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 🤗.
