Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - Shikoku's Sake and Food Spectacle - (1)
Nemuchi and I participated in the Shikoku Sake event held at Kyocera Dome!
The venue was 5 minutes before the event, so we arrived in time to get in, but the line was too long to get in in 5 minutes 😳 We lost about 10 minutes 💦.
We lost about 10 minutes 💦.
There was no sake list like at Japanese Sake Fest or Sake-1 Grand Prix 🤔.
We decided to focus on the breweries we hadn't seen before.
We started with Imakomachi.
It seems to be in the same area as Yoshimizu and Miyoshikiku, and Miyoshikiku has the same salad address, so they are neighbors!
I referred to the official site for the specs.
I drank
Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Harazake
Gohyakumangoku, 50% polished rice ratio
It has a beautiful taste and is slightly sweet. It is fire-aged, but I also felt a sense of freshness. The sweetness and acidity were well balanced.
Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Harajuku
Yamadanishiki, 40% polished rice
Fruity and sweet. I got the impression that Imakomachi is generally sweet.
Yamasho Junmai Ginjo Genshu
Gohyakumangoku, 60% polished rice ratio
Unlike the above two types, it is refreshingly dry as it claims to be super dry.
Daiginjo
Yamadanishiki 40% polished rice
Less sweet than the jun-dai, but delicious.

I asked a distributor in the Kansai region and was told that Daisune in Kobe carries it, but it does not seem to be available at all times and may have to be ordered 🤔.
Both jun-dai and daiginjo are priced at 3300 yen, which is reasonable for the specs!
