After Chiyoda Kura, we had some sake that the store owner had purchased when he went to Tokushima. I was envious that he was drinking Seitama there.
I wonder if it's a low-alcoholic and summery sake.
I heard it was sold at the Aeon Tokushima store.
In rural areas, it's often easier to find local sake at an aeon store than at a liquor store. I don't know about now, but that was 6 years ago.
It's pretty clear and thin... or maybe it doesn't have much flavor...
Not as good as the sake they brought to the Sake Expo in Harukas 🤔.
Old wine! 1992 (lol)
It was a bit watery and lackluster, but it took away the prejudice that old sake is yellow or brown! It was a sake that took away the prejudice that old sake is yellow or brown!
It was beautiful and almost transparent!

Super Special Junmai Daiginjo 其芳香如夢
In the glass,
A nice aroma with a faintly gorgeous feeling.
On the palate
Sweet flavor with a hint of bitterness, followed by sourness.
The acidity is not strong, but it is present.
There is a little bit of bitter acidity, but it is not strong,
It is not bitter and has a strong presence, but it has a bitter acidic taste.
There is no pungency that I don't like,
It is easy to drink, and I personally like it 😋.
After finishing it, I think I can feel the lingering bitterness 🙄.
It was easy to drink and delicious sake 😋😋.
Thank you for the sake 😋😋😋.
Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO⑧
Hyo-taiko, which is rarely seen outside of Kintetsu Department Store events
We drank
Hyo-Taiko Junmai Nama Nama Sake Akisakari
I didn't know about this rice, so I asked about it and was told that it is edible rice from Tokushima Prefecture.
It wasn't very sweet, but it had a good volume of flavor.
Hyoho Taikoh Junmai Ginjo Namaishiki
I didn't take a picture of it because I drank it in the past but I didn't buy it 😅I should have taken a picture 💦.
This was my favorite of all the draft sake I had this time.
Honor student type sweet and tasty sake.
Hyoutaiko - Low-polished Junmai Namaishiki
They wanted to offer a slightly different sake from the others.
Sake with 80% polished rice and quite 🫶 with a complex flavor.
Sake with a low-polished rice base
This is the base of the low-polished raw sake, so we tasted this one as well.
It is indeed a very peculiar sake.
I felt it was suitable for warming up.
Hyoho Taikoh Junmai Ginjo
I liked this one the best because of its strong sweetness.
When I told them I couldn't buy it because of my refrigerator, they said they would be coming to the basement in May for tasting and sales, so I thought I would remember to go and buy it!
Abeno Harukas Kintetsu Main Store Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO④
Hyotaiko, which is not so familiar to Tokushima Prefecture, but often seen at events.
Hyotei Taikoh Junmai Namaisake Akisakari
Akisakari is made from edible rice. It tastes a little full and voluminous, with a chocolaty and alcoholic aftertaste.
◯Hyohi Taikoh Low-polished Junmai Namaishiki
It is a unique 80% polished rice pure sake. It has a slightly perverted taste. It is said that it was made in order to make it unique from other sake. I thought it would be better if it was more aggressive.
◯Hyoho Taikoh Junmai Ginjyo Namaishiki
It has no peculiarities and is a good quality sake with a normal sweet flavor.
◯Hyohi Taikoh Junmai Ginjo
Sour and refreshing.
◯Hyohi Taikoh Junmai Ginjo (spring label)
It is a limited edition for spring. It has a light and refreshing taste. It is refreshing and easy to drink.
◯Kodo
It is said to be called "Kodo". We have had it before. It has a strong acidity and a little citrusy taste.
I don't think they had LED dream yeast this time 🤔.
Purchased at a department store event, this is a local sake from Awa City, Tokushima Prefecture.
The water used is said to be from the Yoshino River.
It is a classic type of sweet sake with a delicious taste of rice.
You can drink it with a gulp. 🙆♂️ lol
