the Tenmei booth!
What did they drink?
Tenmei Kame-no-o 65 Hon-nama
It's a kijoshu, though it's not written on the bottle. It was the first time for me to try it, but it seems to be a product that has been around for a long time. It seems that they don't release it every year because it can't be made unless the base sake is prepared.
As Eiji-san said, it is melon-like sweet and tasty.
Akigari Nama Jungin beautiful autumn Otsukimi
I tasted it because I thought it was rare to have a raw sake made in autumn.
I think it was because I drank Kame-no-o first, but the taste didn't leave any impression.... I definitely should have had this one first💦.
I was pushing my cart through the venue and was embarrassed to be told by strangers that I was buying a lot of sake 😅! It was so embarrassing😅.
This is for two people 🙄.
after the autumn harvest
Refreshingly sweet like ramune
Accompaniments
chicken ham, fried salted vegetables, cheese (smoked)
salmon and tofu
It is good with the oily part of stir-fried vegetables.
Good with a little bit of raw fishiness of salmon and barbeque
Thank you very much.
I bought this sake in Fukushima,
Purchased at Yamada-san, a sake shop in Hiroshima City
Around 2,000 yen

The full spec of sweetness and deliciousness of orikara and a hint of bitterness at the end ✨.
Although there are no rice grains🌾, the softness on the palate is the happiest of all: ☺️
The image of Tenmei-like has also piqued my interest.
Here is what seems to be the story I found when I searched 📝📝.
---.
100 roses blooming on the grounds of Akebono Brewery.
These "warehouse roses" were first planted by Akemi Suzuki, the former toji (chief brewer) and mother of Akebono Shuzo, after her own illness.
Over the years, the number of roses has continued to grow, and now 100 roses adorn the brewery.
The image of the rose is inspired by the language of flowers: whimsical beauty, innocence, and passion.
Yume-no-Ko" is brewed with 50% polished "Yume-no-Ko" rice produced in Aizu Sakashita and brewed with Fukushima yeast.

Get away from the heat by yourself at Yamabuki!
Quench your thirst with a beer and a cup of Chirancha high tea.
Now, sake!
Summer menyu is increasing: ❗️
And I ask for Tenmei!
The aroma doesn't stand up.
The mouthfeel is soft and mildly sweet, very easy to drink
The alcohol content is 11.5
but it is balanced and delicious!
Yamabuki is adding more and more cups of sake and I'm looking forward to the next one 😁.
Tenmei era (1781.4.2-1789.1.25)
Akebono (lake monster said to be one of the most wicked and powerful fish in Japan)
It's a draft sake, but fall-aged? I thought so.
I think it's the first time. Low temperature aging.
The label is nice and autumnal.
It has a long sour aftertaste, but it has a bit of a peculiarity due to the aging process, and the sourness is rounded out, giving it a dried fruit feeling.
The brewery name "Akebono" is derived from a passage in "The Pillow Book", "Haru wa Akebono", and "Tenmei" was chosen as a synonym for the brand name.
Akebono has a history of three generations of female brewers, which is rare for a sake brewery.
Since 2011, the sixth generation, Koichi Suzuki (male brewer) has led the brewery, which includes many female staff members, to create a vibrant brewery.
There were two things in the all-you-can-drink menu that caught my attention.
I asked the young waitress which one she would recommend, and she said, "This one for sure!
Tenmei aged for one year!
Dark!
But delicious 😋.
Master and I drink together at a good pace.
Drinking alone is fine, but sometimes it's nice to have a drink while chatting!
My daughter-in-law is going to play golf early tomorrow morning ⛳️
It's a little cooler now, so good luck!

Sake degree: +1
Acidity: 1.4
Rice used: Yamadanishiki
Rice polishing ratio: 50
Alcohol content: 16
Delicious. It is too easy to drink. Mellow and tasty from the moment you put it in your mouth. There is no sense of alcohol after drinking. If this is an 80% polished rice, it is hard to understand the term "polished rice ratio".
