Company drink (4)
It's a one year old sake, so it's matured nicely.
It has a very strong umami and richness.
It has a sweet taste like tortoise shell candy.
The impactful bottle, the gentle yogurt-like aroma, it was probably the best suited to me among the sakes I drank on this trip to Osaka.
I want to drink it again.
Thank you very much for taking the Hankyu train today."
Here is a drink from Osaka. What a surprise! This sake is a collaboration between Kiyotsuru Sake Brewery and Hankyu Corporation. Amazing!
The bottle is the image color of Hankyu Railway. The back of the bottle shows the station sign (lol).
I use the Hankyu Railway every day. I ordered it without thinking.
It tasted like the sake.
It was a delicious sake that would go well with food.
So, no second transfer today, we are at the end of the line.
A local Osaka sake recommended and purchased by the owner of a liquor store. It is from a sake brewery in Takatsuki.
The first sip is refreshing, followed by a robust sake-like flavor. The aftertaste is crisp and clean. I had it cold.

Kiyotsuru One Hundred and Sixty-Nine Year Old Sake Junmai Ginjo Nama Sake.
A few weeks ago, when I had a weekday off, I decided to visit a nearby sake brewery in my spare time and went to Kiyotsuru.
Last year I drank it at the Osaka Jizake Tenma Daijukai and it was one hundred and sixty-eight years old.
This time, I bought a bottle of the now-only draft sake.
By the way, Kiyotsuru, Kuninicho, and the Adachi Nojo brewery at Danchi Brewery can be easily visited by car.
It is a narrow road that is difficult to enter by car, but if you enter the address in the picture in the navigation system, it looks like there is a parking lot.
Kiyotsuru said that they have a brewery tour in February.
I had a glass of cold sake.
When poured into a glass, fine bubbles adhered to the glass.
The color is clear and greenish yellow.
The top aroma is slightly alcoholic and grain-like.
The mouthfeel is fresh and thick.
The taste is complex, with a hint of astringency, acidity, and graininess. It has a somewhat traditional flavor, but it is fresher than the fire-aged wines I have had before, so it is less classical and easier to drink.
There's also a bit of spiciness on the palate, but the aftertaste is short.
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Rice polishing ratio:60
Alcohol content: 16%.

Very smooth, yet somehow juicy🍊.
It has a gentle sweetness, but it also tastes like traditional sake...
It's a good sake with history and novelty in the same bottle.
It's a good sake to drink with food or in the evening 🍶.

This is another Osaka sake I've never had. Too many I've never had even though I'm a local 😅.
I tasted some while asking bouken-san about various things about Kiyotsuru.
I should learn from him 💦.
Junmai Hiyoroshi
I heard other people talking about it, and they said it was hiyaoroshi, but it had been aged for 2 to 3 years. It had a solid richness, and shouldn't it be labeled "matured sake" and sold as such?
Certainly it is strange to have hiyaoroshi at this time of the year... Bouken-san said that hiyaoroshi is sold all year round at his brewery.
Junmai Ginjo One Hundred and Sixty-Eight Year Old Sake.
The pop-up says "Hana-ya" and bouken-san explained that the number of years increases with each year... It was classical, and the aftertaste was a little sharp and spicy...
At this brewery, a boy of junior high school age was pouring sake into an inokuchi (cup) for tasting.
Is he the heir to the brewery? The next brewer? 🤔
Good evening, Nemuchi 😃.
Most of them are mainly distributed around the warehouses and hidden 😅 except for Aki-shika and Katano Sakura.
The first picture is in the township of Zhuang 😸.
