National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka
Ibaraki Prefecture Booth ⑥
Takemura Sake Brewery is a long-established brewery with a history of about 250 years in Joso City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
◉Kyo no Yume Junmai Ginjo
Sake rice is Gohyakumangoku. The aroma is slightly floral. The aroma is a bit floral, with a clean, refreshing quality typical of Gohyakumangoku, but there is also a fruity quality to it. This one is made with local rice and is made with Ibaraki Prefecture in mind.
◉Kyo no Yume Daiginjo
The rice used for this sake is Yamada-Nishiki. The sweetness is followed by bitterness. The sweetness is also full-bodied. A bit of complexity.
I wondered if the person who served me was a family member of the brewer. When I asked why Kyo-no-Yume was named after Ibaraki Prefecture, they told me that there was a book written by Junichiro Tanizaki and that his grandfather was a drinking buddy of Tanizaki Junichiro, and when they were thinking of a name for the sake, he told them to use it. He said his grandfather was a drinking friend of Tanizaki Junichiro, and when he was thinking of a name for his sake, he told him to use it and named the brewery after him.
It seems that Daimaru sometimes carries it.
