The 38th Matsu no Tsukasa sake tasting party
It's been a while, but...
We went to the Matsu-no-Mochi Koshizukai by the Matsu-no-Mochi Koshizukai and the Matsuse Sake Brewery.
The most impressive thing was the Jun Dai Ryuoh Yamadanishiki made in different soils, and we compared sakes made in the same way in four different areas. I wondered if my tongue could tell the difference, but it was completely different! It's important where the rice is grown 😳.
The light flavor of Yamanaka district is my favorite ❣️
My favorite sake at a price I can drink at home is Jungin Mizuki from Summer Sake. Low alcohol, clear taste, sweet and easy to drink.
The other kuzo who came said it tasted more robust than the last one. I would love to drink it at home 😊.
We also had one paid tasting, AZOLLA 35.
Tastes good enough to compare with the 50 ✨.
It was a meaningful time chatting with Kuuzo and his familiar liquor store and learning about water and rice from the brewer 🙏.
Good evening, Pon-chan🌛I'm very interested in Matsu-no-Masa because of the level of sake brewing rooted in the region 🤤I especially want to try AZOLLA 50 🥰It's amazing how the taste changes with the soil 😳.
Good evening, Pon-chan!
I was just talking about how I would like to try Matsu no Tsukasa, so this is a great reference for me: ✍️
Sake is such a delicate drink, the taste changes depending on the soil ✨.
I cherish each and every encounter 🤗.
Hi Pon-chan 😀
I had a glass of Mizuki at home last year, thanks to Kyuzo, and at that time I had the impression that there were fruits hidden in the clean water, so I guess the fruitiness is more solid this year 😇.
Pon.
Good morning!
I would like to enjoy this kind of tasting 🤩! I'd like to enjoy this kind of comparison 🤤I think I'd get tipsy if there are many kinds of tasting 🤣.
Hi Nao888 🐦.
I thought the difference would be so great that I honestly couldn't tell, but the difference was beyond my imagination 😳I don't know if it's better to use different lots or blend if the rice is from different soils 💦... it's very deep.
Hi ma-ki-, 🐦.
If the taste is so different depending on the soil, I had to remember the name of the district of the rice field I like and buy it 😅I guess most of them go well with food 🤔Please enjoy them with your food 😊.
Hi Hiro 🐦.
I was so enthusiastic that I had to be the first to try it because I'm sure it's a subtle difference! I was so enthusiastic about it, but I could tell the difference in the margin 🤣It's really difficult to make alcohol when you think about the soil 💦It's very deep 😌.
Hi Yasbay 🐦.
I think it was delicious even after a lot of drinking, so I think it has a strong fruitiness, sweetness, etc. as you said😊It's interesting to see the difference when you drink it every year! I want to make a lot of those ὂ.
Hi Kojo 🐦.
I like tasting events because you get to try things that you normally can't drink or that are difficult to try 😊👍.
They pour so generously that I've had to ask for just a little bit each time 😆.
This is probably my first sake.
It seems to be 35 percent polished.
Unexpectedly
I can feel the acidity. It is a bit acidic, but I like it because it is tight for a junmai daiginjo. It is tangy and has acidity, which is good for this hot season.

The atmosphere of the label and the specs on the back label look pretty expensive 🤔.
It tastes very beautiful and classy.
Maybe I'm overreacting, but it looks like the kind of sake you'd expect to find at a high-end restaurant like Ishidaya or Nizaemon.
In fact, Matsunoji seems to be served at upscale restaurants in Kyoto.
I asked about the price later and it was a really nice one 😳
On Sunday, I attended "Matsu no Tsukasa KIKIZUKAI in Kusatsu".
The fee is 2000 yen for NO.1 to NO.17
Free tasting A, B and C are available for a fee @ 500 yen.
First week: one week (no paid tasting)
The second week, we went to 2 10 17 that we liked.
NO 10 Junmai Ginjo Mizuki When I drank it in November, it was like water💦.
It tasted like water💦, but today it was completely different with a strong rice flavor🍶.
Third week 9-8-7-6 comparison 🍶.
Local Yamada Nishiki. I was surprised. ‼️
We met Mr. and Mrs. Ponchan on the way and it was a fun day 🍶.
Kusatsu Onsen (hot spring) ♨️🈚️
Hi, Kyuzo 😀
I like the Matsu no Tsukasa's drink comparison party 😀.
I was very impressed with the mizuki you brought all the way before, but this time there is a change in taste 🤣.
When you say Kusatsu, many people mistake it for a hot spring 😅.
Yasubeyesan, Maido 🍶!
Lots of tasting, bubbling, bubbling, fun 🍶 "MIZUKI" last time was 💦 water.
This time I had 3 refills 🍶.
Omi/Kusatsu, we also have a steamed bun without onsen (hot spring)
Thank you for the other day, Kyuzo 😊I enjoyed talking with you...
The mizuki was delicious! I wanted to buy some, but they didn't sell any sake 💦 which is not a good thing since they are having an event with a liquor store😁.

Matsu no Tsukasa Junmai.
Spanish mackerel tataki and mozuku seaweed.
I wonder if Spanish mackerel can still be caught at this time of year.
The fatty Spanish mackerel in winter is good, but the Spanish mackerel out of season is.......,
But, it is not so different. Spanish mackerel is very good.
We have drunk many kinds of Matsu-no-ji, from Raku to Daigin and San-do, but this Junmai is the most suitable for us.
