Frog label from Kotobuki Sake Brewery in Takatsuki, Osaka!
I don't know why the frog label, but it is a good sake, very fruity and deep in flavor.
I had it at home today with shrimp dumplings and this sake, and it was a very good accompaniment.

At a counter-only restaurant, choosing from the menu on the blackboard.
Next up is another sake from the Kansai region, but narrowed down more to sake from Osaka!
Kuninochou Frog Label
This is a real first for me! First time at this brewery!
The frog label is kawaii😘.
But what are you implying? Banzai! Flip over? It's a mystery,
The frog label is for a tank of unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered sake.
When you drink it, it's soft? Refreshing!
A little different? Sourness
But, it is unfiltered raw sake, but is it more dry? I don't feel much sweetness.
It's refreshing.
It goes well with stewed chicken liver.

The Tonda area of Takatsuki in Osaka developed as a temple town from the Muromachi period (1333-1573), and in the early Edo period (1603-1868), the Tomita area flourished greatly in the sake brewing industry, taking advantage of its topography blessed with high-quality underground water.
At its peak, there were as many as 24 sake breweries in the area, and the name "Tondasake" (meaning "Tonda sake") was known all the way to Edo (now Tokyo). Along with Ikeda and Itami, Tomita was known as one of the "Three Best Sake Brewing Towns in Hokusetsu".
ChatGPT told me 😊.
The breweries that exist now are Kiyotsuru, Kuninochou, and Adachi Nojo.
I'll have it cold.
The color is clear and almost colorless.
The top aroma is mild and slightly citrusy.
The mouthfeel is fresh, yet pleasantly soft.
The fruity taste is moderate, with just a hint of citrus acidity. There is a neat umami richness that is not unpleasant.
There is a slight nuttiness in the richness, and a fullness to the palate.
I thought it was even better than when I drank it before 😋.
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)

Purchased at a liquor store
Kuninicho, a long time local Osaka sake
Expo 🌍 starts tomorrow and there are a lot of opinions flying around, but personally, I really want to go!
I drank it while indulging in such thoughts!
Cold sake
Slightly floral aroma of white peaches
A sense of gas lingering on the tongue
Moderately astringent taste from the mid-palate
Crisp and sharp aftertaste.
The flavor was lively and powerful, as only Osaka sake can be.
Visited the sake brewery in Tomita in person to purchase.
The price was about 1,300 yen for a four-pack.
I have been working in Takatsuki for quite a while now, but I recently learned that there is a local sake brewery in the area.
Since it was a chance encounter, I was grateful to drink it.
My first impression was dry, but the richness came later.
It is quite tasty.
