National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_55 Fukui Prefecture Booth ⑦ Hatakeyama Sake Brewery is located in Imajo, an inn town in Minami-Echizen-cho, Nanjo-gun. Representative brands are Yuki Kirara and Hyakkibune. ◉Yuki Kirara Sakahomare Junmai Daiginjo The flavor is citrusy, acidic, and slightly reminiscent of yogurt. It is quite likeable and delicious. It is a small brewery with only three people working on it, but they will be awarded the Kura Master Platinum in 2023 for this sake. When I drink Sakahomare, I often associate it with yogurt with citrus.

National Sake Fair 2025 part52 Fukui Prefecture⑥ Hatakeyama Sake Brewery in Minami Echizen Town Snow Kirara has been bartered with Mr. Jive for a drink in the past. Polishing ratio 40%, SakaHomare 15%, Sake degree +1, Acidity 1.8 3,630 yen Beautiful and muscat-like. I thought it was interesting to see the gap between the sake quality and that of the rough or first pressing 🤔. I forgot to take a picture of it, so I borrowed it from Mr. Neemuchi.

Japanese>English

Purchased directly from the brewery. It is a junmai sake, which means that the complex rice flavor comes first, followed by the bitterness of alcohol and a hint of sweetness.

Long time no see Kobe 🚃. The hills are amazing😅. I stopped by Sannomiya Hankyu and bought some Nada sake 🍶. The label looked good, so I chose Amber Izumi Jungin. It is a clear, fruity, dry sake. It is mildly sharp. It's a beautiful sake, easy to drink without any peculiarities 😋♪ I'm glad I bought it👍 I'm looking forward to enjoying more of Nada as there are so many unknown sakes 😙.

Dry Junmai 🍶 Unfiltered Nama Sake ✨ Crisp and dry 😳. A little grassy. Soft and mellow when paired with pickled sardines ☺️ As the owner says he wants to make snacks that go well with sake, every menu item (3rd photo) captures the hearts of sake lovers. It's a nice place 😆. KUITTO@Yono 20230819

Is this your first time to try oregano? It is juicy and sweet. I've said it many times, but Izumi Shuzo is the best sake in Nada.

There's more past drinking and outside drinking 🤣. Kirinzan Potari Potari Gohyakumangoku (Junmai Ginjyo Nama sake) Unlike Koshitanrei, this one is very juicy in both aroma and taste. ❗️ It's really like a white grape! The sweet and sour taste reminds me of wine. ❗️ This one is also nostalgic and delicious👍

7.5 points (wife: 7 points) Rice type : Manzai, Kakemai, Chiyonishiki Rice Polishing Ratio: 70 Alcohol content : 15 Where purchased: Charcoal BBQ KIZUNA (It is a neighborhood barbecue restaurant where you can enjoy rare parts of black hair on a shichirin, and the owner is a sake lover and always has several kinds of local sake available) Slightly melon-like topping The cherry-like aroma, soft rice flavor, and subtle sweetness mixed with the top-brewing aroma gradually spread out with a clean acidity and are quickly quenched by a slight bitterness and the dryness of the alcohol. This sake has a gentle, somewhat classical impression. It is better served with a meal than as a stand-alone sake. Goes well with various kinds of grilled meat.

Japanese>English

I bought it yesterday along with Futaba. This time it was recommended to me as a special sake again. It tastes drier, fresher and punchier than Futari. The alcohol content is 17% and it's like a Mikawa-bushi. 1415yen

White peaches, strawberry gum, and a nice smell of sake lees on the sales floor. I have a feeling it's already delicious. Juicy syrup with a fruity taste, sweet sourness runs when you try to swallow. Once the taste fades, there is a slight effervescence, a light but not persistent sweetness, and a numbing sensation at the back of the tongue. Occasional bitterness. Overall, it is an elegant sweet sake with a sense of transparency. It is better to drink it in small sips rather than gulping it down.

Japanese>English

Smells of peach, sake lees, and cream. Slightly effervescent, with a tangy, popping acidity, a slight sweetness and bitterness, it has a unique flavor and is clear to drink. It is a dangerous drink that can be drunk like water, as if the tongue becomes numb. My legs are dizzy. Delicious.

Bouken-san told me about it before, and I've become a fan of Watashibune's new sake 😚. But it's made with 100% short-stemmed Watashibune. I think this brand is as good as my favorite Genmai which I opened just before. The aroma is like a grape🍇, and in the mouth you can feel a very thin gas and a gentle sweetness. The aroma and taste are well integrated, and the transparent flavor fades out with a slight bitterness, which is brilliant 😆. Today I paired it with a yose-nabe with agaric broth, and the complex broth of the seafood and the flavor of this sake matched so strangely that I could really linger and eat and drink forever... It's still Monday, so I had to call it quits 😅.

You don't feel the sweetness? It's delicious, isn't it? I would like to repeat a bottle, but I think there are only two bottles left. I don't have enough space in my fridge, so I'll give up.
