SAKE MEETING 2025 Spring" will be held at Toride Station Building.
SAKE MEETING 2025 Spring" at Toride Station Building
18 sake breweries from Ibaraki Prefecture will be participating in the event.
The long-awaited event where you can enjoy new and treasured sake of spring!
I'll only give one review because it's a bit of a hassle.
Fuji Taikan Daiginjo Kasumi Sake
Yamadanishiki 40% polished rice
A must-have sake, a light nigori daiginjo for exhibition!
Fresh, slightly sweet and juicy!
You can feel the deliciousness of the rice with a clean aftertaste, and I was impressed that it is sure to win the Gold Award again this year!
Even though the price is expensive, it is very popular with people lining up to try it!
We also enjoyed rare sake such as Raifuku's Aizan Jun-Dai, aged for more than 10 years, and Matsumori Daigin To-bottle Nama-Nazarashu!
Above all, we enjoyed the happy time when we could meet the brewers who have finished brewing sake!
We gave up on our goal of completing the 18 breweries this year, but we have no regrets!
See you next time!
While on a business trip, I stopped by Morishima Sake Brewery to get a limited edition sake from the brewery!
It started with a grapefruit-like citrus aroma, followed by a robust sake flavor. It was a very well-balanced and high-level sake for a mealtime drink.
It's been a while since I've had sake.
I have been away from sake for a few months because I have recently started to enjoy whiskey.
This time, I bought a bottle of nigori sake from Fuji Taikan to make Matsumae pickles. I will only use a little bit of it, so after that it will be for drinking (lol).
The nigori sake is silky, sweet and easy to drink without any of the spiciness characteristic of sake. The alcohol content is 15%, so be careful not to drink too much!
At my usual favorite restaurant
First cup of Fuji Taikan.
I had a freshly opened bottle! There is something special about having the bottle right after opening 🥰.
The taste is sharp and dry!
Perfect for a meal!
At a restaurant serving Satsuma's local cuisine!
The lady of the restaurant has recently started mountain climbing and since we share the same hobby, we had a lot of fun talking about which mountains are good. ⛰️🥰
We spent a pleasant time drinking and talking about our hobbies!
Ki Light, thin
Sei No (texture of water without thickening or anything like that)
TURN: Sweet, sweetness without impurity, like sweetener
Conclusion: Medium sharp, with sweetness and ginjo aroma, melon-like aftertaste
