Ichinomiya & Local Sake Tour No. 31
This year we visited Shimogamo-san on a snowy day🚗³
Yamashiro-no-kuni Ichinomiya Kamo-miso-jinja Shrine
It is located on the north side of the Kamo River delta and is famous for its Tadasunomori forest - it was snowing that day so I was only able to walk about half of the way 🫣 but the Tadasunomori forest with snow was beautiful too ❄️
I stopped by Osaki Shoten and bought something I had never seen before: ✌️
I learned after I bought it that Saito Shuzo, the brewer of Eikun, sells this sake specially at Osaki Shoten!
It has the same gorgeous aroma as Eikun, but it was not super dry with a lot of umami...!
It was neither fruity nor oome, but gently sweet and firm. Close to honey? It's not like honey 🍯.
I also felt some dryness in the second half but not that strong, which changed my impression of Eikun a lot!
It was delicious 😋 Thanks for the treat 🎶.
