[Fukui Spring New Sake Festival (6)
Next, visitors can enjoy a glass of sake from their own local brewery.
Hanashoku Junmai Daiginjo Betsuatsurae
The aroma is like grapes with a hint of sourness, the mouthfeel is clean and sweet with a pleasant aftertaste, and there is a lingering bitterness in the back of the throat.
I bought some salted sea urchin, which is a perfect match for sake, but is usually hard to find.
The taste was so agonizing that it made me want to drink more sake.
I think if I recommend [salted sea urchin] to people outside of the prefecture, they will be puzzled how to eat it 🤔.
It is recommended to be warmed up from room temperature, so I warmed it up a little and drank it.
It was easy to drink, with a strong sense of umami and a quick kick.
Overall, it has a soft flavor that goes well with cold winter meals.
Sake in Sabae, Fukui Prefecture.
Sabae, the city of glasses. I lived there for about three years.
The name "Kashon" was taken from the flickering flame of a candle at a wedding celebration. It was named in honor of the Emperor Taisho's marriage.
First of all, it has a strong sweetness that is honestly rice-like, and when you poke at this sweetness with your tongue, a pungent taste emerges. There is also a slight hineyoshi aroma and a slightly astringent and hard taste like sake lees. It tastes like a country sake (I like that kind of sake) that has been drunk for hundreds of years.
How about if you heat it up?
The taste loosens up a lot, and the sweetness and spiciness swell up at the same time. The hineyoshi and the hardness of the sake lees are softened, and the strong sweetness does not hit you, but becomes a whole with the spiciness. It becomes softer and much easier to drink. It is not too tiring to drink, and can be easily matched with anything.
It can be used for any occasion, from an everyday evening drink to a sake to be shared with others at a candlelit banquet.
The same brewery also has a brand of sake called "Echizen Kokufu," which is located in Echizen City (formerly Takefu City), a town next to Sabae, where Murasaki Shikibu lived for about a year away from Kyoto. Coincidentally, Murasaki Shikibu is the main character in next year's Taiga "To the Luminous Kimi. I wonder if the events in Echizen-kokubu will also be depicted in the film.
This Monday I celebrated my birthday, the following Tuesday I entered my second year of Sakewa, and this time I finally reached 100 check-ins🎉.
Since I had to work from early morning until late at night on Tuesday, I finally settled down on Wednesday night and decided to quietly open a triple celebration sake 🍶 with this one I chose.
It's from Fukui, but even more locally, from the Yutaka Shuzo brewery near Takefu: "Hwasoku Junmai Daiginjo Kura-Hisouzakusyu 40"!
A bottle brewed with sake rice grown and brewed with water from the Hino River that flows through the land where I was born and raised!
Smooth mouthfeel, smooth taste, melon-like aroma on the nose, and a pleasant aftertaste.
The brewery's concept of "food sake" itself, the image of a sake that accompanies a meal without interfering with it.
The ara sashimi we ate with the entrée expanded the umami, and the salmon sashimi cleared up the fat.
The word "kasoku" means a candle or candlestick that is lit at weddings and other celebratory events, and was named after Emperor Taisho on his wedding day.
It was also a good sake to look at myself once again, as I will be Just, not Around my age, but Over next year✨.
I think my goal for the second year is to be around the point of winning the national championship 😁.
The 4th picture is the birthday cake that my wife and daughter picked out for me 🎂.

Congratulations!
Triples are hard to come by, aren't they?
Kiri number with local sake is wonderful!
Hi 😃 Happy Birthday to you, 100 check-ins and Happy 2nd Anniversary of Sakewa ㊗️🎉
It's a local sake 😁 Sabae is famous for Bon 😁.
Is the soy sauce for sashimi from Aikiya? I buy it every time I go back home.
Thank you, Jay & Nobby 😊.
We thought about all kinds of sake we liked and wanted to try, but since this was our first Kiri number, we decided to take a cue from your love of your hometown and pick the sake closest to ours ✨.
Thank you, Kyuzo 😊.
There are more than 20 sake breweries in the prefecture, both large and small, and some of them I have never tried yet 🍶Okinawa and Kyushu are the hardest to conquer in the whole country 😅.
Thank you so much, Pon 😁.
Thanks to Sake no Wawa, I've met a lot of different sakes and people in the past year ✨.
I will continue to enjoy the sake life 😆.
Thank you very much, Maecin 😊.
I was wondering why I wanted to greet you, but seeing your warm response, I think it was the right choice to choose "Hana Candle" ☺.
I will study the sake of Ishikawa, right next door to you 😁.
Thank you very much, Manachie 😊.
There are still some prefectures that I haven't drank yet and there are still some sakes that I would like to try that I learned about through Sake no Wa so I will continue to drink 😁.
Thank you Aladdin ✨
It's my birthday so I was excited about the entree 😁It was my 2 year old daughter who finally chose the cake, but why she chose Mont Blanc is a mystery to me☺ I don't really picture myself eating it.
Thank you, bouken 😊.
It's a very minor sake even in Fukui and hardly found in restaurants, but I like it a lot ✨.
I didn't expect to see it for the first time bouken😲.
Thank you very much, Noodle Sake King 😊.
Actually, my friend recommended sakegawa to me as a birthday gift last year, so my birthday and anniversary are almost the same time 🤓.
I'll be sure to introduce you to the sake I'd like you to try ✨.
Thank you Tomoyuki Kumagai 😊.
I was only counting check-ins at the beginning of this month, but I got into it without any adjustments ✨.
I was looking for an opportunity to introduce it somewhere since it's a pretty minor sake 😄.
Mr. Jaive.
Good morning 🎉.
Happy 💯check-in 🎉and happy birthday 🎉Good local drink for a double celebration👍I've never heard of this brand before and would like to try it!
Hello, Jive-san. Sorry for the delay, but congratulations on your birthday, 1st anniversary of sakewa, and 100 check-ins. I wish you a healthy year and many more delicious drinks✨.
Gyve, I know I'm late, but...happy 100th check-in, birthday and 1st anniversary of Sake-no-wa 🎉🎊The Candle's secret sake and the entrée look delicious 😋Continue drinking delicious sake as you aim for national domination 😊.
Hi Jive 🤗Congrats on your birthday & Sakewa's 1st anniversary & 100 check-ins ㊗️🎊🎉 I love the birthday cake your wife and daughter chose 🥰 "Candles"...now that's a brand I want to meet: ☺️
Jive, Happy Birthday 🎂 & Happy 1st Anniversary & 100 check-ins for Sakewa 🎊㊗️🎉!
It's awesome to have a triple ✨.
Delicious sake, sashimi, and cake from your wife and daughter made for a happy day ☺️
Thank you, Nemuchi 😊.
I'm going to try to conquer the whole country while collecting information on the remaining prefectures since there seems to be no stores near me where I can buy drinks 😁.
Thank you, Mashira no Yamasan 😊.
My daughter was so happy that she begged for her favorite cake 😁.
I hope you will be able to find the "candles" as they are quite rare ✨.
Thank you, Sieg Jikon 😊.
I thought it was going to be triple covered around the end of last month, but I didn't think it would fit so perfectly 😁.
Thanks for the day to day help and your wife picked a good place for me too 😋.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
Very late, but congratulations on your birthday & Sakewa's 1st anniversary & 100 check-ins ㊗️🎊🎉🎂🎁🍾.
Very nice to celebrate with a local brand of congratulations 🤗.
Thank you Mayuko 😊.
I'd like to enjoy my drinking life without putting too much strain on my body now that I've reached a certain age 😁.
I felt like my child has grown up because she chose the cake after much thought 😆.
Thank you very much, Haruei Chichi 😊.
There were other good sake in the cellar, but I was actually looking for a reason to buy some for New Year's and open them soon 😁.
I hope this is a small introduction to some local sake 😆.
Hi Gyve, Hello ☀☀☀☀!
Congratulations on your belated triple celebration!!!! 🎂🍶/💯.
A bottle of sake from the place where you were born and raised, and a bottle of "Hana Candle" is a perfect one for the celebration ✨The sake cup is also cool and nice 🎐.
Thank you very much, Aaru Sake 😊.
I put the sake in my favorite saké sake cup made of sakétani stone 😁.
During this hot season, you can also put ice inside to control the temperature, so it kills two birds with one stone ✨.
Thank you very much, sake-run 😊.
It is a very minor sake in Fukui, and there are only a few stores that carry it, but I like it a lot 😁If you happen to see it at a tasting event in the city, please do ✨.
Jive, Happy Birthday 🎂 and Happy 1st Anniversary & 100 check-ins ✨Congratulations on your 1st Anniversary & 100 check-ins ✨㊗️🎉🎊The name of the drink you chose for this happy occasion is "Hana Candle" which is perfect 😆✨The cake your daughter picked for you looks delicious 🥰.
Thank you very much, Tsubu-chan 😊.
This is the first time for me to choose a number, so I was worried about what to choose 😁I'm just happy that my daughter chose this one 😆.
The booth of Yutaka Sake Brewery "Hana Shokudo" in Fukui Prefecture.
I had never seen this brand before, but the brewing process had changed, and I was allowed to try some of the few remaining limited editions that were not on the list 😋.
Again, the brewery's staff was very helpful and friendly, and they told us what we should drink.
Sparkling Methode Rurale" "ANOTHER-KURO-Nama
ANOTHER-SHIRO-Nama
"Hanasoku Limited Edition Ginsei" 🔴.
The "Hanashoku Limited Edition Ginsei" has a rich fruity flavor, and the "ANOTHER-KURO-SHIRO-SHIRO" has a unique aroma. ANOTHER-SHIRO-Nama" has a very sweet aroma and tastes like pineapple.
It has a strong taste with the flavor and richness of rice.
It washes away greasy food without losing its flavor.
It is interesting to see how it softens and changes its expression when heated slightly.
