Kyoto Takashimaya Sake Festival
Kawashima Sake Brewery booth at Matsu-no-Hana in Shiga Prefecture. It was the usual brewer.
◉Honjozo Unfiltered Nama Sake
A rare and unseen limited edition. This sake was pressed six months ago. It has a strong, robust flavor. It has an alcohol content of 19%, and the flavor is said to hold up well even when mixed with ice. I might like this one a lot.
◉Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake
This was pressed in March. The flavor is the usual standard, robust and dark.
◉Ginjo Unfiltered Nama
50% polished, clean, bitter and acidic.
Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-Genshu
The 40% polished version is the most elegant and slightly richer.
When I tasted it two years ago, the ginjo was modern, but not this time...
We have a young Noto Touji here now, and this is his third term.
The top management of Kawashima Brewery changed through M&A a few years ago, and I'm glad to see that things are slowly moving in the right direction.
