National Sake Fair 2025 Day 221
Shizuoka 8
Makino Sake Brewery in Fujinomiya City
There is also the Makino Brewery of the same name in Gunma, which brews "Ohaii" sake!
Fujinomiya sake breweries always have "Fuji" in their company name or brand name.
We were served by the daughter of the brewery.
She said she is the heiress of the brewery.
We drank
Fujiyama Junmai Daiginjo
Polishing ratio 50%, Yamadanishiki 15%, Sake degree +5, 4000 yen
Beautiful, fruity and not too Shizuoka-like!
Fuji nigori sake
Polishing ratio 70% Gohyakumangoku/Koshibuki 15%, Sake degree -8
1400 yen
It is neither sweet nor dry, and is easy to drink.
Fuji Junmai Ginjo
Polishing ratio 60%, 2038 Honorific Fuji, 15%, Sake degree +5, 2,800 yen
A typical Shizuoka sake. Spicy but just right.
We had a lot of fun talking about ramen, dipping neapolitan, and other things that have nothing to do with sake 😁.
She was bright and energetic 😊.
Shizuoka had some Sugi-Nishiki and Deiseijo that I hadn't had yet but forgot to drink💦.
