A stand-up, dohang! This one has a coffee-like aroma and a sticky sweetness. A bit like sashimi soy sauce? But it is good that it does not have a persistent feeling.
Special Junmai Sake Arcadia⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 60%, ALC 15%.
We had it in the sealed bottle.
It is a sake that feels sharp and dry on the palate.
There was a label on the top of the bottle that said [supervised by Leiji Matsumoto], wasn't there?
I searched for the label and found that it was a collaboration between "Arcadia of Warring States," which was published when Leiji Matsumoto was 80 years old, and sake breweries in 47 prefectures in Japan, and the selected representative generals and military commanders of each prefecture were represented by Leiji Matsumoto's character on the label and sold as a sake.
So I guess this means that other prefectures also have sake with [character labels supervised by Leiji Matsumoto]...! 🥰
Chigasaki Nari: 20251101
I bought it because Nemuchi and Ikoma Sake Shop raved about it 😁.
I've been drinking Chiyoda Kura, but this is my first time to try Shiga Doukan.
Icoma doesn't usually carry Shiga Doukan, but a sales person from Chiyoda Kura saw the rave reviews on SNS and contacted them to let them know that they could get it!
It has a rich flavor. The sweetness is also strong, but not too sweet and not too spicy.
Personally, I have an image of Tamaei as dry, but this is different!
My mother, who drank it, immediately said it was delicious!
The taste was beyond my imagination.
It tastes a little bit like a light aged sake when the temperature goes up.
KOAKUHODOJI Junmai Nama-no-Nama Sake TAMAEI
Dry, slightly weak aroma (flower), slightly weak attack, crisp, sharp, slightly lacking in depth, short umami aftertaste, light bitterness and acidity, simple, not enough for a pure sake, not enough explanation, mellow sake, but as close to a fresh sake as possible
Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 202515
Ota Sake Brewery and Doukan booth.
BOU sake shop owner who greeted us right after the opening said it was delicious, so we didn't forget to sample it.
◉Doukan Tokubetsu Junmai Nama Hashiwazukuri
The standard flavor is here. The sake has a clean acidity and umami flavor.
This is the first sake made this year using the kamishige method. The rice was hard to come by, so Miyamanishiki from Nagano Prefecture was used.
◉Doukan Tokubetsu Junmai Jusui Shizukomi Nama-nazake
Clear, rich sweetness and concentrated flavor. It is quite my favorite and extremely tasty.
This is the second year of production, and the first was a popular product that sold out immediately. The brewer who took care of it was in a hurry to get it back to the head office because it was sold out. I wish I could have bought it.
◉Special Junmai Nama-nazake Shiga Watabune No. 6
The sake is very umami, authentic, and delicious. The harmony of umami and sharpness.
The production is said to be higher than that of the Chiyoda brewery.
As expected from a certain izakaya, there were many delicious sakes.
bouken, Hi 😃Chiyoda Kura is sold only to sake dealers and distributors and the production is small 🤔Doukan seems to have a better sales channel, but you don't see many of them even in Kansai 😅.

The 4th one
Rich and dry
The richness is strong.
and dry? I feel that it is dry.
Yes, I think I am the type of person who can handle funa-jushi.
It tastes sweeter and spicier than the Junmai I drank the other day. The ginjo aroma is not so strong. The Junmai was easier to drink and I might have liked it better. I hope to drink it next time.
4.0
This sake has a sharp taste and a robust flavor, as is typical of nama sake. It is dry, but the sweetness of the rice can also be felt and is well-balanced.
