I was curious to see what Matsuchiyo-san had posted on Morai, and right after I saw it, I saw on the liquor store's instagram that it was the first one in Kansai, so I immediately went to Fujiidera to buy some 🚃.
I went to Fujiidera to buy it ᾃ This liquor store stocks Igarashi, Sakiyami and other brands that are rarely sold in the Kansai area!
Igarashi and Morai are the only distributors in Kansai so far!
Rokka Shuzo has made a fresh start by relocating its brewery to a location attached to a roadside station. They discontinued the brand name "Jyobari", which was well known by the locals, and launched "Toirai".
According to the brewery, it used to be a large brewery that mass-produced sake, but now it seems to be a small brewery that produces a small amount of many varieties.
So, although they just started business, there were about 5 different varieties in the store 😳.
Of course, this was my first time to taste Matsumae rice. Slightly fruity aroma. It has a clean, light sweetness and a spiciness at the end. It's not flashy, so I guess it's good for mid-meal.
I like nama-sake, but I have recently come to think that it would be nice to have a little cushion of fire-aged sake every once in a while.
