Timeline
DevidAs always, at the right time for a business trip.
It has been a long time since I had a business trip outside of the prefecture.
The aroma is typical of sake. 
ねむちThe 12th brewery at the 6th Takashimaya Sake Festival
Yokota Sake Brewery [Nihonbashi] [Ukishiro], Saitama Prefecture / Gyoda City
This brewery has won the Gold Medal in the National New Sake Competition 22 times (the most in Saitama Prefecture).
We met up with bouken-san here, and since we could get a pair of boar cups by following him on Instagram, the four of us followed him and the other guys. We were just sold out of boar cups 😁.
Nihonbashi Nigori Sake
It was creamy but I think the aftertaste was refreshing.
Nihonbashi Junmai Sake, freshly squeezed raw sake.
The taste is full and rich.
Nihonbashi Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake
Fresh, fruity and delicious.
Nihonbashi Dark Mellow Junmai Edo no Banquet
It uses Edo yeast. The official name is "Saccharomyces yedo".
It tastes like old sake, and when I asked if it was aged, they said it was not. I think they said they use rice.
He gave me a boar cup, but I said hello to him while the other guy was buying and went on to the next without buying anything... 🙏. boukenTakashimaya Sake Festival ①.
This is the first time in four years that the festival has been held, and this will be my first time attending.
I visited once on Saturday afternoon, but got fed up with so many people that I left without buying or drinking anything. And I had a hair salon appointment coming up💦.
It seems that Rutemi, Masha, and Hirupeko were somewhere in the venue at this time.
I was wondering whether I should head back to the venue after finishing my business, when I heard that Nemuchi-san had arrived, so I decided to join the event.
I found her at the Nihonbashi booth!
We met up 😁.
I tasted
Junmai Daiginjo Hyoketsu Nama Sake
Junmai freshly pressed sake
Edo no Banquet
The woman who served us was probably the toji (master brewer).
I have tasted Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake in the past, and it is still delicious. It is gorgeous and slightly sweet.
I have tasted the freshly pressed sake at home in the past, but I liked it because it was easier to drink than the raw sake.
Edo no Banquet is a sake made with Edo yeast. It tastes like it has been aged. The toji says that it is not aged. It is a heated sake type?
I got a novelty gift, but sorry I didn't buy anything 🥺. 
ヒラッチョThe second sake tasting in Koedo Kurari is in Nihonbashi.
This sake is from a brewery in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture.
Shinsho-san recently reviewed a sake from this brewery, and we were curious about it.
The types are different, but this is a standard honjozo
First, at room temperature, a classic sake with acidity.
Next, heated in a hot water bath.
The flavor expands.
This sake is loved by the locals in Gyoda City.
This kind of classical sake, with its standard production, has a quality that is hard to find.
The second and third images show "Music Cafe Amanda" where we had Kashmir curry for lunch.
The restaurants and eateries around the "Toki no Kane" and "Kura-zukuri no Machi" area were crowded from 11:00 a.m. onwards 😅.
Amanda is located a bit far away from the restaurant and is a true hideout.
The pleasantly soft sound of analog records playing from the speakers, which I believe were made by the owner 😊.
They don't have sake, but they do have beer and wine.
The Kashmiri curry was also delicious 🍛. しんじょうHello(****)!
I will soon be in Kawagoe for the first time!
I'm so jealous of you Saitama people that you have a Kawagoe routine!
I tasted Nihonbashi and expected the Honjozo to be good!
It wasn't available at that time, so I will fulfill my revenge! ヒラッチョShinsho,
I patrolled Kawagoe today: ❗️
Please enjoy your first visit to Saitama Prefecture and your first visit to Kawagoe👍.
There is also a Kagamiyama store in the Meiji warehouse in Koedo Kurasato.
Don't miss Kagamiyama's standard fire-aged junmai sake. 

しんじょうFirst day of Takashimaya Sake Festival(*)
Sake from Saitama Prefecture is not easy to see in Osaka!
So I was curious and went there!
Nihonbashi is the name of a place in the area where there is an electronics store district right there from Takashimaya
The reading of the name is different, but I felt a connection.
What a surprise, this is for me and I bought it immediately!
And you can get a cup of sake by following their instagram!
This is a five year old sake!
It's a very dry sake, so the hit is strong, but the taste is relatively light.
It also goes well with warmed sake, although it doesn't change drastically!
I was originally hoping to get a bottle of Kenrishi Nada no Nama Nama, but they couldn't produce it in time, so I was disappointed, but this one saved the day!
Also, Edo no Banquet was very clear and sweet with a strong acidity!
The freshly pressed sake was a bit astringent and crisp!
And Takebayashi from Okayama!
Kamo Midori no Sake Brewery's own rice brand!
Junmai is a good sake blended with a little bit of old sake, and it was quite good warmed up!
Personally, I was tempted to buy the Kamo Midori Honjozo and the regular cup, but I didn't! ポンちゃんGood morning, Shinjou-san ☀☀☀☀.
Takashimaya Sake Festival sounds like a lot of fun🎶.
There is a sake named Nihonbashi 😳and it's 5 years old! That's unique to the event👍✨I'd love to go 😁. boukenShinjo-san, this is my day 🙋.
I heard good things 😁.
Nihonbashi is not my favorite type of bridge, but I hope there is a good one 🤔. しんじょうHello, Mr. Pon-chan.
As I recall, the quantity of the five year old was limited.
It's hard to recommend it, but the event itself is a good one with many things to eat.
I was so scared of the new cologne that I left right away, but you can certainly enjoy 7 hours of fun! しんじょうHello Mr. BOUKEN (****)
Nihonbashi is quite gutsy and dry, old-fashioned, isn't it?
The sake cups are quite small and are more for objects than for practical use.
This time, the percentage of dry sake cups is higher than that of Hankyu and others. 遥瑛チチShinjou-san, every time ❗️
You are still very energetic in digging up the very serious minor sake 👍.
I'm glad to see so many sake breweries come to Osaka for their events! しんじょうThank you very much!
Really good entertainment and I appreciate that!
Tokyo is even more backwoods, but...
I have a taste for unpopular sake, so minor sake naturally lines up in my house at these occasions...
monkimiIt looks like Takashimaya PB. The barrel smell is nice. 錫すずMy favorite original wine つきたてThis is the second bottle of my parents' Japanet Takata Sake subscription service in January. It is a daiginjo, so I have high expectations.
What's that? It's tasty, but it's too polished and somewhat lacking. In my personal opinion, it seems to be too clear with aluzo.
It doesn't change the fact that it was delicious 😃.
Next time I have a chance to drink it, I'll choose Jun Dai 😁. つよーだいGood evening 😄I know the feeling of delicious but not enough😇I know that kind of thing. つきたてGood morning, Tsuyodai 😃.
I've become a selfish body 😅I've been a selfish body 😅I've been a selfish body 🤣. つきたてThe January issue of my parents' Japanet Takata sake subscription service.
I'm excited to see my first brand.
I'll take some of the goodies!
It is dry but has a nice umami flavor.
I thought it should be heated up, and I was right.
It's good because the umami is fully expressed.
Thanks for the drink! Tom in TokyoThis is a comment from an amateur sake lover.
Today I had a chance to taste this sake for the first time at the Shinjuku Takashimaya Department Store where the Yokota Sake Brewery was promoting their product. It is a summer sake with a very robust rice flavor. The alcohol content is 15%, which is moderate. It is a strong sake that does not lose its strength to any meal. It gave me energy. Thank you for the great taste today! gon78701 2002/9

Nihonbashi Junmai-shu Namaishu
15-16° B
Saitama Gyoda-shi, Saitama Yokota Shuzo
720 1223 boukenI come to Takashimaya in Namba once a year, but I missed it last year, so I bought it this time.
Gyoda is the location of Rikuo, right?
The Junmai Daiginjo raw was more gorgeous and tasty, but a bit expensive, so I went with this one.
It's not a modern type, but it's full of gentle rice flavor. It was said to be dry, but it wasn't that dry, was it? boukenIt's pure rice, but it has the type of taste you'd expect from an alcoholic beverage. It has a sweetness at the beginning, but in the second half, the alcohol comes in strong. boukenIt's so sour that it feels sour. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
