Hankyu Umeda Main Store, The 9th Traveling SAKE①
We love tasting and brewery events, so we came again this time 🤣.
This time, I arrived 20 minutes after the doors opened. 🏃♂️
We started with "Takaten" which is rarely available in Kansai.
The sake is "round and slippery" (it goes down your throat smoothly).
Takaten is a sake brewery run by a brother and sister.
The younger sister, Emi Takahashi, is the toji (master brewer) and the older brother is in charge of sales.
It was the older brother who handled the business. He originally attended Osaka University of Arts and did not expect to help out at the brewery.
He has many acquaintances in Osaka and he wants Takaten to be known more widely 😊.
Takaten Junmai Ginjo
Sleek, clean, and round junginshu.
Takaten on the rocks.
It can be served on the rocks with more than 18% alcohol by volume, but it doesn't give a strong impact.
Takaten Junmai Dry
Slightly dry, with a Sake meter of about +5. It has a sharp taste and is not too spicy.
Takaten Kinmon 59 Junmai Dry
Slightly spicy, but has a nice flavor and a sharp finish.
Takaten Kinmon 39 Junmai Daiginjo
It has a gorgeous aroma, a full flavor, and a clear mouthfeel. The price is reasonable 🤣.
They seem to make 700 koku and I wish they would make more in the Kansai area 😊.
