Hankyu Department Store Tasting (1)
From Kochi Prefecture to Tochigi Prefecture...but not from Hanshin Department Store to Hankyu Department Store.
On the way, I got the sake I had been after for a long time at Yamanaka Sake store in Eki Marche.
At Hankyu, I tasted Shikizakura.
Shikizakura Junmai Ginjo Y.S. Nama Sake
It is made from "Yumesasara," Tochigi Prefecture's preferred rice for sake brewing, and uses Tochigi Prefecture's yeast T-S. It has a firm flavor and a slightly caramelized taste.
It had a robust flavor, with a slight caramel taste, and I think I detected a bit of chocolate.
Shikizakura Daiginjo Nama Sake
The aroma, sweetness, and umami spread gorgeously in the first sip. This is very tasty. It has a mild bitterness in the aftertaste.
Shikizakura Imai Shohei Junmai Daiginjo
This sake is named after the toji (master brewer) with whom we had a chance to talk at the previous brewer's festival. The label had changed since the last time I tasted it, so I didn't recognize it. It has a robust flavor, with a bitter bitterness followed by a refreshing spiciness.
Shikizakura Summer
I don't understand the note anymore, it says Umasukiri.
Tochigi no Hoshi Junmai Sake
It is made from rice, "Tochigi-no-Hoshi". I thought it was a little too ricey or something.
The brewer came to the brewery and talked about Hanabara, which was featured in the movie "Mimashinbo," the story of the two Utsunomiya breweries, and the toji (master brewer).
Again, I love Tochigi 💕🤗🤗.
