Purchased after tasting it at an event at Keihan Department Store.
Slightly refreshing with a mild ginjo aroma. Good sharpness in the aftertaste. The second half is quite pungent.
And..., what I mentioned in my last post when I tasted it.
After buying this sake, I was searching for sake-no-wa and noticed that it used to be labeled with the manufacturer, but now it is labeled with the seller and the unique symbol for the place of manufacture.
There are multiple alphabets for the manufacturing site specific symbol, and a search of the Consumer Affairs Agency's database of manufacturing site specific symbols reveals the following
K Fushimi no Tomiyo (Kyoto)
C Naru-no-Sake (Nara)
H Sake is Kuromatsu XX (Hyogo)
T. A certain brewery in Gifu (where the toji from the southern part of Japan transferred to)
It turns out that at least four of these four places are producing sake.
In short, it seems that they do not brew their own sake.
By the way, the one we drank this time was C.
According to some sources, the brewery was damaged by a typhoon a few years ago and they can no longer brew.
In fact, when I checked the street view, I found that a part of the warehouse site was sold and an apartment building was built...
I just learned a sad fact 😢.
I thought it was weird because I haven't seen it lately.
It's sad because I used to enjoy drinking Shiboritate and Jundai's fragrant sweet sake.

Good evening, bouken😄.
It is quintessential that you noticed the manufacturing place specific symbol. I checked the one waiting in the fridge and it was C. I wonder if the flavor has changed 🥹.

Good evening, Mr. Lutemi 😃.
I'm usually in the habit of looking at every corner 😅
It may not be the same taste, but it is consigned to various warehouses and they seem to be particular about it, so the taste may be maintained to some extent 🤔.

Good morning.
I used to drink a small bottle of this brewery's honjozo when I went to Wakayama, but the year before last, when I bought a 4-goupe bottle at Hankyu, it was a little different.
I don't know if the contents are different depending on the size, or if it has changed since it was consigned...

Hello Shinjo 😃
The Honjozo was marked K, so it looks like it's made in Fushimi 🤔It would also depend on whether it's packed from the existing lineup of the consignment company or specially brewed 😃.
