Echizenmisaki "Tanabe Shuzo/Fukui Prefecture" meeting with the brewer: ‼️
The (hidden ⁉️)No. 4 bottle (🍶) that was left behind the bottle of sake 🍶 had a refreshingly light yet robust flavor that is typical of Gohyakumangoku 🎵.
I wanted to go to the after-party after taking a picture with the brewer, but I had to leave the next day because I had to work 😭Dragon was off work the next day and joined the party!
I wish I could have listened to more of his stories!
I wish I could have listened to more of your stories!
I am so happy that I could be a part of this great Sake party again! I'm so glad I was there 😆.
Thank you Tanabe Sake Brewery, Sagashiro Shoten, and our town's sake master,
Thank you so much 🙇.
Echizenmisaki "Tanabe Shuzo/Fukui" Sake Brewery ‼️
We were able to have a very rare sake that only 15 bottles were brewed 😆 Only the sake from the bottom of the upper layer was collected❗We were thrilled to be able to have such a precious sake 😂.
The sweetness is moderate and sharp, and the roundness of the tailings is pleasant 🎵The alcohol content is high and you can feel the alcohol, but it doesn't feel heavy ✨‼️ was a great encounter ✨
Echizenmisaki "Tanabe Sake Brewery/Fukui Prefecture" meeting with the brewer: ‼️
The sake that got me hooked on Echizenmisaki swamp is this Honami 😆 100% Sakahomare, Fukui Prefecture's premium sake rice! As the label on the back says, it's gorgeous and soft 😆 Waya, it's delicious 😋 The ladies who attended were also intoxicated by the taste 😊.
We hope you enjoy it too 😉.
Echizenmisaki "Tanabe Shuzo/Fukui Prefecture" meeting with the brewer: ‼️
The sake is a limited edition from Sagashiro Shoten and Tanabe Sake Brewery in Kushiro❗ I had it once this year and it's so good!
I drank it once this year and it's so good 😋😋 The member who always join the sake party brought a sake heater and heated up the sake 🍶 and drank it 👍The introduction of sake by the toji, the story of sake brewing and the liquor store situation by the owner of Sagashiro store were very valuable ❗Educational I could listen to the sake stories forever ✨.
Echizenmisaki "Tanabe Shuzo/Fukui Prefecture" meeting with the brewer: ‼️
Echizenmisaki and Yamada Nishiki, how can this be bad? ‼️The flavor is fine and spreads in the mouth! I'm an idiot, but I think I got a great sense of Yamadanishiki 😆.
Doragon, who was sitting opposite me, was also intoxicated by the Echizen cape 😋 and we both talked about how much we wanted to visit Fukui Prefecture❗.
Echizen Cape "Tanabe Sake Brewery/Fukui Prefecture" meeting with the brewery owner!
Let's go, let's go, let's go 🎵Here he comes, Starck Kaiser! The name sounds like it could be from the German national soccer team.
The name sounds like it belongs on the German national soccer team ⚽ Even though it's super dry, it's still sharp with a good umami and a nice sharpness 🎵It was held at an izakaya that I always go to, and it went perfectly with the seafood from the east of Hokkaido ❗I'm sure it will go perfectly with Fukui's seafood too 🎵 Eiheiji Town!
Eiheiji Town! Eiheiji is a town with a long history as the gate town of the Soto sect of Buddhism! In the midst of this town, while respecting traditions such as steaming rice in a Japanese kettle and tank pressing, the Tanabe Brewery continues to evolve to meet the needs of today's high-caliber, Stark Kaiser style brewers❗That's a wonderful thing 😌.
Good evening, Mr. Noodle Wine King. I don't understand your review, but it's hot. I feel enthusiasm.
It's a hot serving.
Nice 👍I love this kind of thing!
Tanabe Shuzo / Fukui Prefecture" at the meeting with the brewer: ‼️
We continued with Akanegumo, which tastes great at room temperature and warmed sake☁️ and of course, we were told to go to the members who had brought their own heated sake (😋) for later 😉.
Before the event, the owner of Sagajo Shoten guided us to meet Mr. Tadashi Tanabe of Tanabe Shuzo ‼️ I had heard about him from Mr. Gyve and was very honored that he recognized me 🙏 And of course Mr. Gyve's story too❗Mr. Tadashi is a wonderful man who talks to us so openly😊Sake no kawaii is amazing! Sake is a circle ✨.
Thanks again for your time here, Mr. King of Noodles and Sake!
It was fate that I had a chance to talk with Mr. Tanabe a little bit at the Bishu Competition the other day 😁.
I'll be sending you more direct from Fukui✨.
Good evening, Mr. Jive 😃.
So a series of fateful encounters have brought us to this day ❗It's wonderful that people who make sake and people who love sake can meet so far away from each other ✨.
I'll send you some sake from Hokkaido too 🎵
Celebrating Echizen-Misaki "Tanabe Sake Brewery/Fukui Prefecture" ‼️
Last week, Tanabe Brewery from Echizen-misaki came to our town 😆 It's so exciting to have a brewery from Fukui prefecture come to Doto 😂 Fukui 😲 The day before the meeting was held in Kushiro city, and the next day they came to our town!
Last year we were so impressed with Kamishin Brewery's visit, and this time too 🎵It's so nice to see a sake brewery that cares about the countryside ✨.
Thanks to the efforts of Tanabe Sake Brewery (pictured right), Sagashiro Shoten (pictured center), and Betsukai's sake BOS (the guy standing on the left), we were able to have a great time! We are truly grateful 😌.
First of all, the rare Kuzuryu rice ❗Opening act is the best 👍Moderate sweetness and good umami ❗Beautiful but somewhat rugged 🎵The toji said that it is difficult to polish Kuzuryu rice 🤔I wonder if it is a characteristic of Kuzuryu rice! We are off to a great start 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Noodle Sake King 😃.
It's great to have the brewer of your favorite sake come to your hometown 😄It's really a long way from home and it's very emotional for you 😁.
I'm really looking forward to checking in with you in the future to see how much fun you had 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Menshuoh 🌃😀
Tanabe Sake Brewery in Cape Echizen is in Hokkaido 👀✨This must have been a lot of heat from Mr. Menshuoh 🤔Take off your jacket, I bet it's a tank top 🤣.
Good morning, Aladdin 😃.
I can only thank you for coming to the far east of Japan 🙏 We had a lot of fun, but the premise was that all the sake was too good 😆.
Good morning, Maechen 😃.
I just got drunk on beautiful sake and it depends on the efforts of the sake brewers and breweries 😌I want to wear a tank top but it's already cold in Doto 🥶.
Good morning, Mr. Noodle Sake King 😃.
This is such a hot review that the excitement and thoughts of Echizen Cape being in our city ‼️ jumps out from the text 🥹I wish I could drink it there too ☺️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
It was a great event in the countryside of the Far East ✨The sight of all your favorite brands lined up was breathtaking ✨‼️ I'm going to be polyphoric about this one 😚.
Hello, Mr. King of Noodles and Sake!
I see that you were at last year's meeting and this year it's the Tanabe Sake Brewery 😁.
Finally a place to express my love for Echizenmisaki directly to the brewer 🤣.
Good evening, Mr. Gyve 😃.
It was a pleasure to meet with the brewer of your favorite sake ✨Isn't it great to see a brewery that cares about the countryside like this one ‼️
Fukui Prefecture - Echizen Cape
Tank pressing Junmai-shu
Fire-aged
100% Gohyakumangoku produced in Fukui Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 16%.
Nearly colorless yellow with a sense of transparency.
The first impression of the aroma is elegant brown sugar.
Caramel, coffee, and a hint of yogurt
First impression of taste is rather strong
Mild sweetness, gentle acidity, moderate bitterness
Overall impression is smooth with a light sense of maturity
A moderate lingering aftertaste
It is easy to drink while feeling the sense of maturity.
You can drink it with a sense of umami, but it is not that assertive, so it is relatively versatile with food.
I would like to pair it with fish.
I think it would be a great sake to drink with fish, such as yuzu-an grilled bonito, while enjoying the delicate flavor of the fish.
It would also be nice to drink it while chewing brown sugar from a delicious remote island in Okinawa.
[The 2nd Bishu Competition Grand Tasting (15)
Finally, we have reached the last of the Bishu Competition reviews 😁.
The last one was still Fukui Ai🥰, a local sake 🍶.
Echizenmisaki Junmai Daiginjo Sakahomare
The aroma of sweet rice that starts lightly, the juicy flavor slowly builds up to a pleasantly sweet aftertaste that finishes with a sharp finish.
This completes the list of 15 sakes we received.
At the end, I had a chance to talk with the brewer of "Echizen Misaki", and to my surprise, he recognized "Menshu-Ou" as he had read my post on "Sake-no-Wa" 🤣.
And he also said he knows the person who presents "Echizen Cape" to Mr. Menshuoh from Fukui (i.e. himself Jayvee) 💦.
I never thought such a connection could be made, I want to cherish the [sakénowa no karma] ✨.
Jive, thank you for the Bishu Con report!
I could feel your love for sake in your careful posting of all the sake 🫶.
Gyve and Menshuoh's love for Echizenmisaki has reached the brewery, which is awesome😊.
I'm going to try drinking Echizenmisaki at home next time too 🍶.
Good evening, Mr. Gyves.
I wonder if the brewer is doing sakewa because he wants to know what the drinkers think?
Or is the brewer a sake geek like us? 😂
Hi Jive, good evening.
Thank you for your review of the Bishu Competition🎵.
You had a lot of fun even after a night shift: ⤴️
I really enjoyed reading your review 😁✨✨.
I would love to try Echizenmisaki someday!
Good morning, Jive 🌅😀😀
Thank you for completing the Bishu competition 🏃♀️😊Closing the event at Cape Echizen in Fukui is a quintessential 😚👍I feel like I've connected with a lot of people at Sake no Wa and feel like I have some kind of connection with them 🥳.
Gyve, thanks for the beautiful sake con review😊you drank a lot 😁.
I didn't think there would be such a connection at the last Echizen cape 😳You revealed the story, didn't you? I hope you were not surprised, Mr. Kurabito? I was surprised 😆.
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
I'm surprised you recognized me 💦.
Let's continue to promote not only the local sake but also the Echizen cape 👍because it's delicious 😋I had a saké from here and it was elegant and tasty 🎵.
Good evening, Aladdin!
Next year's Bishu Competition will be held in Osaka in conjunction with the Osaka Expo, so I hope you will join us ✨.
I've been doing missionary work for "Echizen Misaki" at liquor stores and izakaya (Japanese style pubs) and it worked 😁.
Good evening, Matsuchiyo-san 🌛.
I never thought of it before, but I think the brewers might be watching "sake-no-wa" as a kind of ego-surveillance 🤔.
I can directly ask him about his evaluation of the sake.
Good evening, ma-ki🌛.
I was forced to participate because I thought it would be difficult to meet [Bishu Competition] again in my life, but I think it was a great decision for me personally 😁.
There are many kinds of Fukui sake, but please try "Echizen Misaki" ✨.
Good evening, Maecin-san 🌛.
I never thought I would get to know other sake lovers and meet the brewers of my favorite sake 😲.
[I didn't think I'd be so connected until I started Sake no Wa ✨.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
I told the Tanabe Sake Brewery of "Echizen Misaki" the truth 🤣.
[I told him I was doing "Sake-no-wa" => he told me the name of Mr. Menshu-Ou => he told me the name of Jive => I told him it was me 😁.
Good evening, Mr. Noodle Sake King 🌛.
I'm sure the brewery was also looking forward to visiting Betsukai town 😁.
I think you may already be an official "Cape Echizen" influencer approved by the brewery 🤣.
[The 2nd Bishu Competition Grand Tasting
Next, we had a glass of local sake from Fukui, Japan.
Echizenmisaki Tank Pressed Junmai Revived Rice Kutouryu
The aroma of rice with a slight sense of maturity, the firm umami that quickly enters the mouth, the strong acidity after a sharp taste, and the bitterness that lingers on the tongue at the end.
The taste is firm even though the temperature is close to room temperature, and the evening chilliness makes you want to warm it up.
In addition to the sake competition, the "Jizake Tourism" event will also offer tastings of Fukui's local sake, as well as local wine, beer, plum wine and other liqueurs ✨.
The tickets are tied together, so there's some Fukui sake in between 😁.
At a local sake meeting❗
I thought that since the members had brought Akaneun at the meeting held last year around this time, they would bring it this year too 😁.
They even brought it to "Nonbei Yokocho" ‼️ which shows how serious they are 😆.
It's great at room temperature 😋 it's great lukewarm ✌ it's great hot ✌ it's great hot 😊 too good 👍
Good evening Noodle-chan🌇You always praise Cape Echizen so much, I'd like to try it if it's that good😆I've been coming to Nobey Yokocho more and more lately👍.
