Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 2025①.
Suzu Masamune, Biwa no Chouju, ALL SHIGA booth.
Arriving at the station nearest to the Biwako Hotel where the event was held, I had some time to kill so I went to a ramen restaurant produced by Minoru Sano, who is known as the devil of ingredients in the ramen industry, to get some food for my stomach.
I was able to order without waiting in line, and arrived at the venue just in time.
There was a long line to get in, and we didn't get in until 10 minutes later.
The first thing I headed straight for was Suzu Masamune, which I had been aiming for.
I was approached by the liquor store that BOUKEN-san patronizes and greeted him.
◉ Suzu Masamune Junmai Ginjo
The sake has a strong umami with a hint of gas. It is a 3-year aged sake with a fruity richness.
It's really good!
It seems that it is not available for purchase since they are not making it anymore.
After the event, I visited a liquor store in Kusatsu and told them I went to a Shiga sake event in Otsu, and the owner of the store was there too.
According to the information from the liquor store, a liquor store that had Suzu Masamune in stock had given it to him for the event. He said that the sake was well preserved and had been aged for about 5 years.

Good evening, Pon-chan. 🌜️ The Shiga sake event was a great success 😆 I was happy to be able to drink Suzumasamune, which was my goal, but I had too little time to go around at all 😓I really hope Suzumasamune will be revived 🙏.
