Ooganbun Junmai Genmai Sake Tank Pressing
March 15, 2025
Bajo Sake Brewery in Kumano-cho, Hiroshima Prefecture, named after the "Great Decree of Restoration of the Monarchy". I saw it on the shelves of a major supermarket in Hiroshima, but my favorite liquor store did not carry it and I ended up not drinking it. The brewery has made a fresh start since 2021 with the appointment of a new chief brewer, Kazuya Murakami, who trained at the Taketsuru Sake Brewery and Yamatoya Sake Brewery.
I met him in Tokyo and had the first taste of the new sake. The aroma is moderate, and the taste is centered on acidity, with the soft sweetness of Hiroshima sake spreading through.
