The 3rd Bishu Competition 2025 Kansai Competition (6)
Kamosho Sake Brewery, which Icoma Sake Shop also handles.
After the award ceremony, the brewer came back, so we visited him.
He said that he makes sake by himself and that he would like to go to the Icoma tasting, but he can't make it.
He said the production was about the same as the previous year.
I had a bottle of Junmai 85%, which was in stock at Icoma but I was too scared to buy it.
The rice is Hyogo Sake 85%.
I felt a sense of grain and various complexities. It was pretty peculiar 🫶.
I wonder how it will be when heated 🤔.
I wonder if the rice milling ratio is 85 on purpose to match the name of the rice?
I forgot to take a picture, but I drank the Junmai Daiginjo I brought to last year's year-end party, and it was sweeter and more gassy than last year, so I thought it was getting better!
They said they had to raise the price of sake brewed with the rice they bought this year to make it profitable 😿.
