Even though I live in the Kansai region, I rarely see this sake. The brewery had been outsourcing brewing to other companies since the toji retired, but resumed in-house brewing a few years ago. This was the only sake I purchased at the Japanese Sake Festival. The aroma is a bit vanilla-like on the nose. It has a fresh, raw sake-like flavor, with a refreshing sweetness that is instantly followed by bitterness and spiciness. Maybe it is the alcohol content, but the alcohol taste is a little strong. I feel like it gets more and more alcoholic day by day...

Type: junmai ginjo, rice: Yamada Nishiki, polishing rate: 50%, yeast: No. 1901, alc.: 17% Aroma is fruity and classic for ginjo. with notes of pear and white flowers. Flavor is juicy with decent sweetness, mouth-filling umami and bitterness of alcohol. The bitterness lingers for a while. It is rather rich.

Sake found during GW return trip It's so good that I can't believe it's ranked 30th in Nara Prefecture! I googled it and found out that it has been re-established for about 5 years. I thought that if only it would become more well-known, it would easily rank in the top 5 in Nara Prefecture!

Booth of "Joy Hikari" by Sawada Shuzo, Nara Prefecture. This was my second visit. Last time I was not impressed because I drank it very late in the game, but this time it was perfect👍. The "Kankikou Junmai Ginjo Hatsuhonoka" 🔴 and the "Kankikou Junmai Kurabai" 🔴. Kankikou Junmai Kurahara Sake Joy Hikari Junmai Ginjo Little Joy" 🔴 "Joy Hikari Junmai Ginjo Tiny Joy Yuukyu no Hikari Junmai" 🔴 "Kikkou Junmai Ginjyo Tiny Joy The Hatsuhonoka had umami and richness, and I was deeply impressed by how delicious it was. The "Little Joy" also had a strong sweetness and umami flavor. The price is a bit high at 2,750 yen 😅. Kohjikko is also a revived brewery and has been brewing in-house for about 5 years now.

The booth of Joy Hikari in Nara, Japan. I didn't know about Kankikou even though I live in the Kansai area. Kankikou Junmai Ginjyo "Little Joy" (🔴) Junmai Ginjo "Hatsuhonoka The "Little Joy" sake won the Kura Master 2021 Platinum Award, and the "Hatsuhonoka" is made from dewy leaf wind. When I said it has a high alcohol content, I think he said he was sticking to the original sake. The sake level was mostly negative, but I don't think it was very sweet.

I won a prize for sake, and this is what I received. I'm very sorry, but I didn't know about it. When I searched on the Internet, there are almost no reviews by you.... Then I'll try as much as I can. First of all, it is basic information, but It's made by Sawada Shuzo in Kashiba City, Nara Prefecture. The rice polishing ratio is 50%, and both the rice for the sake and the rice for the malted rice are 100% Yamada Nishiki. The alcohol content is as high as 17 degrees, and the most important thing I want to introduce is that it's made with Won the highest gold medal in the premium junmai category of the "Delicious Japanese Sake in a Glass Award 2021". This sake won the Gold Medal in the Junmai Ginjo Sake category of the International Wine Challenge. Therefore, you can be sure of its taste. If you drink it by itself, you can feel the alcohol strongly, but if you drink it with a meal or when the temperature rises a little at room temperature, the sweetness and aroma increase and it is delicious. I'm not a big drinker, so I tend to choose low-alcohol drinks, and I think I've always hated drinking them. Having this opportunity, I'm sure I'll be able to enjoy more in the future.
