The sake festival is almost here.
The brands scheduled to be exhibited have been listed, and we are now trying to get a good idea of what to look for and how to get around. What a treasure trove. I'm looking forward to it too much.
I wonder if Abe and Muskagami will be crowded again. I wonder what limited edition sake I should buy.
I'm glad to see that Takarazan is now available in many stores. The label has been redesigned as Takarayama Brewing, and the hiragana "Takarayama" is becoming more visible.
Here is a small bottle with Hakuho's design.
I like this traditional "Takarayama", character too. It's even faintly there behind the new hiragana label.
Compared to the Shinnosuke on the rice bag label the other day,
The gap is huge!
The aroma has both grain-derived astringency and acidity, and the mouthfeel is soft.
The soft mouthfeel,
The taste is soft, with a hint of sweetness,
The sweetness is immediately followed by a strong sourness and astringency,
The wine has a complex, full-bodied flavor and
and dryness from the back of the throat,
The lingering aftertaste is somewhat long and dry,
When heated, the acidity becomes more pronounced and the taste is dry.
It is best served at room temperature as a mid-meal drink.

On this day of the Emperor's Birthday,
Supporting purchases for the relaunch of Takarayama Brewing, received at Makuake! The dawn of a new history! I'm so happy! Oliseh is happy too!
Takarayama Brewery, a long-established sake brewery in Niigata, was in danger of going out of business. The founding family has revived the business by taking it over with a newly established company.
Rebranded "TAKARAYAMA rice bag label" made entirely from edible rice. Limited sales of first-year draft sake.
To commemorate the restart, each bottle is labeled with a production number. This is the only time you can enjoy this rare sake.
Sweet fruity aroma of banana, melon, and a little berry! Gorgeous!
Smooth and silky on the palate, but....
The mouthfeel is smooth, yet robustly sweet!
Deep, full-bodied umami.
The full-bodied sweetness of the rice spreads out,
The moderate acidity makes it very juicy,
And a lingering aftertaste that lingers gently...,
Delicious!
Production number...No.002?

Sake from the sake tasting room🍶 No.2
The sake brewing company is continuing their business from the bankruptcy proceedings and we are happy to be able to drink again: ‼️
Takarayama Brewery is back!
Takarayama, which was reborn as Takarayama Brewery, resumed sales at the brewery on November 1, so I took a quick peek.
The store was still deserted, but there was a lineup of sake that had been made this year and plenty of amazake in the fridge.
I bought a few bottles of Shinnosuke, which won the 2024 Kura Master Platinum Award for its rice bag label, and some amazake.
The proprietress told us a lot about the bankruptcy proceedings. She said that they are still unable to reopen the lotion bottles using pure rice sake. It's still a tough time, isn't it? I'm rooting for them! The proprietress also enjoys talking about the manga "Moyashimon".
Dark, sweet and sour fruity aroma,
The silky and smooth mouthfeel.
Strong rice aroma and rich sweetness,
The refreshing acidity and astringency
It tastes like an elegant wine,
It tastes like it would go well with cheese,
It has a clear, mellow and delicious taste,
It is delicious.
It is also delicious lukewarm with a soft sweetness.
I wanted to celebrate, but it was too bad.... I wanted to celebrate, but it's a pity... I hope Albi can avoid relegation to J2 in the league with this strength!

Hello, Golden Cat Demon 😃.
Takarazan Sake Brewery is back 🤗Great news👍That review shows your thoughts 🥹.
And the Lewin Cup ⚽️ was a terrific game 🥹we could have won it at the same time 🏆! I thought.
In July, I was shocked to see the news of Hozan Brewery's bankruptcy proceedings. I had hoped that they would be able to take over the business and continue, but it seems that the decision was made the other day.
Although it is a really small brewery, it has won many awards for its sake using rice rice such as Koshihikari and Shinnosuke, various kinds of delicious fruity amazake, drinkable sake lotion, and sake brewery tours by the famous proprietress, all of which I thought would be around forever, are suddenly gone, and I feel sad.
Thank goodness...
The sake brewery hadn't reopened for sales and such yet, but I'd like to visit again.
This is Koshihikari Junmai Ginjo-shu from the June brewery.
This old Masu (sake cup) with an old design of Hozan was given to me by the proprietress.
I savor the sake with sincerity.
The aroma of the Masu's cypress wood is fragrant, and the Koshihikari rice aroma and ginjo aroma are clean and crisp,
The smooth taste is sweet and smooth,
The mouthfeel is smooth and smooth, with a firm sweetness and a deep, slightly astringent flavor,
The bitter, spicy, slightly dry taste in the back of the throat is delicious.
I want to drink Shinnosuke with a rice bag label when it reopens.
I'm waiting for it!
