Shiga Sake Festival in Otsu 20259
Hirai Sake Brewery, Asakayousei booth.
The husband was in charge of the Hi-irei and the wife was in charge of the Nama-shu.
Asakayousei Junmai Sake, Sake brewing for 3003000 years label
I asked for a standard sake, and this was the hi-ire junmai sake. It has a lively acidity that is typical of junmai sake.
◉Hokufunji Junmai Ginjo
This sake has a strong acidity and a sake-like quality. It also has an astringent taste, which I don't like.
Asakayousei Junmai Daiginjo
A retro label with an austere taste. It is elegant and clear, but lacks one more characteristic.
◉Mizukagami Tokubetsu Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu
Fresh and clear, but with acidity and a slight aftertaste of off-flavors.
Asakayousei Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-Nishiki
Mineral, mild and loose on the palate with a full-bodied body. Forgot to take a picture...
Asakayousei Junmai Activated Nigori Kenmei
I gave it to someone else to sample first, and he was able to drink the first sip. It took 3-4 minutes to open and close the bottle. It had a nice rice flavor and a dry bitter aftertaste.
I forgot to take a picture of this one too...
