Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 2023⑰. Kawashima Sake Brewery / "Pine Blossom" Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture Founded in 1865. Uses spring water from the traditional "kabata culture" of Harie, selected as one of the 100 best waters of the Heisei era. The unique brewer, whom I had talked to at Abeno Kintetsu, was again available to help me. He told me that the name of the brewery is Kawashima Shuzo, but it was acquired by a different industry in the tea industry through M&A or something. I think it is "Kitagawa Hanbei Shoten", a long-established tea wholesaler in Kyoto, as the current representative is now Mr. Naoki Kitagawa. I don't know 🤣. The image is reversed from the impression I tasted before. Matsu-no-Hana Unfiltered Junmai Nama-Nagara Sake. It is very rich in flavor and delicious. Matsu-no-Hana Unfiltered Ginjo Nama-Nagarazake It is crisp, dry, and refreshing. I used to think Junmai was classical and Ginjo was modern, but now I have a different image 🤔... I guess I got used to it this time, the brewer didn't seem so peculiar to me 😁.
