The 3rd Bishu Competition 2025 Kansai Competition (7)
Echino Yukitsubaki is often seen in supermarkets and mass merchandisers, but I was curious to see some labels I had never seen before and some high-end looking sakes.
The brewer and toji-san were there!
Tsuki no Tama Hibiki Junmai Daiginjo
Yamadanishiki Polishing ratio 40
Fruity, sweet, beautiful and delicious!
I thought it looked very expensive, but without the paulownia box, it cost about 3,000 yen, which is a very reasonable price!
Junmai Daiginjo-genshu TAIICHI
This sake is made with Yuzukitsubaki yeast and Omachi.
Taiichi is the toji's name.
Fruity, sweet, juicy, and delicious 😋.
I wonder if "direct pass" means "direct pumping"?
Grand Cuvee Junmai Daiginjo Genshu
The sake is the same as Tamahyoki, but the bottling method is different.
It tastes fresh and delicious, like a fresh sake 😋.
About 5400 yen for 720ml
Junmai Daiginjo Uonuma Koshihikari
Polishing ratio 40%, price 11,000 yen
It has a lactic acidity like Yakult, but it's sweet and delicious 🫶.
I think it's a taste for different tastes😅.
They put 2 people in with 1 person's ticket because it was a waste of ticket 🙏.
I drank all kinds of drinks at this booth as a thank you 😋.
He said he couldn't bring some of the drinks due to adult reasons.
I bought it at a nearby Maruetsu.
I would like to hold off on the purchase price in the future.
I picked it up because it is a sake brewer that is concerned with handcrafting.
It tastes good. I don't think it's great...
I don't know if it has to be junmai daiginjo anymore...I don't have enough vocabulary.
It's not spicy, maybe in the middle. It's like sweetness comes out later.
100% Koshitanrei is used. 17% alcohol by volume. The alcohol content is 17%, which is very strong. The alcohol content makes it feel spicy, but it has a rich fruity or umami flavor. It is exactly what you would expect from Koshitanrei sake. It is so tasty that it can be drunk in large quantities, so you have to drink plenty of water with it.
Yummmm!
I thought it would be a light and dry sake like Niigata, but it is more like a light and fruity one. It has no off-putting taste, and the umami of rice, lightness, and fruity taste are well balanced and delicious!
The quality is unbelievable for the low 1,000 yen range 😂Please raise the price!
I'm sure Niigata's sake is great!
Attracted by the label design...
I had some left over from the other day, so I compared the two.
The color of this one is clear like water, but the taste is stronger...
While the Saku has a gorgeous sweet aroma and is perfectly integrated like water, the aroma of this one is not nearly as gorgeous....
The taste is also a bit tangy, and although I can't describe it well, there are some points that make me go "hmmm? I can't describe it well, but there are some parts that make me go, "Hmm?
But I don't dislike the aftertaste. I like it.
Every sake I've had so far has a point where I "like this part" or "don't like this part," and if I can better verbalize it, I'll be able to find more and more sake to my liking. ......
