The 2nd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival (7)
The booth before dawn in Nagano Prefecture.
A brewer who told us that the president of Yodobashi was a former brewer responded to our request.
Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival ◉Yoakemae Sumi-shu Junmai-shu.
The rice used is Yamae Nishiki. It is a summer sake with a low alcohol content of 12% and a sake level of -10%, making it sweet and easy to drink, but not very impactful. It has been on sale since last year, and until then they suggested drinking it on the rocks with 17% alcohol by volume, but it didn't seem to sell well.
◉Yakeyakemae Yamae-Nishiki Junmai Sake
Slightly dry, with a sake strength of +4. It starts out with a sourness that slowly develops into umami, which is typical of junmai sake. It is also good warmed.
Daiginjyo ◉Yoakemae Seikan Brewing Daiginjyo
The aroma is sweet, and the sweetness and umami are immediately apparent upon drinking, yet the sweetness is not overpowering. The sweetness and umami are balanced and not too pronounced.
There were only 3 types and a few items, but I forgot to ask if they were sold out.
