Honjozo sake (pure brewed sake) 🍶🍶.
2025 Ogawa-machi Sake Brewery Festival🪅.
On the rocks 🧊 Aroma of maturity. Not as heavy as expected. Best match with red ginger crackers. It's a marriage. Sourness with candy toppings. Good with junk snacks👍.

We went to a certain restaurant we had always wanted to visit.
For my first drink, I asked the staff for a recommendation and was given a brand I had never heard of, which had just been stocked today! I liked it very much. It was a pineapple type, not too sweet and sharp. I had never heard of this sake brewery, so I am very curious about them now.
Sake given to me by my boss. I am a junmai (pure rice) drinker, but sometimes I like to try a ginjo. I counted up the number of breweries that have registered their sake stamps, and found that there are now 57 breweries from Akita in the north to Kagoshima in the south. I would like to visit more sake breweries in western Japan.
I found out about Akaban Omachi on the internet. I found it rather mild and refreshing, which is hard to believe for a sake degree of +13 degrees. I am sorry that I cannot mention the aroma because I am currently having problems with my sense of smell.

This sake was aged for 5 years in earthen cellars and another 6 months in bourbon casks, but it does not have the typical characteristics of old sake.
It is an easy-drinking, dry sake with a hint of oak in the aroma and flavor.
Teisho PREMIUM Premium Junmai Ginjyo Matured HIYAOROSHI Hiyoroshi
Rating 4.4-4.5
The sake rice used is Yamashu No. 4, a very rare sake rice. Fruity and mature, with a powerful and deep junmai ginjo flavor, with acidity floating in the midst of its robustness. A beautiful sake that will bring out the best of the autumn season. Can also be served slightly pineapple style.
TEIMATSU PREMIUM Premium Junmai Ginjyo Nama Sake MIKADOMATSU
Rated 4.4-4.3
This sake is fermented at a lower temperature zone with mineral-rich brewing water using Yamagata Prefecture's Tamanao (Yamada-Nishiki ✕ Kinmon-Nishiki). It is freshly pressed and packed, giving it a fruity aroma and a fresh, crisp mouthfeel. It has a very deep taste, and the aroma and flavor gradually expand in the mouth. After that, a clean aftertaste that quickly recedes is appealing.
Slight bitterness behind the fruity aroma....
Teisho Premium Junmai Nigori Sake - Natural Bihatto MIKADOMATSU
Rating 4.4
Alcohol 14%, Saitama rice, Polishing ratio 70%.
It has a fresh, fruity, muscat-like aroma and a slightly dry, refreshing nigori taste. Newly-pressed new rice sake with freshly-pressed yeast. It is low-alcohol, juicy, and delicious.
