Hankyu Brewery Festival (3)
I was interested in this festival in the past, but there were so many people that I passed it up 🙄.
I'm glad that I can go with Nemuchi-san 😊.
It seems that the brewery has come back to life after a long dormancy.
According to Nemuchi's information, it seems to be a group of "Sanin no Kura", but Sanin no Kura has two websites, the older one is listed but not the current site which is compatible with smartphones🤔.
I guess they must be affiliated with Miyako Nishiki because their individual official websites have similar layouts.
The old site seems to have stopped being updated around 2012, but I didn't realize they were grouped together that long ago 😳.
It also lists the breweries that are now out of business.
I wonder if they have been part of a brewery alliance for a long time, but recently, the parent company's intention to emphasize branding has come to the forefront.
I tasted
Noukouzake sign88
Kinjyu Dark Maple Junmai Daiginjyo Nama-no-Hara Sake
Unexplored Oku-Shimane Yaoei 2021 Nama-Nagara Sake
Unexplored Oku-Shimane Yaoei 2022 Nama-Nagara Sake
Nokkozake sign88 has a strong rice flavor and is very drinkable.
The Haikyo Oku-Shimane is made from different rice varieties in different years. I heard they made them differently.
Both are sweet and delicious, but 2022 was sweeter and more to my liking.
I bought the Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake that gave me the best impression.
