HYOGO SAKE EXPO 202321
Okada Honke "Morinori", Kakogawa City, Hyogo Prefecture
Founded in 1874.
The company uses 100% Hyogo rice and water from the Kakogawa River.
Okada Honke did not have a booth for a single product at Morinori, but had a booth where about six breweries gathered to taste and sell their products as a ring series.
Morinori Tamaki Junmai Ginjo Nama Hashiroshi
It has a light acidity and a spicy flavor. It has a light acidity and a dry, umami flavor with a hint of honey.
I had had a Morinori's Namo Hashiro before and it gave me the impression of white wine, but I think it was the same 🤔.

Okada Honke.
They did not open a booth as a brewery, but only had a booth in the "Ring" series. A little disappointing...
The "ring" series is an SDGs sake. (Please Google for details).
It is a project by a farmer, a sake brewery, and the Kobe Shimbun, and is sold by Fukuju, Fukyu-Nishiki, Banshu-Ichiken, Shirasagi-no Shiro, Morinori, and Ozeki.
I remember that all of the "Ring" series were delicious.
I thought it tasted modern or a little different from each brewery's regular products.
drink cold
Clear and colorless
Sweet aroma similar to that of fruits.
In the mouth, there is a sweet and sour taste, but it quickly disappears.
There is a slight tingling dryness in the aftertaste, but this also disappears quickly, so the aftertaste is quite short.
When served with snacks, you will not feel any acidity, only a strong sweetness, but it is not persistent and refreshes the palate.

I wanted to change restaurants and go for something a little sweeter, so I chose the light nigori Morinori.
It would have been great if the sweetness was a little more refreshing.
I was too reserved to take a picture of the jacket. I had never seen this sake before.
It is a tangy, refreshing and spicy sake.
It can be drunk on its own. I was not so impressed when I paired it with the stewed chicken meat. Osaka people seem to like dry sake.
5 Max!
Gorgeous aroma and soft rice sweetness.
Fruity and really soft, the slight carbonation is pleasant and really tasty.
Although it is a summer sake, it is very easy to drink because it has a strong sweetness and yet the aftertaste is refreshing.
I really like the taste! A refreshing and easy-to-drink dessert sake!
Tamatsukuri Kunisake
The other day, I tasted Gozo Ittada's Morinori ver. at a nearby standing bar and enjoyed it so much that I took home a different Morinori.
It was a delicious sake with a clean taste and gasiness while retaining the flavor of the original sake yeast.
Tangy and light effervescence.
A firm, dark taste typical of the sake yeast yeast.
It has a sweet taste of rice and is crisp and dry.
This sake may be quite to your liking!
<Morinori Limited Nama-no-Hajime Sake Sweets
Rice polishing ratio: 65
Alcohol content: 12
Due to the low alcohol content, the sake does not have the gusto of a junmai sake, and it is a bit thinner than other sake.
It is more smooth and smooth to drink, and you can drink it at a high pace!
It has a fruity taste, and you can taste the alcohol after you finish it.
Recommended for those who don't like the gusty taste of sake!
Is it Kinshi-Morinori or Morinori?
I don't know the name first of all because it is a product that is not on the brewery's website. Isn't there a lot of sake like that?
This sake is brewed with Yamadanishiki produced by the students of an agricultural high school.
The color is a light yellow, but almost transparent.
The aroma is floral but not overpowering. Apricot, peach, apple, and as the temperature rises, it smells like raw sake with malted rice, etc.
At around 13 degrees Celsius. Although it is a nama-zake, it gives a light impression. The balance between sweetness and acidity is pleasant, and the aftertaste is refreshing and goes down smoothly. The aftertaste is long.
This is delicious. I'm not good with nama-shu, but this one has a good balance. The acidity, which might make it seem chubby, is well balanced to keep it from feeling too heavy. I think it tastes good even at a lower temperature. Will the bitterness come out?
I heated it up for now.
Hmm? It became colorless and clear. Did I warm it up too much? The balance of the flavor is not as bad as I thought it would be, so heating it up is fine, but the flavor is too weak. What is this? If it were lukewarm, it would be fine.
I had underestimated it as a draft sake. This is delicious. This is my first time to try this brewery, but I must drink more.
I think it would be good with potato salad. But it is delicious.
