Kyoto Takashimaya Sake Festival (1)
Three Sake-no-wa Kansai members had gathered the day before and wished they could have joined us, but they joined alone the next day.
I had received the information the day before, so here is what I drank first.
Sekiya Shuzo booth of Houraisen, Aichi Prefecture.
◉Horaisen Junmai Ginjyo Wa, Aged Nama Shu
They had this one with them this time, so I went for it and tasted it. It was sweet and tasty, with a sour aftertaste. They said it was about 2.5 years old, but when I looked online, I saw that it was aged for a year. The raw sake is made to order three times a year.
◉Houraisen Wa Hi-ire
The sweetness is muted and the acidity is strong. It is best served warmed.
◉Horaisen SILVER Junmai Ginjo
Arakawa (Touji) series. It is made with Minneharka rice. Clear and low in alcohol. It is clear and easy to drink. It is for the overseas market, but it is so popular that it is also available in Japan.
◉Houraisen BLACK Junmai
The most awarded sake. It is a crisp, dry sake. Quite spicy. It is said that heating it up will give it more volume.
When I told him that there was also an empty bowl, he said that he was the first person in Kyoto who knew about it.
This time, they also brought a bottle of empty sake, which is sold only once a year, but as expected, I did not get to taste it.
I heard that 50 bottles of the empty bottle sold out in 5 minutes at the Nagoya Takashimaya Department Store. Really?

Good evening, Mr. Nemuchi.
I've been curious about SILVER for a long time, but sometimes they don't bring it 😅.
I'd like to try the raw sake in the sky at least once 🤤.

Nemuchi, here's another one 😊🙏🙏.
Sold out in 5 minutes, I was honestly surprised 🤣.
It was my first time to try Houraisen and it's delicious! I bought some Japanese sake as a souvenir 🎶I asked for more stores in Kyoto 😁.

Hi Pon-chan, ☀☀☀ at Kyoto Takashimaya, there were a lot of leftover empty sake bottles on my way home too, probably because they are not well known 🤣I also have some Japanese sake bottles I bought at other stores sitting in my fridge 😁Houraisen has many delicious products, so I wish there was a special distributor near me 😊.
