Tasting at Hankyu Department Store (3)
The booth of Ryusen Yaezakura.
I thought they had been at the brewery's booth at the brewery festival, and when I talked with the brewer, he reminded me that they are a cave-storage brewery that rents out their limestone caves to the general public.
This was the first time for the brewery to participate in a regular event other than the Kuramoto Festival.
The sake was junmai ginjo unfiltered nama sake chukumi (sake-komachi).
I asked the brewer about it because I had not had it before at the festival, and he told me that it might have been sold out early, so I tasted it.
It is fresh, dark, sweet and fruity. It has a slight nutty and caramel taste.
Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Naka-Kumi (Ginga)
The specs are the same, but this one uses a different sake rice, Ginginga. It is a little bit sweet and smooth.
Junmai Ginjo Sakekomachi Ginjikonjo
This is an unfiltered, unfiltered, raw sake of Sakekomachi, watered down for summer to make it easier to drink.
Ryusendo 1 Year Storage
This sake is less rich than the previous one. It does not have a strange sense of maturity, and its umami is mellow.
Iwaizumi Matsutake Mushroom Sake Morinoho
It reminds me of instant matsutake mushroom soup. I think it was a bit rough when I drank it at the brewer's festival. This is also good.
