Next was Fujioka Sake Brewery's Aozora.
We were also given a set to compare drinks and a few snacks.
For purchase, we took home a bottle of Kinuhikari Orikarami, which is not included in the paid tasting.
Here are my impressions of the paid tasting.
Junmai Daiginjo Oorigarami Aizan
Milky and full of umami, but not too sweet.
It can be enjoyed as a food sake.
Junmai Daiginjo Oorigarami Betsuatsurae Yamadanishiki
A clear, old-fashioned sake with a strong umami flavor.
It also has a strong umami.
The lingering aftertaste is refreshingly bitter and well-balanced.
Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki
A classic sake that has been around since the beginning.
It has a smooth mouthfeel.
It has a soft sweetness and a salty taste with a soft lingering bitterness.
A sake that is delicious every time you drink it without giving up.
Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake
At room temperature.
The taste in the mouth is very robust.
A nice spiciness from the firm mouthfeel that only junmai sake can have.
The second half has a refreshing citrus aroma, sweetness, and a soft lingering bitterness.
The rice used to make this sake is Kinuhikari.
When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness and bitterness give way to umami. It is clean and fruity.
The lingering aftertaste is a soft bitterness that is common to all of the wines we have had today, and I felt it was exquisitely balanced.
It has been a while since I have had Aozora, but it was delicious.

Good evening ♪
It's nice.
I'm on the shinkansen to Kyoto, but this time I didn't have time to visit Fujioka Sake Brewery. That's also why I drank yesterday😊.
What shall I drink tonight 🍶 (the beer I'm drinking on the bullet train is hydration💫)

Good evening, ma-ki-san 😀
Kaorin and I often visit sake breweries in Fushimi, but we only go to the south and west side of the station 😅.
I'd love to visit there next time 😇

Thank you for your comment Yasube.
It was my first time to visit a brewery in Kyoto, but I felt it was easy to visit because it was so close 🎵.
We hope you and Mr. and Mrs. Yasubeje will visit Aozora too 😊.
I look forward to your feedback 😊.
