The 7th Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉛
The time was already over and we went to the booth of Seimasa Sake Masamune in preparation for the clean-up.
You didn't come to the "Traveling SAKE" special on Nagano sake at the Hankyu Department Store last time, did you? I asked him a question, and he replied, "No, I didn't." I was going to have a drink with him.
Seimasa Masamune is named after "Seishu," which means "vigorous sake.

It was fruity and had a nice citrusy acidity.
This brewery also seems to be participating in 59 sake breweries, and bouken told the brewery staff that he is a classmate of his and supports the event.
Department store tasting events are difficult to staff, the main focus is on IWC champion saké, and there seems to be some political talk with Nagano Prefecture. It was good to hear other behind-the-scenes stories such as the Nagano Sake Brewers Association's tasting events.
So excuse the massive event posting 🙏 I still love events where you can taste a variety of sake 😋.
Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉛
Here's the last one just before the end of the event!
I know it's delicious, but you can't always buy it at many stores because of the spot delivery via wholesalers.
Yamae-Nishiki 90%, Hime no Mochi from Nagano 10%, Polishing ratio 59%, Alcohol 13%.
I looked up the specs on the net 😅 because the data is wrong.
I think the Yamae Nishiki from the net info is correct 🤔.
Sweet, low al and light drinking. The acidity was pleasant.
I'd love to drink this at home!
Nemuchi-san asked the brewery why they didn't participate in the traveling SAKE event the other day, and they told us the story behind the event 😌 I was surprised at how hard it is to participate in such an event!
Finally, the brewery is holding a project called "59 sake" for brewers who were born between 59 and 60 years old, so I appealed to them that we are classmates 😁.
The winner of this event was Yokoyama.
Nemuchi asked me which one was the best at the event and I said Machida, but later on I was impressed with Matsunotsuyuumachi and Sanzenzakura Normal Sake Naokumi!
It's a shame that the ambulance had to come even though we had taken measures to make the rounds for supplements and water to drink as well 😥.
No drunkenness in front of God 🚫.
According to Nemuchi's information, he also drank some Ten Stone, but I didn't take a picture of it and forgot that he drank it 🤣.
I remember talking to the toji and the salesman 💦.
bouken thanks for your 31 reviews😊.
It's really great that you can remember and write so well ✨I enjoyed reading 🎶.
It's interesting to see so many different warehouses participating, I hope to go next year 😆.
Thank you, Ponchan 🙇.
I took a lot of notes this time 😁.
I think it will be fun next year as well since the participating warehouses seem to be different every year 😆.
Tedorigawa had to cancel their participation due to the earthquake 😥.
Good evening, bouken😄.
Thanks for the event review: ☺️
bouken and Nemuchi, seeing you both check in just made me feel like I was there 😁.
Your passion 🔥 and love 🥰 for Sake is just amazing 🍶.
Hi Aladdin 😃.
Thank you 🙇.
It's somewhat of a struggle, but I manage to do it with a weird sense of obligation that it's not worth it if I don't post everything 😅.
Drinking out.
Kintetsu Nihonbashi "Sake and I".
This was recommended by the waitress.
The color is pale yellow.
Smell is sweet. (I doubt it because I'm getting drunk 😅)
In the mouth, it is slightly carbonated with a tangy taste. It has a distinct sweetness, like a peach.
It goes down smoothly and is just easy to drink.
As the name suggests, it is a sake that can be drunk with great gusto.

A sake brewery that I personally recommend.
This brewery features a four-stage brewing process using glutinous rice, and the glutinous rice gives it a slight heaviness at the back, not unpleasant at all.
The concept of this green carp seems to be umami and sharpness.
Aroma, melon-like and fruity, rich in aroma.
Taste: sweet, sweet and full of umami, but with a great sharpness. I like dry sake, but I haven't tasted such a delicious sweet sake in a long time.
It is like eating melon or pear as it is.
The taste is as clean as a junmai ginjo. It's so delicious.

This one is less apple-like.
It is rather refreshing and delicious.
At Hara Shoten, we also bought a special koji amazake and miso by weight. I would like to visit there again ^_^.

Rice polishing ratio 59
Alcohol content 13%.
I bought this when I visited Hara Shoten in Ueda in November.
He recommended Seimasamune as the best sake using apple yeast. It is true that when I drank it for the first time last year, I thought it was great.
I started with the clear sake. It has a nice apple aroma.
It is not too gorgeous, low in alcohol, and delicious.
