National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka⑰.
Ibaraki Prefecture booth (7)
The brewery is located in Oarai-cho and the brewer is Mr. Naohiko Sakamoto. The brewer is Mr. Naohiko Sakamoto and the toji is Mr. Tatsuya Ishikawa. He trained at Shinkame Sake Brewery, joined Takekizuru Sake Brewery two years later, and became the toji at Tsuki no I Sake Brewery in 2020. He is a very important man.
Tsukizuki no I Junmai Ginjo
A very well balanced sake, not too assertive, with just the right amount of sourness mixed in with a hint of sweetness. It is a good balance, and would go well with fish dishes.
I found on the Internet that there was a TV drama about a sake brewery called "Nanotsuki," based on a story by Keiko Sakamoto, the wife of the 6th generation brewer, Kazuhiko Sakamoto, who died suddenly and spent the rest of his life brewing sake with organically grown rice.

This will be a comment from an amateur sake lover. My favorite Tsuki no I was in stock at my local liquor store today and I bought it immediately. The aroma is favorable, with just enough oak flavor that it does not interfere with the taste of the sake. Also, the dry taste is as dry as one would expect, but it is also umami and has a clean and refreshing taste. It is a sake with a refreshing aftertaste. It is an excellent match for fish! We are thankful to be able to drink delicious sake again today.

National Sake Fair 2025⑯
Ibaraki Prefecture⑦
Tsukii Sake Brewery in Oarai-machi
I've seen this sake around but I've been avoiding it because of its dry image💦.
So this is my first time to try it😅.
Polishing ratio 50% Yamadanishiki 16 degrees, Ogawa yeast
Sophisticated and clean taste.
Almost no sweetness and not my favorite type of sake, but it's a good sake.
I guess it's supposed to be heated sake.
I thought it was suitable for Japanese food 🤔.

When I arrived in Ibaraki, I didn't even go home to buy some local sake. I couldn't drink because I was driving while watching a tasting event for Father's Day.
I bought a quantity of Tsuki no I summer sake, which I had been curious about.â
The aroma was faint. The mouthfeel is light as if it were water, but the rice flavor, sweetness, and richness come through the transparency!
This is a summer junmai from Tsuki no I. Interesting sake: ‼️

Fully fermented sake made with Dewa Sanzu
13% alcohol by volume for summer
Grain aroma
When you put it in your mouth, the umami flavor spreads, but you don't feel any unpleasant taste.
You can also taste chocolate and coffee.
It's hard to believe that the original sake, which is over 21 degrees Celsius, was watered down to 13 degrees Celsius.
You can really feel the buffering power of what Mr. Ishikawa says.
It's also great warmed up!
It gently sinks into your stomach after a long day of drinking and air-conditioning!
Let's get through the summer with heated sake!

It was a very colored sake. It has a unique taste, but I think it goes especially well with fish dishes.

Tsuki no I Shuzo is a sake brewery in Oarai, a port town overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The fantastic label with the "Torii of Kamiiso" at the Oarai Isomae Shrine near the brewery and the moon floating above the waves is eye-catching.
The bitterness is a little noticeable when drunk cold, but even though it is a junmai ginjo, this sake seems to be at its best when heated. The bitterness rounds out and the umami of the rice is enhanced, giving it a gentle taste. It reminds one of a quiet moonlit night.
The third one is a star-shaped gaku hydrangea that was blooming in the neighborhood. It is said to be a variety called "Sumida no Hanabi.

It's true that sweet sake is not sweet. I like it because of its nourishing flavor.

Oarai no Tsuki no I recommended by the father of my favorite liquor store.
It has an alcohol content of 20 degrees. It has none of the modern sake flavor.
It made me feel that when I started drinking sake about 40 years ago, there were still many sake like this.
By the way, the kataguchi is made by Kyohei Nakagawa and the sake cup is made by the late Shizenbo Nakagawa's father and son.
