ゆうちゃん
I bought this when I traveled to Wakasa. The label doesn't match the sake. It's a very solid sake.

An all-Fukui sake made with Fukui's Yamadanishiki and Fukui's yeast!
Delicious on its own - I loved this sake!

After a short break, I was most interested in Wakasa from Fukui Prefecture.
The story of the brewery is dramatic.
The brewery chose the most difficult way to establish Obama Sake Brewery by taking over the business from Wakasa Fuji and getting a new sake brewing license.
Junmai Sake Wakasa
It is made with No. 9 yeast and Gohyakumangoku rice. It is a little nutty and has a full flavor. The flavor is very broad and delicious. Forgot to take a picture💦.
Junmai Ginjo Wakasa
This is made with FK801-C, a multi-acid yeast created by a professor at the Fukui Prefectural Food Processing Research Institute and brewed with a clafan. Sweeter and a little nuttier than Junmai.
Takezoe Dry
It is mild at first, but after that it is sharp and spicy. It goes well with Heshiko.
Hyakuden
It is mild at first, but it is sharp and a little spicy after that. The local natural water is drawn from the local water source.
Until 2020, Mr. Houichi Sakagashira, a famous toji (master brewer) from Noto, came to the brewery, and now it is made without a toji (master brewer) based on his recipe and the temperature progress chart of the unrefined sake. Mr. Sakagashira passed away the year before last.
The sake brewing license is based on the location and the management changed from cousin to cousin, and the company became a new company, and they got the license back. It seems to be a bit of a family feud.

Keihan Department Store Sake Festival 10
The brewery was relocated from Wakasa Fuji to Obama Sake Brewery due to a business succession.
The brewery was also relocated. At that time, they chose the most difficult option of obtaining a new sake brewing license.
Mr. Nemuchi asked the brewer about the background of this process.
Please refer to the article on SAKE TIMES if you are interested in the story.
We drank
Wakasa Junmai Ginjo
Fruity and slightly sweet. When I drank it at home, I didn't like it, but I don't mind it if it's just a tasting.
Hyakudenfu
Not sweet, but refreshing and easy to drink.
Takearashi Shiboritate Nama Sake
I don't like it because of its strong pungency. I don't like the strong spiciness of this type.
The expensive ones such as Onmyoji sake and Daiginjo were not available for tasting...
I enjoyed the talk more than the tasting.

Good evening bouken🍶.
I read the article on SAKETIMES and I see that you can get a new sake brewing license for sake!
But why is the hurdle so high only for sake 🤔?
I wish there was no limit of 60,000 liters.
Japanese>English
まつちよ
I noticed you were over 3200 😅.
Great pace as always 😆.

Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo 😃.
I believe Shikishima and Edo Kaijo were also newly acquired 🤔.
I always think it's unfair that the hurdle is higher than other alcoholic beverages 😥.

No, no, I think it's great that Matsutiyo-san's check-in calendar is almost full💦.

Heh, I didn't know that 🤔
I just try to post every day as much as possible because it gets tedious when the unposts start to pile up 😅.

仕事で福井の端っこ［高浜町］に出張で来ました、ここまで来ると近隣の市町村が福井県内の小浜市より京都府の舞鶴市の方が近いくらいです✨
普段仕事で来ても日帰りなので県内ながら初の［高浜］泊まり、夜は仕事仲間と呑みに出た焼肉屋さん？でビールの後に一献傾けました😁
「わかさ 上撰」
県内ながら初「わかさ」🎉
もう［やかん］で提供される感じが最高😂
常温と熱燗で呑み比べ
［常温］
ふっくらさがあるアル添の香り、呑み口柔らかな口当たりアル添ながらすっと体に入る甘味からキレて、穏やかな余韻
［熱燗］
温めた事でで一気に甘味がましてふくよかな甘味と穏やかで心地よい余韻
地元の「関西」や福井で一番有名な「一本義」より甘味が強いイメージ
県内ながら異国情緒を感じる一献でした🍶

Hi Jive, good evening.
Thanks for your business trip.
Sake served in a kettle is a novelty. ⤴️
I haven't had heated sake recently, so seeing it on Sake-no-Wawa makes me want to drink it for the first time in a while 🍶.

Good evening, Mr. Jaive 😃.
Hey, where's the sake? I was wondering if this kettle was the sake 🍶☺️
I like it, it's great without a trace of pretension 😊.
I've never heard of wakasa before, but I'd love to try it in a kettle 🤤.

Good evening, Mr. Jaiv. I've been to Fukui, but when you get to Takahama, the atmosphere is totally different. I was taken to an aquarium in the past, and it was full of tropical fish such as pirarucu 😅It seems it is a completely different facility now, but it is a place of fond memories 😊.

Good morning, Jive 🐥.
I haven't seen alcohol served in a kettle since I was a kid 😆 That's nice 〰〰🍶.
I used to go swimming in Wada every year, I haven't been there in a while ⛱️🌊

Good evening, ma-ki🌛.
It was quite a hard business trip 😅
The specialty of this restaurant is "Horumon-yaki Udon" (fried udon noodles with hormone), but it was a traditional diner with a variety of set menus such as omelette rice and other dishes, where local people come.

Good evening, Aladdin 🌛.
I too was surprised when the waiter brought it to me 😁.
The operation method was easy to understand: if it's room temperature, you put it in the kettle and serve it as is, if it's hot, you heat the kettle and serve it ✨.

Hi Hirupeco, good evening 🌛.
It was a new experience for me since I don't often visit this municipality even within the same prefecture of Fukui 😁.
I didn't know there was an aquarium 😲.
I've got a job this year that brings me to Takahama every month, so maybe I'll be able to discover some new attractions ✨.

Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
Drinking kettle sake by hand is quite nice 😁.
Takahama and Wada used to be crowded with a million bathers in one season 🏖.
It is still a globally recognized beach 🌊.

つくねん
It is refreshing when you finish it, but has a fruity taste while it is in your mouth. Interesting.

The second cup is Wakasa.
It has a ginjo aroma and is fruity and easy to drink!
The station in Tsuruga is being renovated, and now all we have to do is wait for the Shinkansen to open, which we are looking forward to 😌.

Sake from Fukui has a high average.
Junmai sake has a sweetness that is typical of junmai sake, but is not dull.

Currently Obama Brewery.
I asked for a recommendation at a tasting and sale, and this is what I got. It is fruity and sweet. It is a junmai ginjo, but it is so gorgeous that you would think it was a daiginjo.
I think it has a little bit of a harshness to it.
It is similar to Kunitake, but with a nuance that I don't like.
It doesn't bother me if it's just a tasting, but it bothers me when I drink more. Is this also the magic of tasting?
Japanese>English

Sweet but good.

まろ
Clean, sweet aroma of rice.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness.
It is very easy to drink, with a hint of acidity and no lingering aftertaste.
It has a bitter aftertaste, so I felt it went better with snacks than with meals.
