National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_83
Wakayama Prefecture booth ①.
The Wakayama booth was the last one we ran into.
Takagaki Sake Brewery from Aritagawa-cho, Aritagawa-gun, famous for its mandarin oranges. The brewery's brewing water is locally produced Kukaisui, a sacred water for longevity and immortality.
◉Daiginjo Ryujinmaru, bottled and unconditioned sake.
I've had Kirakusato before, but this is the first time I've had Ryujinmaru because it's so hard to find. I had heard that it was more subdued than its image, but it is totally delicious. It has a strong flavor. It has a slightly chocolaty and rich flavor. It's really tasty.
The brand became famous nationwide when it appeared in the manga "Moyashimon," and it is now hard to find. The story of how Junichi Takagaki, the 8th generation head of the family, passed away suddenly and his wife took over as the 9th generation brewer is amazing.
