The one he said he went to the brewery today and bought was Taiyo Shuzo's here.
The rice is Nojoho and the alcohol content is 19%.
It has a strong and wild taste, but I personally like it better than Takejaku's sake yeast which I drank at the Sake-1 Grand Prix!
It's quite heavy, so it's not easy to drink 😅.
It can be enjoyed cold, warmed up, or with soda, etc.
People who like Raku no se and Asahi Wakamatsu will like it.
I also had a bottle of Tarekuchi Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama-Ginjo (raw sake), which I've already had in the past.
It too has a strong, powerful flavor. I told them that it tasted sweeter than the ones I've had in the past, and they said that this brewery uses wild yeast and doesn't have a koji room, so the taste may be a bit blurred. I was told that this brewery uses wild yeast and has no koji room, so the taste may be a bit blurred 😳.
Some of you may know this brewery, but there are a lot of episodes here, so if you are interested, please google it 😊.

I searched the name of the person who was the president of the consultancy and it seems he is still in the liquor industry 😡.

This article suggests that Suminoi Sake Brewery, Fuji Takasago Sake Brewery, and Chiyogiku are also receiving support.
I don't care about the support, but the way they are doing it is disgusting.

This may happen partly because it is a regulated industry that does not allow new entrants, but on the other hand, deregulation may lead to an increase in the number of long-established businesses that go out of business.

Suminoi is now under the umbrella of a Thai food company and only manufactures mirin (sweet sake) on consignment.

I see that Chiyogiku is a subsidiary of Morita (Sony's Morita's family), a Nagoya-based company under the listed JFLA Holdings, Inc.
Fuji-Takasago was recently sold, according to the wiki.

There are more warehouses being bought and sold than I thought.
Surprised 🤔.

The history is complicated, and it seems like they are repeatedly buying and selling within the affiliated companies 🤔.
A-Sakura, Fuji Takasago, and Ginban were originally owned by the current presidents of Tenka, Shihu, and Hohanami.
