Takashimaya Sake Festival
I always look for something other than my favorite sake at this kind of sales event.
If I go around without thinking, I end up buying only dry sake that I like!
That's where I found Tocho!
Tocho is a sake brewery in Ureshino, Saga.
It was my first time to see it!
I want to go to Ureshino Onsen (hot spring), so I tasted some sake to prepare for the trip!
I've only been to Saga for horse races, but next time I want to go there properly!
I tasted Keimon, which has a very elegant sweetness from the rice.
It is a sweet pure rice!
It is very smooth and crisp, rich but light!
Then I bought Junmai Junmai.
I was told that it was meant to be lukewarm, and from the image I got from tasting it, I thought it looked good and made a decision right away!
As I expected, this sake also has an elegant sweet taste, but this one has a strong acidity and a sharp taste!
The aroma has the texture of a responsive sake!
Warmed to lukewarm, it is even more relaxing!
It has a very drinkable flavor and strength, and I'm almost ready to finish it just by heating it up to lukewarm!
I heard that there are many local Honjozo sake available in this area, so I am looking forward to drinking it!
