Watafune No.2 from Hyogo Prefecture, Polishing ratio 50%.
Flower yeast. It is gorgeous, full-bodied, sweet, fruity, and delicious ✨It has an elegant acidity, and the image of Shiki is one that can be drunk neatly! As the temperature rises, it becomes mellow, milky, and full-bodied.
Using our own strain of yeast from the Kyokai No. 6 series.
It has a strong acidity and a sharp taste.
The aftertaste is slightly bitter and dry.

The 8th Osaka Takashimaya Sake Festival (6)
The booth of Laughing Shiki.
The lineup this time was a full lineup of Kijo sake.
◉Shoki Retro Label Junmai
I was curious about this sake, but had never seen it on sale. It is an authentic junmai sake with a refreshing acidity.
Akai Ito 2024-2025, fire-brewed
A flower yeast is used. Slightly sweet with a low acidity.
MONSOON ◉MONSOON Sho Shiki Kojo-shu Yamadanishiki Koshiki Nama Tomo 2024-2025 Hi-iri
Can be served chilled or on the rocks, but we serve it at room temperature to let the sweetness come through. The sweetness opens up at room temperature. They do not recommend lukewarm heating.
◉MONSOON Shoshiki Kijoshu Ginbuki Koshiki Nama Tomo 2024-2025 Hi-iri
The aroma is mild, and the sweetness is followed by bitterness. It has a nourishing taste.
◉MONSOON Kijoshu Tamakae, brewed in 2022-2023, aged at low temperature, Hi-iri
Aged for two years, it has a deep and rich flavor. This is my favorite.
Shiki Shojo-shu special edition COLDFRONT Watabune No. 2 2022-2023
This is a very sharp and sweet sake with a slight bitterness. Also aged for 2 years.
There are no other breweries that make this much kijoshu, so it seems to be a good choice to let people know about it.

Shu when opened
No gassiness
Slightly plum-like top
The same slightly fruity aroma as on the top rise, soft sweetness and rice flavor spreads with a citrus-like acidity, leaving a slightly bitter, sweet and sour aftertaste that quickly fades away.
The acidity that rises from the beginning is impressive, and the sweetness and umami of the rice can be felt, making it easy to drink.
It goes well with meals and is of course delicious on its own.
It went well with Top Value's retort mackerel grilled with salt, meat and potatoes, chicken liver stewed in wine, and chilled tofu.

Laughing Four Seasons Booth
We didn't bring Sensation, but the main lineup was fire-brewed Monsoon.
The brewer only offered plastic cups to Umaisan, so I was a little bit annoyed, but he shared some of what Umaisan was drinking 😅.
I drank Monsoon Tamaei Hi-ire!
It's fire-brewed, but it's still a quintessential Shiki, sweet and fresh!
I was a bit disappointed with the first one, so I left with only one type of beer💦.
Congratulations to bouken on your 4300 check-in 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉!
You have surpassed it in no time 😊👍.
If you don't get a lot of response at events, you tend to go through a lot of other things 😁.
Thank you, Ponchan 🙇.
I didn't prepare any special drink so I decided to make it a Kiri-number here 😅 sometimes the drink is good but... 😅 sometimes the drink is not 😥.
bouken, I know I'm late...but congratulations on your 4300 check-ins 🎉you're stealth as usual 🙄 lol sorry to hear about the four seasons, it was delicious 😅we haven't tasted together lately, we'll have to go back 😉.
Thank you, Nemuchi 🙇 I didn't prepare anything in particular, so I just let it slide 🙄.
I didn't have anything in particular prepared, so I just let it slide 🙄.
I wanted to drink a lot of different kinds of sake though 😅.
I'd love to join you if I can make it to the event in Keihan or 🙇😁.

Is it a summer sake from the name?
Moderately sour and refreshingly sweet.
I don't feel bad sourness because it has sweetness and deliciousness.
It was a delicious sake that was easy to drink!

The first one on the left side, Laughing Four Seasons
It is said to have "a sense of juice reminiscent of peaches and lychees, refined balance and transparency.
It is indeed soft like that at the moment of drinking.
It's capped off with a touch of bitterness.

Today's draft sake with Association 901 and 1001 using Shiga Prefecture's Laughing Shiki's Watari No. 2: ❗️
The aroma is not much. One sip and after the dense texture on the tongue comes bitterness and sibilance❗️ sake that is also good as a food sake⭕️
This is amazing!
