Niigata Sake-no-jin OSAKA (3)
This is my first visit to Yahiko Sake Brewery.
I know Koshi no Hakusetsu, which used to be sold at Yamaya, but this is the first time I have seen Yahiko.
I drank
Koshi-Hakusetsu
Yahiko Koshibuki is used. It's a regular sake, but it's sweet and sour and delicious.
Junmai (junmai)
This one is also sweet and sour, but I preferred the regular sake "Koku".
Kunisake Iyahiko Junmai Ginjo
The flavor of the rice is very strong.
Junmai Daiginjo No. 9
Fruity and gorgeous
Yahiko Romantic Umeshu
Stronger plum flavor than sweetness
I found out later at another booth that the woman who served us at the Yahiko booth was the actual toji (master brewer) of the brewery.
Her nameplate said she was a 1st class sake brewing technician, so I thought maybe... 🤔.
I heard Yahiko Brewery has abolished the toji system.
He said he doesn't have a chance to come to Kansai because both Joetsu Shinkansen and Hokuriku Shinkansen are halfway far away.
