National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2①
Wakayama ①
On Sunday, the day after the fair, I was bothered by the fact that I couldn't drink so many sakes. I heard from Iji-san, who attended the morning session, that the second entry was half-price!
I was told that I could get in at half price if I showed my wristband or ticket screen 😁.
I wasn't sure if I should mention the half price, but some people were posting on X, so I thought it was okay 😌.
We met up in front of the venue and met up with each other.
My first comment when I first met him was "You are so young! 🤣.
We briefly introduced ourselves and talked about the Fukuoka Off-line Meeting as we walked into the venue.
Where do you want to go? We went to the Wakayama booth, which neither of us had visited yet.
Hatsumitsu Sake Brewery in Kinokawa City!
The brewery produces a variety of sake brands with names like "Congratulations," "Joy," and "World Cup.
The World Cup trademark was once requested by FIFA to be cancelled, but no trademark infringement was found and the sake is still sold today. I've broken it down quite a bit, so please google for more details 😁.
They seem to be a research-oriented brewery that has patented a manufacturing process for long-aged sake and obtained a utility model for happoshu (sparkling wine).
See the photo for specs 😌.
It is more fruity and delicious than I expected. The acidity is also good.

Looking at the street view, the warehouse is almost empty, just a shed and containers...
I wonder if they are still building their own?
