Kunisake Fair 2025 Osaka (1)
On Sunday, I attended the first ever Kunisake Fair in Osaka 😀.
I was overwhelmed by the size and scale of the venue, but I was able to meet up with Eiji-san from Sake-no-wa and we had a great time 😇.
At the booth I visited with Mr. Iji, the brewer asked me if I was with my family ❓... I wonder if Mr. Iji's grandparents saw us 🤣.
First of all, I headed straight for the Yamaguchi Prefecture booth, my hometown 😀.
I looked at the list of participating sake and toasted Kaorin with a Junmai Daiginjo from Kinjaku, which I had been looking forward to since the day before 🍶.
Kinjaku is still delicious... a crisp, robust fruit with a sweet umami flavor that finishes off nicely 😇.
In the end, we stayed for 3 hours yesterday, and the first and closing toast were both by Kinjaku 😇.
I also had a great time talking about Shimonoseki with a brewer from my hometown, Amami, at the Yamaguchi booth, and it was the longest stay from the beginning 🤣.

Good evening, Yasube, 🌛I see you went to the National Sake Fair ✨I was hesitant because it was in the Expo area and it seemed crowded 😅I didn't know Kinjaku is really existing 😳I love all the delicious looking sake from my hometown 🤤.

Hi Wakata 😀
My first time at the National Sake Fair was great 😇
I was constantly looking around because there were only one or two bottles per brewery, so there were all kinds of sakes that are usually unavailable or too expensive for me to afford 🤣.

Hi Pon-chan 😀
You are still young, Pon-chan, so that's not true 😇
But I'm still surprised at how young you are ‼️🤣.
I wish I had started drinking sake when I was younger 😅.

Hi Nao888 😀
I too thought the subway and the venue would be more crowded because of the Expo, but it wasn't at all 😀
Kinjaku-san is a one time home drinker that I got as a present from Kaorin for my birthday 🤣.

Hello, Nemuchi!
I guess both you and bouken went to Kinjaku first.
I think all the dishes in that lineup look delicious, but I was surprised to see Kinjaku at the fair 🤣.

Hi, Izzy 😀
It was a pleasure to be with you too 😀.
If Kaorin hadn't gotten drunk and it had been just me, I would have liked to attend the noon session too 🤣.
It seems that you are well connected with the brewery in Saga 😇.
