I was looking forward to going to 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
I went to a standing restaurant!
With nigori sake... and ✨ Beppin✨!
Nice design and eye-catching label!
Then, a sip...hmmm! The sweetness from the lees.
Good! Delicious!
The acidity is moderate and refreshing!
It was great as a cold sake!
The snacks,
✨Tsukiji's most stylish potato salad✨
It was delicious - thank you ⤴︎
Koikawa Shuzo
Koigawa Junmai Daiginjo Gokagozen
This brewery is located in Shonai-machi, Yamagata Prefecture.
Kame-no-o" from Yamagata Prefecture/Kagoshima Prefecture
50% polished rice.
Mild and moderately refreshing aroma,
The flavor of the rice is firm,
Calm and gentle aftertaste.
#Nihon-shu
At the revived MICHIFUJI.
R2BY, slightly yellow in color. It has a mild flavor when warmed to lukewarm. It has a strong sense of sharpness as if it has a sake meter of +12.
At Iriso Tantanmen Nao
Slightly bitter
The one in the picture is a birthday gift of Hire Sake, which had a gentle taste.
Oh, I got the date wrong, the amber sake is November 5 🙇♀️
The Hire Sake is in September: 🙇♀️🙇♀️
The second drink was Koikawa.
I've had it before, but I don't remember, so I'll give you my impression again. (Basically, I always do lol).
It was light and light on the palate! The description of the store says it can be served warmed, but the aftertaste is not too strong (but it is still strong enough to be good even for me, who likes it refreshing)! (but I like it light, but the aftertaste is still nice and firm)
(But it has a firm aftertaste, which is good even for someone like me who likes it refreshing.) This is another sake that seems to be easy to drink, and I am terrified. LOL!
But it was delicious, so there will be a repeat!
Sake Go Around (2)
The brewer's recommendation is to drink it hot, or it comes out hot without being asked. Easy to drink with food. The small restaurant is packed with customers.
Delicious dashimaki with mentaiko (cod roe) as a side dish.
The handle at the entrance of the restaurant is cute.
700 yen for appetizers
Hankyu Brewery Festival㉙
Koikawa is known for its heated sake.
As one would expect, they let us drink it warmed up, even though it was just a tasting 😊.
The sake we tasted was
Junmai Ginjo Kamejikohi
Junmai Daiginjo Beppin Snow Goddess
Junmai Daiginjo Gokozen
I think it was...
I've had Kamejiyohi a few times in the past when out for drinks, but this is definitely more of a warmed sake than a cold sake. The tasting was lukewarm, but the taste was warm and gentle.
I think that's the end of the brewery festival.
I may not remember or may not have taken any pictures.
After this, I forced Nemuchi to take me to the sake department in the basement, and we went to the basement of Hanshin as well, but we didn't find anything special, so we left.
-Postscript
I always thought I was drinking something after Koikawa, but according to Nemuchi's post, I think I was drinking Karahashi and Eikawa😅.
I don't have any other pictures, but it looks like they are drinking Nada Kiku too 🙄.
So I guess there are 32 breweries in total?
I have a faint memory of drinking it but I don't have a picture so I won't post it 🤣.
Hello bouken ☀☀☀☀!
Good job on completing the Kuramoto Festival post 😊👍29 Kura 😳‼️ you are awesome at drinking and writing ✨and forcing yourself to go around the Depa basement 🤣I wish I could have seen you and Nemuchi getting drunk and going around 🤣.
Good evening, bouken-san.
I was looking at ⁉️ to see how many breweries you visited at the brewery festival. 29 breweries is really great! And the reviews are great too✨
I would love to try the nigori from this brewery 😊.
Mr. Bouken.
Good evening.
Koikawa is a brand I often drink at the izakaya I go to, and I have only seen it at this izakaya. It is delicious when heated, and like bouken-san, I love it perfectly for winter warmed sake.
This is the fourth cup of sake at Kurerokutsu in Himeji.
The last one, by all means, should be heated! I don't often drink heated sake, but the taste changes with the temperature.
I don't drink heated sake very often, but I found that the taste changes with the temperature, and this is a very deep and enjoyable way to drink sake.
I would like to enjoy heated sake in the future.
