■Ota Sake Brewery / "Doukan" and "Koakubutsu", Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture
The Ota family, whose distant ancestor is Doukan Ota, a master builder of Edo Castle, is a general sake brewer that also brews shochu (Japanese liquor) and wine.
The company uses difficult-to-read kanji characters such as "Fujikura" and "Kokoro".
Doukan Ginbuki Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake
It has a rich, honeyed flavor, but it is easy to drink.
Doukan Watafune 60 Special Junmai Nama Nama
This sake has a full-bodied flavor with a little bit of umami assertion. It is also rich, but has an easy-drinking quality that does not linger.
We were running out of time, and wanted to visit other places, so we only tasted a few without talking much.
