National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka㊴
Saitama Prefecture Booth ⑬
Gonda Sake Brewery Co. is a brewery located in Kumagaya City. I feel like Kumagaya City is always in the news for being a hot city in the summer.
Naozane ◉ Special Junmai
This sake is named after Jiro Naozane Kumagai from the "Tale of the Heike" Kabuki play. It has a nice aroma, a sweet and umami taste, and a refreshing and well-balanced flavor. It is also delicious.
The number of farmers producing sake musashi has been drastically decreasing due to the 2022 rice riots because the ears are high and easily fall over and the yield is low.
It seems that sake Musashi does not have a strong rice characteristic in sake brewing, and it is difficult to differentiate it from other varieties.

Saitama Prefecture⑬
Gonda Sake Brewery in Kumagaya City.
The proprietress and director, Sachiko Gonda, is a former system engineer. Aren't there many former SEs in the sake industry?
Rice polishing ratio 60%, sake Musashi 15%, sake degree +10, acidity 1.8
Amino acidity 1.8. 1,430 yen.
Nice aroma. Slightly refreshing.
Surprised to see such a dry taste when I saw the specs.
Bought this sake yesterday at a roadside station. It seems to go down smoothly. It is a little dry. But lacks something outstanding?
It is a junmai sake, which I don't like to drink with brewer's alcohol, so it's okay.
I wonder if the sweeter charted Junmai Ginjo I bought separately would have been better.
We purchased this sake because it was bottled from the same tank as the sake that was entered in the 2023 National New Sake Competition Gold Award-winning sake.
It is a delicious sake with a delicate sweetness that is not too sweet despite being a daiginjo, and is mellow and well-balanced.
I bought it at a roadside station in Fukaya. It tastes dark and sweet. I heated it up with the "Senbero Maker" I got as a Christmas present, and it has a soft and deep flavor.
