It has a light texture and goes in easily without much habit.
It is like water, and I think it is a little unsatisfying.
On my way back from a trip to Tanba in October, I stopped by the brewery in Sasayama.
I was able to buy a Junmai Daiginjo for a little less than ¥2,600 because they were offering a ¥-300 discount on all purchases at the kuramoto ✨.
The blue bottle with sparkling 🌙 on the label gives it a luxurious feel and makes you feel like you're drinking something expensive.
Personally, I prefer the Tokujun, which has a more robust rice flavor 💡.
720 mL ¥ 2,300
Good evening, Mr. Yoohee. Shugetsu, you are from Tanba Sasayama, aren't you? I see you can buy it for 300 yen cheaper at the brewery, I'll go there next time💕.
Hi Hirupeko, good evening. ⭐︎
I can still get there from Osaka by train 🚈(I think I'll go by car though lol).
And they make fun cards for you, so you have to go there regularly👍.
The slightly apricot-like aroma and aromatic sweetness is gooey and flows smoothly with a slight bitterness.
The flavor is complex when opened, so as you drink it little by little, the sweetness comes forward and you can enjoy the change in flavor.
Bouken recommended it to me, so I stopped by the brewery on my way back from a visit to Tamba and bought some ✨.
Tamba Sasayama is surprisingly close and I made a fun card so I will go back 💡.
720 mL ¥ 2,050
bouken Good evening ⭐︎
I thought it might swing towards savory, but it's sweeter and more drinkable 💡.
Yes, it feels like a stamp card from a neighborhood independent store and it's so wholesome ✨.
This is the third last one.
I like this one the best, so I decided to pick it.
It is still delicious.
I'm glad to have it because I can't find it at the store.
I apologize for the consecutive posts.
On this day, the Lewan Cup ⚽
Congratulations to Avispa Fukuoka on their first title 🎊!
I have known them since they were in the JFL, so I was deeply moved 🥺.
I don't know most of the current players...
Japan Series in the evening ⚾.
I had to leave the Hanshin thingy behind, but the next day...finally!
The next day...finally...a liquor store in my neighborhood started carrying it, so I bought it.
It's slightly sweet and refreshing with a spiciness in the second half. It has a nice balance of sweet and spicy. It's good as a food sake.
It doesn't say it needs to be refrigerated, and I wonder if the "microfiltration" means ultrafiltration.
Good evening, bouken evangelist 🌇.
You know me from the Fujieda Brooks days ⁉️
You are a super fanatic 😁.
I'm surprised because I didn't expect you to win 🫢.
Congrats to the Tigers 🐅 that thing thing 🎉.
Good morning, Mr. Chichi ☀☀☀☀.
I loved ⚽ more than baseball when I was a kid 😊.
I bought a flag from Fukuoka Brooks era when I went to Space World back then, but I left it in the coin locker at Kokura station and cried😭.
bouken Good evening ⭐︎
I also went to the brewery and bought this one 💡.
I liked this one better than the Junmai Daiginjo because it had more umami than the Junmai Daiginjo✨.

HYOGO SAKE EXPO 2023, Hidetsuki made a good impression at HYOGO SAKE EXPO 2023.
The same sales person visited us as at Kobe Hankyu.
Umaisan was drinking Junmai Namae, saying that she was curious about Shugetsu because of what you guys were saying about it 🤣.
I asked him about it, and he told me it was a liquor store in my neighborhood 😊.
He gave me his business card and said to contact him if I could come to the brewery with a lot of people😅.
Personally, I live downstream from the Muko River, so the fact that it's brewed with Muko River's subsoil water is very important 😁.
We drank
Shugetsu Josen
You can drink it with only one ticket. I was lured by the voice saying, "You can drink it with one ticket.
The official website says the rice polishing ratio, so I guess it's a honjozo?
It has a classic but gentle and generous taste, with a hint of sweetness coming in afterwards. I heard it won a gold medal in a heated sake contest, so I'd like to try it heated.
Shugetsu Junmai Namaizu (not pictured)
Tasted at Kobe Hankyu, but had to check again.
The acidity is still pleasant and tasty.
I read in a past post that he drank a 300ml of this last year and wrote a review that was the exact opposite.
boukwn Good evening ⭐︎
Shugetsu has been very active in sales lately 💡.
I too enjoyed the Junmai more than the Jun Dai ✨.
Didn't you get a loyalty card? LOL!
Good evening, Mr. Kojo😃.
Shugetsu for dolls ♫, right 😁.
I didn't know you had a connection to Mukogawa River 😳I too have endless memories of fishing, picnics and marathons 🤗.
Hello Mr. Yoohee ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
He said he changed his policy from direct sales only😊I wonder if Corona also affected his decision🤔.
I wonder if they are also influenced by Corona 💦 even if they give out loyalty cards here.
HYOGO SAKE EXPO 2023" (4)
KARIBAICHI SHUZUKI SAKE Brewing Company "Shugetsu"/Tanba Sasayama, Hyogo Prefecture
Established in 1916.
Shugetsu's standard sake is "Kamisen-shu," which won the Gold Prize at the Heated Sake Awards 2023.
According to Mr. Bouken, there are now some special distributors.
Shugetsu Junmai-shu Nama
Hidatsuki Junmai-shu Namaishu Nama
Hidatsuki Hiyoroshi
Shugetsu Junmai Daiginjo Wakayama
Hidatsuki Junmai-shu Nama-zake Nama-zake.
All of the Shugetsu sake have a strong umami flavor, with a slight deep sweetness, and are very tasty without being spectacular.
Junmai-shu and Nama-shu are hard to choose from.
The most expensive one had a bit of alcohol and tingling sensation, so it was more suited for a medium-bodied sake.
Nemuchi, good evening. ⭐︎
You've got Shugetsu down pat too👍.
I bought it without tasting it, but Nemuchi's review made me look forward to opening it more and more 💡.
Good evening, Yoohee 🌛I jump at brands I haven't seen before and hold off because I have the disease of tasting them anyway🤣Yoohee, I'm jealous you made it to the brewery ✨I'm looking forward to your review 😉.
