National Sake Fair 2025⑩
Ibaraki Prefecture①
Finally, I went to the Ibaraki booth!
The preliminary list showed only 3 kinds of sake, but when I went there on the day of the fair, I was surprised to see many kinds of sake on display 😳.
Mr. Toji from Urasato Sake Brewery was there with his wife!
It was like meeting a celebrity!
It was the second consecutive week that the event was held in the Kansai region, so it looks like he was staying in Osaka!
The president (Toji's father) was also at the event!
I chose a super dry sake, which I had never had before!
The Ibaraki booth didn't have any information (or did they forget to give it to me?). So I used the specs based on the internet 😅.
Polishing ratio 55%, Hitanishiki 15 degrees, Acidity 1.2, Sake degree undisclosed
It's dry but has sweetness.
I thought it might be dry because it's super spicy, but it's not.
I can drink this kind of dry sake.
Kiri-Tsukuba doesn't seem to sell outside of the prefecture, but they seem to sell it specially to the crazy salad hall, Tomekawa Sake Shop.
I used to buy Kiri-Tsukuba as a matter of course, but I never realized how valuable it was💦.

Hello bouken 😃
I am so envious that you got to meet Mr. and Mrs. Chikara, the master brewer, and drink Kirizukuba: ☺️
Kiri-Tsukuba is a deliciously dry and flavorful sake 🤤.
Thanks to Mr. Tomekawa, I can also drink Kirizukuba while I am in Kansai 😊.

Good evening, Mr. Manachy 🌃
I believe it used to come out around the beginning of the year 🤔.
It's easy to drink and I hope there will be more dry wines like this one 😆.
I think you can see pretty far since there doesn't seem to be too many tall buildings 😁.

Good evening, Mr. Aladdin.
As you said, it was not light, but deliciously dry 😋.
I thought I should drink it more appreciatively 🥰.
