National Sake Fair 2025 part57
Akita Prefecture 2
Akita Meikozo in Yuzawa City
Akita's major sake brewing company along with Takashimizu in Akita, which also runs commercials in the Tohoku region.
In the past, Sayuri Yoshinaga and Hiromi Tanigawa appeared in their commercials as image characters.
I bought a bottle of their Hakuman no Hyakudasake at Yamaya before and it was delicious, so my expectations for this sake are high just because it's called "Hakuman no Hyakudasake" 😆.
It seems to read "Tamakine" in Japanese.
The series using rice grown in their own rice paddies is called "Kannoin" (環稲).
According to the official website, besides Momota, they also have Ippozumi in their lineup!
Polishing ratio 40%, Momota 15-16%, 2475 yen
Sweet, tasty, fruity, and delicious 😋.
It was as good as I expected, but I only see the standard junmai sake and the ones in aluminum cans, so it would be nice to be able to buy the nama sake and other products of this kind in the Kansai area 🤔.
