Katahune. Katahune?
Yes, I came across it 15 years ago, and I can't find it.
I came across it on Makomanai Nemoto Sake Shop's website by chance.
Do you have it in Susukino?
What? I can't find "Katafune" on the fridge!
I ask the waiter... What? What's this?
It's a 🖼️ label?
Eh, I can't catch up with my understanding!
And so, the comedy resumes, "Katafune"!
Bon appétit ☺️
I have a vivid memory of a long time ago, of somehow being at a sake discounter and being told that the sake was
I have a vivid memory of "delicious" at the sake counter.
This sake is also good, drunken, lingering.
I don't remember it like this. But it's good!
It's sooooo good!
There were still various "Katafune" in the shoe case.
This is a wolf's smoke of conquest!
This is the best sake I've had recently.
Organic wine-like yeastiness, pleasant on the palate, full flavor, and a nice balance with a bitterness that slowly develops over the finish.
Souzake. It was so good that I couldn't tell the difference between it and junmai or junmai ginjo sake! It has a slightly bitter taste, but is clean and easy to drink without any cloying taste!
Takeda Sake Brewery Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture
The aroma is fruity, with a beautiful floral note derived from alcohol.
The taste is very intense. Sake lovers will love it.
It is a mellow sweet sake. Since it was produced in December, it also has a rich umami flavor, like a matured or a few-day-old sake.
It is considered to go well with salty snacks.
I bought some Fukaya leeks, so I'm having sukiyaki tonight. The leeks are the star of the show tonight, but the dry honjozo sake goes well with the sake "Katafune"...sukiyaki.
This is my first new Katafune sake.
It is fresh and punchy!
The black label one has a gentle flavor that you don't get tired of drinking, but as expected of new sake, it seems to have a stronger taste.
The alcohol content is just under 17%, so sipping a little is just right.

The aroma comes in clearly, pretending to be strong, but the aroma that lingers afterwards seems to be a well brewed aroma.
It may be the lightness on the palate, or it may be the gap between the aroma and the aftertaste.
It was fun to let it play with itself repeatedly, accompanied by a slightly peculiar sake snack.
I enjoyed it with pickled firefly squid.
Purchased at a local liquor store.
We compared the sake at room temperature, lukewarm, and hot, but personally, we prefer lukewarm, room temperature, and hot, in that order.
The lukewarm sake is more rounded than the room temperature sake and has a mellower, sweeter taste. There is none of the sudden rush that is common with heated sake, and it is smooth and easy to drink. Perfect as a food sake.
I know I want to drink it in a wine glass!
The sweetness is lighter than I expected! Is it because of the low acidity? It's not heavy! It's refreshing!
As you drink more? Is it because it's combined with salt? It's a little peculiar, the rice feeling..!
