This year's summer sake
Last year it was quite punchy, but this year it is honestly fresh and delicious.
Add ice and sip it with a sip.
18 degrees Celsius.
The sixth brewery in the Hankyu Brewery Festival 2023.
Kamo Itsuha" at Tago Honke Sake Brewery, Okayama Prefecture
Since I was going around with the legendary bouken-san from this point on, I was very excited and went to the booth of a brewery I was not familiar with.
This brewery was revived with the support of a company under the Civil Rehabilitation Law after going out of business in 2020.
At any rate, I tried to grab the brewer to talk about "Tsuyama Beer," which I had researched beforehand, and he gave me a pamphlet about Tsuyama Beer, saying that he had not brought it with him today.
So he did bring the pamphlet with him 😁.
And sake.
Kamo Goyo Junmai Ginjo 🔴.
Kamo Goyo Junmai Omachi
Kamo Goyo Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjyo
Kamo Goyo Daiginjo Doubonai
Both "Kamo Goba Junmai Omachi" and "Kamo Goba Junmai Ginjo" were a little dry, not sweet, but the umami flavor made it not so bothersome.
The "Kamo Goba Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjyo" is my favorite because of its rich, fruity, full flavor.
I also got carried away and had the most expensive one, but there is no reason why it shouldn't be good at over 5,000 yen.
The label is simple and clean.
Hankyu Brewery Festival (2)
I knew the name of the brewery from its civil rehabilitation a few years ago, but I didn't know the brand name Kamo Goyo.
Naturally, I have never had it.
According to Nemuchi-san's information, Tsuyama Beer is famous.
There are many breweries that brew local beer, aren't there?
The beers we tasted were
Kamo Goyo Junmai Omachi
Kamo Goyo Junmai Ginjo
Kamo Goyo Junmai Ginjyo Nama Sake
Kamo Gobo Daiginjo Dojibon-i
Daiginjo To-bin-oi has a graceful, gorgeous, and sweet taste, and I realized that this class of sake is delicious.
The junmai ginjo nama sake was good, but it was expensive, so I wanted something more affordable, so I bought a junmai omachi.
Three cold and four warm days. It is cold today, and an unseasonal hot pot is dinner. I paired it with a local paper cup from Tsuyama, where I made a one-day business trip. It is gentle to the taste, light and refreshing. No bitterness or other unpleasant tastes. It is a normal sake, but it is good.
It's been 8 years since I last drank it, 15 years since I last drank it, despite saying that it was my "favorite brand". I had never had Junmai sake before, so I thought I'd give it a try. ...... I had Junmai Omachi the last time.
It is made from Nipponbare produced in Okayama prefecture. It is a food rice that swept Japan until the appearance of Koshihikari, and is often used as sake rice as well.
It is a dry sake with a hint of cemedine and a hint of sweetness. A dark sake with a slight taste of cemedine.
Kamo Goyo Special Junmai Omachi
May 20, 2022
Kanro candy, salty aroma and taste, with a mild sweetness. It is too chilled, so bring it back to room temperature. At room temperature, the acidity is assertive. The aftertaste and lingering umami are long, perhaps due to the power of the Omachi rice. Sake quality suitable for warming up.
Limited quantity summer sake.
In a way, it has a beautiful structure that is not like Kamo Goyo.
This is definitely a summer sake.
I was shocked to find out that all of my Itsuha points for mail order had been forcibly terminated.
