Kyoto Takashimaya Sake Festival (5)
Booth of Shimazaki Sake Brewery in Higashikiriki, Tochigi Prefecture.
◉Tokyo Rikishi Jungin Drunken Summer 12
Sweet and sour, rather common these days. A new low-alcohol product. The sales of this year's product will determine whether or not it will be made next year.
◉Higashi Rikishi Junmai Drunken Summer Nama Nama Sake
A little chocolaty and nikki-like. Slightly sweet and dark.
The brewer was not very friendly, and the conversation was not very productive... I had to leave soon after... Tochigi Ai 🤗💞.
I read Pon-chan's review and she said it was very interesting........................................was it the wrong person who responded?
Hello Nemuchi ☀☀☀☀.
Maybe you were a mannequin or a cheerleader 🤔I had the impression that you were relatively friendly when you came to the traveling SAKE...
Hello, Nemuchi 🐦.
Takashimaya in no time! And the fact that you know so much about it is just amazing✨
Interesting Kurarajin-san and Kaygetsu-san 😊The two of us were laughing so much that even the East Rikishi next to us was staring at us 😂.
Good evening, bouken-san. 🌜️I showed him a picture of the drunken summer I drank some time ago, and he said it was from a while ago, so I thought he was a kurabito...😅I usually show him a picture of what I drank, and we can talk more, but we had no chemistry💦.
Good evening, Ponchan. 🌜️ Takashima has a small number of warehouses, so it will be over soon 🤣Katsuragi's warehouseman must have been interesting 😁I guess he was in a good mood after talking with Ponchan and Usagigoten 😆.

Higashi Rikishi and Kaygetsu with Usagi-Goden who came almost by turns ♪
Junmai Ginjo Drunken Summer 12
It tastes fresh like watermelon!
Junmai Drunken Summer Nama Sake.
More robust taste than Junmai Ginjyo.
Easy to drink too!
And Kaygetsu still prefers Aikawa Homare
It's an easy drinking Yamahai 😊.
The brewer was very funny 😆.
Sorry I only remember it as interesting 💦.
Usagi-san knows a lot about sake, so I learned a lot from the conversation with the brewery staff!
Thank you for your time 🙇.
Good evening, Pon-chan!
The sake event sounds like a lot of fun to try different kinds of sake🎵.
I'm not good at talking and get nervous, but your review makes me want to go back 😊.
Pon-chan, I'm so glad to see you here 😃.
Thank you for your and Usagi's love for Tochigi 🥰🤗I respect that you know so much about Sake and can talk so much with the people at the brewery 🥹we can only talk small talk 😅.
Good evening, ma-ki.
It's very helpful to be able to find the flavor you like 😁.
On weekends, there are a lot of customers, so you can sample some of their products just by saying "me too" 😊 or stop by with your wife while you are shopping 😉.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 🦉🦉.
Yes, it was! Tochigi, right 😳Ozura and Usagi both spoke at my level and I was so impressed with their professionalism ✨.
Love Tochigi 🥰 even at the tasting!
Hi Pon 😀
Sounds like you and Usagigoten are having fun tasting 😇
I finally got to try Toryokushi for the first time myself at the last Kokunisake fair, but I wanted to drink it slowly at home once if I could 😀.
Hello Yasube, 🐦.
I've only ever had nigori sake, so I was surprised to see how many different kinds of sake they make, including the 🍉label 😊.
It was fun cackling with the bunny 😆.
Memorandum
Sake rice Sake rice
Polishing ratio 65
Softly sweet on the palate. The lingering aftertaste is a refreshing summer sake with some acidity. Well, I was drunk, so my impression is questionable. After that, whatever I drank was like water and tasted great lol.
I finally opened it, having bought it a long time ago. Slightly sweet aroma of rice. It is quite fizzy in the mouth, and has a nice, clean crispness. It is delicious.
🍉Cute!
I would choose it because of the package!
But it was very refreshing and summery!
I thought it was the first time for me to meet Azuma Rikishi, too.
I thought it was the first time for me to meet him, but it seems he had already had Shimazaki Sake Brewery before.
National Sake Fair 2025 Osaka ⑥
It was almost the end of the time and this was the last booth 🤣.
There were many more prefectures I wanted to visit, but I chose Tochigi prefecture here in honor of JN who is full of Tochigi ❤️😇
I've seen a lot of comments about Tochigi before, but I've never seen it before 😀.
I'll have it for the first time😇
I've never had the standard sake so I can't compare the taste, but this was a delicious sake with a refreshing acidity, just like a summer sake😇.
It's just my imagination, but I have the impression that there are many sake from Tochigi that have a bright acidity, like Senkou-san does 😀.
I even had a bald father here 🤣.
This was the end of our tour of the fair 😀.
We finished up at Kinjaku in Yamaguchi prefecture and headed home 😀.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your company this time 🙇.
I hope we can work together again somewhere 😇
Thanks for posting the fair, Yasbay 😊.
You have toured a lot! And you drank all of them 😳 You are so strong!
I tasted the watermelon label at Takashimaya, it doesn't taste like watermelon but it is watermelon-like 😆.
Good evening, Pon 😀
I haven't visited Takashimaya's sake department yet, so this was my first time to see your East Rikishi 🤣.
I'm still a newbie, so I need to drink well to get a good impression of the sake 😅.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
I've been wondering about Tochigi Rikishi and his bald father for a while now because of JN's and everyone else's comments, so I've been aiming to close this one from the beginning😇.
After all, Tochigi's sake is delicious too 😀.
As the label suggests, it was an interesting sake with a watermelon-like aroma.
It has a moderately sweet and sour taste.
The low alcohol content of 12% makes it easy to drink and perfect for summer.
