The 2nd Annual National Sake Brewery Sake and Talks.
This is the second sake from Hana-no-Ko Sake Brewery, which brews San-do.
It is San-do 2023 Kabashiko Shikonosozo.
Kako is read as "Kabashiko".
It is a new native rice following Hozu.
As the name suggests, this rice has a distinctive aroma.
President Kanda brought some Kako rice and allowed us to take a whiff 🌾.
It has a unique and indescribable fragrance.
It is different from flowers, perfume, or tea, but it is a good scent.
I would like to feel the aroma when it is cooked!
Kako's Sansho is also orikara and slightly effervescent.
The aroma is complex and fragrant, with a fresh sweet aroma of pears and rice like freshly pounded rice cakes, combined with the fragrant aroma of Kako.
The taste is refreshing and refreshingly dry, with a gentle sweetness that is more acidic and umami than sweetness.
It does not have the wildness of Hozu, but it does have the bitterness and other wild flavors typical of native rice.
The overtone aroma is also unique to Kako, as is the Kamitatekoso aroma.
Since I am a meek person at heart, I asked President Kanda to sign the bottle of Kako at the end of the event and gave it to me as a souvenir 😊.

ヤスベェ
Aladdin, good evening 😀.
Are you for real ❓😅
President Kanda from Kako appeared 🤣.
I'm too jealous😇
I still have 3 bottles of sansho waiting for me at home, but I haven't had Kako yet 😅.
As a sansho lover, I can only envy you 🤣.

Good evening, Yasube-san 😃.
Due to the typhoon, Kanda-san appeared late, but he was quintessentially popular!
It was a very intoxicating opportunity to hear from the brewery owner, Mr. Kanda, about Jyunoujozo 😊.
Maybe there will be another one next year, so please do!

Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
I was a lone attendee, but it was a delicious and fun party 🍶.
Let's talk with sake brewers! The theme of the meeting was "Let's talk with sake brewers", so it wasn't at all academic, but rather, it was like we could casually listen to what we wanted to hear!

コタロー
Hi Aladdin 🌙
I am so envious of your appearance with President Kanda at the not-for-sale Sansho 😆✨.
I drank Kako the other day and really enjoyed it and liked its unique aroma, so I'm very interested in the aroma of the rice itself: ☺️

Good evening, Kotaro 😃.
It was a really enjoyable meeting 😊.
I drank Kako for the first time, but I was also curious about the aroma of rice, so it was a great opportunity for me 🌾.
It seems you can eat cooked Kako and Hozasu at the Hanakairo, which is attached to the brewery 😄.
