ねむちThe 7th Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix
Haginotsuru and Hiwada booths.
I found a cat series that I was going to follow by drinking a kotatsu cat.
According to Yohei Sato, the 8th generation brewer, the goal is to create a sake that "enlivens the occasion when enjoyed with like-minded friends.
By brand, "Haginotsuru" aims for a clean, refreshing sake quality that one never gets tired of drinking, while "Hiwada" is made entirely from junmai (pure rice) and aims for a casual, high-quality junmai sake.
Haginotsuru Junmai Ginjo Separately brewed Nama-shu Sakura Neko
It has a refined sweetness and umami taste. This is my favorite type.
Hiwada Namahashimo Shiboritate Junmai Nama-no-Nagara Sake
Lightly sweet and acidic, with a slight sweetness and umami from the lees. It is also delicious.
I knew I had to keep up with the Neko series.

さしゅーNemuchi-san Good evening (^o^) Hagi no Tsuru! The Neko series is delicious, but so is the Hiwada 😊It's also a fun event to talk with the toji-san about all sorts of things!

ねむちSashiu-san, good evening 🌛Hagi no Tsuru has a strong impression of the delicious Neko series, but Hiwada was also delicious 😋I get involved with the brewers and strangers alike at events, so I may be rather annoying 😱.

Hagi-no-Tsuru, which I haven't had for a while recently.
It's not like they have it anywhere and anytime, but when I want to drink it, they don't have it 🤔...
I drank
Hiwada - Junmai Junmai Nama-no-Hashimoto
Gin no Iroha, Polishing ratio 60%, Sake degree +3, Alcohol 16%.
Delicious with sweet and sour taste. Is it a sake with a light nigori taste? I think I have never had a light nigori type sake before.
Haginotsuru Junmai Ginjyo Separately brewed Nama-shu Sakura Cat
Polishing ratio 50%, Sake degree -2, Alcohol 15%.
The only mention of the sake rice is that it is domestic. I wonder if they would have told me if I asked.
This is my first Sakura Neko. It is sweet and tasty. The cat label is not a miss.
カイラさんHagi no Tsuru's limited-quantity cat series 😊.
Cherry blossom season is over for this year...
It's so warm and fuzzy to see these adorable labels 😽.
I'm busy every day...
I'm hoping to relax and enjoy cherry blossom viewing like the cat on the label next year 🥰.
The cat and I both love bonito tataki for the entrée 👍
Ahhhh, I'm so happy 🥰.
15% alcohol by volume
Rice polishing ratio 50%.
Sake degree -5
Acidity 1.4
Rice used: Miyamanishiki
じゅんCute cat!
I was going to buy one square but they were sold out 😭 for 720
It's a delicious sake with spring-like gorgeousness and gentle sweetness 🥰✌️
I mean, it's similar to how I like Tetorigawa!
So I liked this one a lot too 🥰.
うちゃんI asked the lady to give me a bottle of something similar to kafuda-shu and she gave it to me!
The packet was cute and it tasted so much like it 👅✨.
■大木Sweet, slightly sour and fizzy, like juice. Melon-like sweetness. It is slightly cloudy. Cat's are all sweet, easy to drink, and have cute labels. This one was also very tasty.
