Moriguchi Keihan Department Store, Hokuriku-Shinetsu Good Food Festival/Japanese Sake Festival⑤.
Booth of Takarayama Brewery, Niigata Prefecture.
Takarayama Brewery was at the Hankyu Brewery Festival in 2022, but in July 2024, they took over the business, changed the name to Takarayama Brewery, and started anew.
This one is handled by a mannequin. I have been talking to the mannequin a lot lately, and this time, coincidentally, he lives in the same city and let me sample everything.
Junmai ◉ Junmai
Junmai is a refreshing yet slightly spicy sake.
Junmai Ginjo
The attack is sweet, with a punch, but overall not too sweet.
◉Ginjo
A spicy, clean, full-bodied sake with a refreshing finish after swallowing.
Aki-agari Akihitohitohi
A very mellow, sweet and delicious sake. The sweetness is calm and gentle.
Takarayama: Shinnosuke, fire-brewed sake, labeled with a rice bag.
This sake has a very good flavor. The attack is sweet and tasty, with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Slightly bitter aftertaste.
◉TAKARAKAMA Yonebukuro Label Koshihikari Fire-brewed undiluted sake.
14% alcohol by volume. Slight sweetness. Slightly sweet, with a refreshing aftertaste.
More impressive than the previous sake.
Good evening, Nemuchi-san.
Thank you for the information on the Sake Festival. Thanks to you, I was able to experience a fun event today 🎵.
I see you brought two bottles of Tenryo Sake with you 🤗.
I'm looking forward to your post 😁✨✨.
Good evening ma-ki-, good evening 🌜️ I was just on vacation and was able to go ahead of you, so I'm glad I could help you 😊I couldn't choose just one tenryo sake cup, so I took two of them home with me 😅I see you bought one too 😆👍
Keihan Department Store Moriguchi Sake Festival 8
First sake since Takarayama Brewery went bankrupt and was taken over by Takarayama Brewing Company.
Autumn Hitsujikka (one fire)
I think they call it hiyaoroshi.
Gentle sweetness, good at room temperature or lukewarm.
Takarajima Koshihikari sake
I've had this one in the past.
It is sweet but not as sweet as the sake degree, and has a complex flavor with a strong umami taste.
Takarayama Shinnosuke Genshu
This sake was recommended by Nemuchi.
Sweet and delicious, a little messy and complex. Slightly unique flavor.
Takarayama Junmai Ginjyo Genshu
I was going to finish with only the above three, but I was curious about the sake degree of -21, so I tasted it. I was told that it was very sweet.
This one uses Yamadanishiki instead of rice.
The rich sweetness is like a dessert wine😋.
The staff was also surprised when they tasted it.
She looked like a clerk at a department store, not someone from the brewery, but someone who knew a lot about it.
I wanted to visit the booth of a hobbyist liquor store owner, but I had other business to attend to 💦.
I bought this ginjo-shu🍶 at Takarayama Brewery when I stopped by during my summer vacation trip to Niigata.
The atmosphere of the sales space is also very nice, and I would definitely like to apply for a tour of the brewery next time.
The sake was light on the palate and gentle with a hint of sweetness. ☺️
Sake brewed with Shinnosuke, an edible rice, with undisclosed specifications. It has a strong acidity, but also has a strong sweetness and umami. It has a unique atmosphere but is easy to drink.
It is clear and colorless, with aromas of pear, honeysuckle, and topknots. The attack is rather strong, with a refreshing acidity, moderate sweetness, and a rather long finish.
My eldest son, who recently started living alone, bought this for me in Niigata on a business trip. I've grown up 😭
I was drunk and the picture is out of focus. It tasted yellow and matured.
Good morning, Yojiro!
It's so nice of you to think of your father and bring him his favorite sake even on a business trip ✨.
That's a great way to get drunk 😁✨✨✨.
