Origin of the name *From the label
The name "Two Hundred Eighty-eight Nights" comes from the fact that it took Mr. Takakura 288 days from rice growing to sake brewing in 1999, and Mr. Uno, who inherited his will, brewed it faithfully according to his teachings.
I didn't notice any particular aroma after opening the bottle, but it had a refreshing-like feeling.
The refreshing taste on the palate reminds me of a beautifully dressed young lady in summer clothes with a crisp and refreshing mouthfeel 😍.
It's dry, but you can also taste a hint of sweetness, which I think is what makes it so refreshing.
The spiciness may be due to the 16% alcohol content.
The spiciness comes in the second half when it goes down your throat 🤩.
Delicious!
On the 4th day of my trip to Osaka, I went to Osaka Expo Park (Tower of the Sun) 🤯 I got a taste of Taro Okamoto's world view 🤯.
By the way, last week's horses also maintained great form 💪.
I hope to win a lot of single bets on these less popular horses 🎯.
Hello, Koizo!
I'm not sure if this is the brand you bought in Nagoya! I don't know this brand 😅I like that it has a clear dry taste 🤗Tower of the Sun! I haven't seen it since I was a kid 🤔I only have a vague memory of it 🥲.
Good evening, kozo🦉.
I was wondering if the sake is rich and mellow, but it tastes fresh and clean 😳I have never heard of Tamakashi sake rice 😊I haven't been drinking much sake from Hiroshima, so I need to get my strength up 😁.

Good morning...sorry for the late reply 🙏 Yes! I bought this Gifu sake in Nagoya! It's moderately dry and delicious 🤤I also heard that he went to the Expo in a stroller 😅.

Good morning... Sorry for the late reply 🙏! It's not from Hiroshima but from Gifu 😱There is the same Tamakashiwa and I made a mistake in my selection 🙇The rice is Gohyakumangoku 🙇I also thought it was rich when I heard the name but it was light and dry.
Drinking Gifu's Local Sake 2024 in Osaka㉓
Gifu's local sake booth.
The brewery pursues "sake that goes well with food and that you never get tired of drinking.
It was almost the end of the event, and some of the sake had already been sold out, but a unique label caught my eye.
I had noticed it on Hirupeko's post and was wondering if it was sold at Haretoke, but I didn't realize I could drink it here...
Mukashi no Mamma Special Junmai.
The sourness and umami in the appleiness matched each other, and I was like, "Ummm.... Unlike the impression on the label, it is not so classical and easy to drink.
I would have liked to try other Tamakashiwas.
Good evening, Nemuchi-san. Mukashi no Mamma is easy to drink, unlike the powerful impression on the label😊I drank it a long time ago, right? I thought it was in March this year😅.
Hi Hirupeko, good evening 🌛I've always been curious about this sake because of your review and the impact of the label, and I quite liked the taste 😆Hirupeko, have you been drinking so much that it feels like a long time ago that you drank recently? 🤣
The flavor is also gooey and pulls away with bitterness.
When the temperature rises, the bitterness may be strong.
After the Sake-no-Wa Kansai New Year's party, bouken-san and I stopped by our usual liquor store, and before we knew it, we had a bottle of this 👍.
Tamakashiwa was a brand new to me and I didn't know it was Gifu sake💦.
It tasted better when served cold with a quick drink ✨.

As for the bottle, I will go back to buy a different brand lol.

Cool acidity stimulates the tongue.

The sweetness slowly fades away
A thin, trailing bitterness appears.
The lingering bitterness and alcohol lingers in the back of the throat.
And the umami of rice that can be felt on the exhale
A good balance.
You can drink it forever!
Delicious!
I got this sake from a friend.
It has a yellowish color and a strong rice flavor, similar to Tamagawa or Ishikawa sake 🤔.
It was a sake that goes well with sashimi 🍶.
Sake Event in Inuyama Castle Town🍶.
700 yen for 5 sake drinks is inexpensive!
Too delicious, the labels were too hard to read but it was fun to see the difference in color when 5 different kinds were lined up 😫💖.
I was so happy with the freshly fried croquettes,

Good morning ☀️
I didn't know there was such a thing.
It's cheap and the quantity is pretty good🤣.
But it must have been windy on the weekend 🌀
Thanks for your comment, Choroki! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🥺.
I'm always looking around for sake events lol.
It was windy and I was struggling not to get my paper cup blown away in the second half 😂😂.
