The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival⑯.
Yaegaki's booth.
I didn't know much about this brewery in Himeji, but it seems to be a big company that has sake factories overseas and also makes vodka and other products. In Japan, half of the sake is sold locally, 25% is exported, and the rest is made in regional areas.
The brewery staff was very helpful, but I wonder if he was a big guy...

The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival (5)
Yaegaki, which I was going to pass up because I personally am not into it, but Nemuchi told me to try it, so I decided to drink it.
Well, Yaegaki doesn't come to many events.
Ritsu Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake
I asked if this was the first time I've seen Ritsu's nama-shu, and he said it's released every year 😅. I asked him if this was the first time.
Fresh and juicy!
Maybe the best Yaegaki I've ever had 😋.
Special Junmai Yamadanishiki Nama Sake
I've been wondering about this one since I often see it at Yamaya, but it costs about 2200 yen, so I've been on the fence about it for a while.
Looks good with food. It has quite a bit of umami.
I think I can buy it if it tastes like this.
Junmai Ginjo
I thought it was somewhat classic and quite full-bodied
All the ones I drank this time were good 😁.
I bought a bottle of Ritsu nigori nama sake last year, but it looks like it will be in a pressure-resistant bottle this year. Will it be in the same bottle as Ritsu Sparkling?

#Sake
This sake was given to me by a friend because it is reasonably priced and delicious. It has a mild aroma and a delicious taste of rice. When drunk chilled, it has a strong sweetness, and when heated, you can taste the umami of the rice. It can be enjoyed with a variety of meals.
Yamadanishiki is used for the koji rice and Gohyakumangoku for the premium rice. It has a soft texture and a subtle fruity flavor that is typical of Junmai Daiginjo.
