Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - Shikoku's Sake and Food Spectacle - 8
Shirokawago at last year's Ogimachi Park event!
When I showed him a picture of the daiginjo I had, he was surprised that it was a rare sake 😳.
Ehime is quite deep in the mountains and there seems to be no public transportation.
Ichisan Sake Shop seems to carry it too!
We drank
Over the ridge Special Junmai
Yamadanishiki, Shizuku Ehime, Ehime Ikume 71, Sake degree +1
Polishing ratio: 50% for koji rice, 58% for kake rice
I was looking forward to it because I heard it was delicious beforehand.
The sweetness and umami are both well expressed.
In a good sense, the impression of this sake is different from the image on the label.
Junmai Daiginjo
Shizuku Ehime Sake degree -2, Rice polishing ratio 40
Gorgeous and just the right amount of sweetness and umami.
Daiginjo
Yamadanishiki Sake meter value +2, rice polishing ratio 40
Gorgeous, yet spicy and refreshing
Ginjo
Yamadanishiki Sake meter value +2 Polishing ratio 50%.
Sake is refreshing, but not too sweet.
Junmai Ginjyo Sakurahime
Shizuku Ehime Sake meter value +3
According to the brewer's description, it's not as dry as it looks on the label, but it tastes more gentle than it is dry. 13.6%, low alcohol content?
Overall, they are sweet and all of them are delicious.
I'd like to try it at home.
Only Junmai-haraju (pure sake) is available at the brewery, but it seems they rarely serve it.
I got the impression that it is a family-run, homey brewery 🤗.

The booth of "Jogawago" in Ehime.
It seems to be a small family-run brewery, and they said they are having a hard time. The whole family was at the event again, and they all looked very much alike.
◉Crossing the ridge
The sake was +1, but it had a strong sweetness and umami, with a caramel sauce feel. It smelled like caramel popcorn. Yamadanishiki, Shizuku Ehime, Ehime Ikume 71. 15.3% alcohol by volume.
◉Jojogawago Junmai Daiginjo
The mouthfeel is clear and smooth. It has a sweet umami flavor that is not too floral, and is also delicious. Shizuku Ehime. Alcohol 15.7%, Sake level -2.
◉Jokogawa-go Ginjo-shu
A clear, crisp sake with a strong bitter aftertaste. Yamadanishiki. 15.5% alc. Alcohol 15.5%, Sake meter value +2.
Jogawago Daiginjo
Another clear and refreshing sake. A little dry, a little bitter. Yamada Nishiki. Alcohol 15.8%, Sake meter +2.
Shizuku Ehime
A little low at 13.6% alc. Shizuku Ehime. Sake meter value +3.
Only junmai sake is available on draft anytime I visit the brewery.
The sake from this brewery was also good.

It is very soft and has a strong sweetness.
It has a dry taste and can be heated up to a fairly hot temperature.
The weak point is that it seems to be hard to buy as it is made by a very small sake brewery!
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Husband, souvenir from Ehime touring.
I'm not familiar with Ehime's sake, so he bought me a recommendation from the liquor store 😊.
Bingo 👌
Fruity aroma and soft mouthfeel.
The aftertaste is refreshingly smooth.
3 days after opening the bottle, the taste is more and more delicious!
It's mellowed out.
Rice: Shizuku Ehime
Rice polishing ratio: 50%.
Alcohol content: 15%.
Sake degree: -3
Acidity: 1.3
Sake no Sumida ni 1,870 yen/720ml
Soft! That was my first impression.
It has a sour taste, and although it is said to have 17% alcohol by volume, I didn't feel the alcohol content that much!
It was ◎fruity and sweet, but I preferred it with local sashimi.
I was told that this is a beautiful sake from Oku-Iyo, brewed by a small brewery that produces only a very small amount of sake, and by a family only.
