National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka ㉖
Saitama Prefecture booth ①.
Sato Sake Brewery is located near Koshu Bairin, one of the three major plum groves in Kanto. The first female toji in Saitama Prefecture, Mariko Sato, the eldest daughter, assumed the position at the age of 26. Her younger brother Tokuya serves as the representative.
◉Koshio Umebayashi Special Junmai
Slightly fruity, sweet and sour. It has a slightly complex flavor with a hint of umami.
Saitama is not considered to have an image of sake, but it seems that the prefecture as a whole has a strong individuality of its own, with breweries such as the traditional Shinkame and now Hana-yoso having a strong individuality. The prefecture ranks fourth in the nation in terms of shipments, and the battle for fourth place always seems to be between Chiba and Saitama.

Hi Nemuchi 🌞.
There are a few breweries clustered around Chichibu, but I didn't know they were ranked 4th in the country 🤔.
I'll have to make a brewery tour sometime.
