Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO10
A sales person who visited Icoma Sake Shop last year was there.
We drank
Josen Honjozo
I already drink it at home, but they said it can also be heated, so we compared cold and heated sake!
At home I drink it at room temperature, but it doesn't change much at any temperature, so I guess it's versatile?
Matsu no Hana Junmai Sake
Classic but easy to drink
Shiboritate Honjozo Nama Sake
I drank this at home a while ago and compared cold sake and heated sake. Surprisingly, the heated sake tasted better!
Honjozo Nama-no-Harazake
This one was quite robust, but had a delicious flavor.
Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake
I've bought and drank this in the past, but I tasted this one too.
I was not as impressed with this one as some of the others I drank this time.
Junmai Nama-nihonjyu Shiboritate Light Nigori
I forgot to take a picture💦The label has changed, but it looks like I've had this one in the past. A little spicy?
Matsu no Hana Junmai Ginjo
Well, it tasted a little off-flavored and the taste was subtle...
Matsunohana Daiginjo Fujiki
Forgot to take a picture💦.
Yamadanishiki with a 40% polished rice ratio.
The taste is a little different from the others, probably because the rice is different.
Tamakae is not suitable for high milling because it tends to crack when polished, so it seems to be Yamada-Nishiki.
The salesman was very interesting and unique.
