Osaka Prefecture. Takatsuki City. Kotobuki Sake Brewery Co.
Kuninochou, frog label, toji no ichi-hoshishi-shu, junmai-ginjo, nama-genshu.
The Tonda area of Takatsuki in Osaka developed as a temple town from the Muromachi period (1333-1573), and in the early Edo period (1603-1868), the Tomita area flourished greatly in the sake brewing industry, taking advantage of its topography blessed with high-quality underground water.
At its peak, there were as many as 24 sake breweries in the area, and the name "Tondasake" (meaning "Tonda sake") was known all the way to Edo (now Tokyo). Along with Ikeda and Itami, Tomita was known as one of the "Three Best Sake Brewing Towns in Hokusetsu".
ChatGPT told me 😊.
The breweries that exist now are Kiyotsuru, Kuninochou, and Adachi Nojo.
I'll have it cold.
The color is clear and almost colorless.
The top aroma is mild and slightly citrusy.
The mouthfeel is fresh, yet pleasantly soft.
The fruity taste is moderate, with just a hint of citrus acidity. There is a neat umami richness that is not unpleasant.
There is a slight nuttiness in the richness, and a fullness to the palate.
I thought it was even better than when I drank it before 😋.

Kuninicho, a long time local Osaka sake
Expo 🌍 starts tomorrow and there are a lot of opinions flying around, but personally, I really want to go!
I drank it while indulging in such thoughts!
Cold sake
Slightly floral aroma of white peaches
A sense of gas lingering on the tongue
Moderately astringent taste from the mid-palate
Crisp and sharp aftertaste.
The flavor was lively and powerful, as only Osaka sake can be.
Visited the sake brewery in Tomita in person to purchase.
The price was about 1,300 yen for a four-pack.
I have been working in Takatsuki for quite a while now, but I recently learned that there is a local sake brewery in the area.
Since it was a chance encounter, I was grateful to drink it.
My first impression was dry, but the richness came later.
It is quite tasty.
Alcohol content: 15

At an izakaya near Nagoya on a trip.
The aroma is reminiscent of old sake.
The taste is sweet with a hint of Shaoxing sake, and although it was served cold, it is better served warm.
It tastes great, despite the cute label! The first sip is refreshing.
The first sip is refreshing, followed by umami and fruity flavors. Slight sweetness. I want to drink it again.

Long time Osaka sake.
Fruity on the palate.
At first it tastes good.
The second and third sips made it feel dry.
It was even better than I had imagined.
It doesn't say, but it looks like raw sake.
It doesn't say, but the rice is Gohyakumangoku and Yamadanishiki.
I didn't immediately notice the perforated stopper💦.
No fizz, but it's fresh and has a strong acidity.
It's sour, like a pickled plum.
No pungency at all.
Kuninouchou seems to have appointed a French toji.
There is not much information available, so I looked it up, and it seems that the long-time master brewer has left the brewery to live in the Kanto area due to family reasons, and is now teaching remotely as an advisor.
I was curious about the aggressive price tag of about 2,400 yen.
