Diaikiku packaged sake from Toda Sake Brewery in Chino City. (I believe they also sell it in bottles.)
It is a regular sake that does not cost more than 2,000 yen for a bottle, but it is very good! It has a clear sweetness and umami flavor. I'll drink it again and again.
I bought a bottle of Chino City's local sake at the Tsuruya Chino store. The taste is a little sweet and refreshing. There is nothing unpleasant about it. It is a normal sake, but only normal. It does not reek of sake, so it is good for casual drinking.
Ukiyoe" is a junmai ginjo sake from Diachiku. It is also smooth and has a light ginjo aroma characteristic of junmai ginjo. A taste of Chino, Shinshu, to be found in Shinbashi.
Thank you for always making the "Zukudase! Thank you for the excitement of the "Sake of Shinshu" group! I am the chairman of the group. I finally got to taste "Diaigiku," a sake from Chino City, my former residence, at the sake brewery Diaigiku, located in the New Shinbashi Building on the first basement floor, just off the SL Plaza in Shinbashi. I was surprised at how much I liked the taste and reconfirmed its attractiveness. I am planning to visit the brewery soon for the maintenance of my car, so I had to buy some at the brewery!
The 3rd Bishu Competition 2025 Kansai (1)
I went to the Bishu Competition in Osaka, where the management and judges are all women 😊.
I was a little nervous because it was my first time to attend a tasting at a hotel.
The venue was Hotel Elsereine Osaka!
The awarding ceremony was held for an hour between the first and second parts, so it was a little bit difficult to drink during this time 😅.
There was a booth with sake from breweries that were not participating in the event, so I had a drink from a brewery I didn't know.
Diachiku from Nagano Prefecture. It seems they were bought by a company called Toda Shuhan in Yamanashi and changed their name to Toda Sake Brewery.
Diaigiku was drunk by Lutemi before 😊.
Fruity, sweet and tasty, but with a bit of bitterness.
I wrote "fruity" at first, but it has a full-bodied Japanese sweetness that I like a lot!
Where can I buy it?
Good evening, Aura of Hama.
I see you live in Chino😊.
I didn't know about this alcohol so I was looking it up and found out about the company name change😅.
Good evening, bouken!
I visited Suwa when I toured the five Suwa warehouses, but it was far away so I had a hard time getting there.
I remember I had a hard time to get there because it was far away. I bought it because I liked the flavor even though the alcohol content was high. I miss it so much 😊.
Moderate aroma
Soft sweetness and strong acidity come from the palate, but do not linger much. The aftertaste is slightly pungent from the alcohol.
Alcohol content: 15%.
Sake meter degree +6
Acidity 1.5
Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The second glass at the izakaya (Japanese-style pub) where we were traveling. The taste of ginjo spreads on the palate. It is dry with a strong acidity.
Aroma with a hint of savory flavor. There is no unpleasant alkali taste. It is dry, but the corners are removed and the mouthfeel is mellow and full of the umami of rice. It is sharp with a hint of acidity and bitterness, but has a lingering aftertaste. It is recommended to drink on the rocks. Miyamanishiki. Young corn (olive oil, salt, mayo, soy sauce, seven spices)
