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.

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!

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!
