Downhill Sake Story Event 3) From the Itami Laematsu Sake Brewery, established in 1688, we drank "Laematsu" Itamigo Special Honjozo, a highly prestigious sake for the Shogun. It has the flavor of honjozo and a smooth throat. It is also good as heated sake. A joint sake brewing song was performed. The song was sung in slightly different tunes at each brewery. It was a nice touch. The symbol of Kobe, the Port Tower🗼, is closed for renovation work.

If you go to Itami, you will find Hakusetsu (Konishi Sake Brewery) and Old Pine. First, let's take a look at Old Pine. This time, Junmai Nama Nama sake, light nigori (light nigori). There is also nigorigo. A little bit cloudy. I feel like I'm getting drunk too fast... I went down in big gulps!

I stopped by a local old pine tree where I had some business to do and bought my first shibori. It was the first time to drink Hatsushibori, and I enjoyed the gap between it and the hiyaoroshi I drank last month. I had it while enjoying the difference from the hiyaoroshi I drank last month.

I had it with sea bream carpaccio and as the name suggests, it enhances the flavor of the fish dish😊. The sake alone is refreshing and delicious.

Schwarzenegger and Refreshing Aroma: Fruity, a little foamy attack. Taste: Fresh sweetness, low acidity. It goes in smoothly and has a refreshing aftertaste. Easy to drink at ABV 13. Aperitif and instant kill. Didn't hold up to seafood 🤣.

Local liquor 🍶 during the year-end and New Year's holidays Not exactly, but it's been a while since I've had local sake 🍶. Local sake that has started brewing modern taste from the classic brand before. One of the brands I want to support 🍾.

At home. The second item of the sake tasting party. Wakayama Rashomon. I had the impression that it was a famous sake with a harsh name and a long history, so I thought it would have a strong alcoholic taste, but no matter what, it's very easy to drink. It doesn't have a gorgeous aroma like Raifuku, but you can feel the sweetness of the rice strongly in your mouth, and it has a clear and light taste, so you can go as much as you want.

Purchased at the Shinsaibashi Takashimaya Department Store on the recommendation of a store clerk. Rice used is unknown. The richness of the original sake can be felt. It does not have much of a nama-zake character, and is clear and clean through the throat, making it a sake that you will never get tired of drinking. Because of its name, I had always assumed it was a sake from Kyoto. I️ was surprised to learn that it was the first Japanese sake to win the Monde Selection gold medal, and that Wakayama is proud of this world-class sake. My sincere apologies 🙏.

In honor of Mr. Lamb Man. I paired it with lamb dishes. It has a firm sweetness and with a refreshing aftertaste. Mitsuo Yamakawa's theme this year is "Encounter with Meat". I am looking forward to the summer and beyond.

Oki Daikichi Honten, Nishi-Shirakawa-gun, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan Natural Township Sawayaka Honjozo Even if it is called "Junmai Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Zake", you can drink it without thinking about it. I've had Shizenigo and Masamune, but is this the origin of this sake? I was most surprised.

A bottle placed in front of me The other is this one, Shizenkogo's Sawayaka! I didn't know there was such a brand! I looked it up on Sake-no-wa, and it was my first time to try it! I was curious to see what kind of sake it was, since it was a honjozo, but it was a beautiful dry sake that didn't feel like it had been alkaloated! I think it's a good sake to be heated up! Dishes lined up on the table one after another! I don't think our generation would be able to finish all the food at this pace! But it was a fun night of drinking and eating at our own pace! extensive knowledge Alcohol content: +15 Sake degree: +15 Acidity: undisclosed Rice used for making sake:Rice suitable for sake brewing Rice Polishing Ratio : Koji 60%, Kake 70% Condition : Fired

This is also in the Co-op catalog. The moment you put it in your mouth, it's refreshing and mild, but in the latter half, a fruity feeling comes. It has a strong feeling for its strength.

I was curious about it in an obfuscation kind of way, so I bought a trial. It's been sitting in my cellar for over a year for some reason, but let's see how it tastes 👀. When I opened the bottle and poured it, it was moist and had a peachy aroma. The mouthfeel is smooth and smooth, just like the name "Sarari". It is just as moist and slightly sweet as the aroma, and tastes just like a peach! The slightly green and sour taste gives the taste a hint of Mac's pickles 🍔. I didn't know that "chirp" means "birdsong. I've gained another piece of knowledge via sake 😌.

Light and sweet. The sweetness reminds me of bubble gum with the flavor of apple. The aftertaste is clean, short and slightly dry. Very enjoyable to drink on a warm evening.
