ねむち
Shiga Sake Festival in Otsu 2025⑫
Mochizuki Shuzo and Suzukabuto booth.
The youngest toji in Shiga Prefecture who used to not talk much, but this time he was able to talk a lot.
◉Jusakabuto Special Junmai Namaishu
A full-bodied, mellow type of sake with a unique aroma on the nose. The aroma on the nose is unique, but not unpleasant.
◉Junmai Ginjo Hi-ire
The aroma is clear and calm, a little loose and lackluster. It has a pungent aftertaste.
◉Juzukabuto Junmai Ginjo Namaishu
Fresh, with a firm umami and a little bit of sake. It has a freshness to it, a firm umami, and a slight sake-like quality.
The Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu and the Hi-ire Shu have almost identical labels, but there is a small note on the label saying that the sake has been hi-ire and needs to be stored cold.
It seems that after Corona, they started storing more regular sake and now they are reducing production. They haven't raised the price yet, but they said that from now on the situation will be such that they will either sell it for rice or make it to earn money for rice. I'll have to drink and support them.
