water shield (Brasenia schreberi) I think I've been seeing them a lot lately. I had been to Jiayonggura on a trip after Corona. This is a new brand of Suehiro Sake Brewery, announced in April 2024. Until then, it was considered a sake for the sake competition. The Kaegura is designated as a national tangible cultural property and is popular as a tourist brewery. It was named after Tanaka Harunaka, a famous retainer of the Aizu domain.

(カワダ調べ)
Sugata (era during the Edo period, 1600-1867) It was a bit of a mystery to me that it was a goldfish for being a yukata sugata. I thought it was a Ryukin, but I guess it is a Demekin. The name "Sugatami no Ike" comes from a legendary pond near the brewery (related to the legend of Ya Hyakuhigauni), and it expresses the desire for sake that is as clear as a mirror.

Eikouji era (1113.7.13-1118.4.3) It was just before Tanabata, the day of the summer solstice, and I was eating an octopus. The name comes from the fact that the character for "Eiko" was added to the original sake name "Fuji" when the brewery was first founded to express the wish for prosperity. It is also said that the symmetrical character "Eiko-Fuji" represents the brewery's philosophy of "sake brewing without backs and sides.

Machida Shuzo Miyamanishiki We had this because the sake, which was too carbonated and difficult to drink, had just been opened. It was delicious. The snack was the ultimate Negitoro (negitoro) mixed with hon tuna and southern bluefin tuna for 600 yen. It was named after the brewery's name in hopes of spreading the name of the brewery. Currently, the brewery is led by fifth-generation brewer Akiya Machida and his wife Emi Machida, who is the toji (chief brewer), and they make sake together as a couple.

Eikou Fuji hoshimatsuri (species of buddleia, Buddleja mandshurica var. japonica) It looks like Machida Sake Brewery is coming tomorrow 7/14 to Ueno Gyoso. I just heard about Angel 4 at some place and would like to go but time may be difficult. The name of the sake comes from the character for "glory" that was added to the original sake name "Fuji" when the company was founded, with a wish for prosperity. It is also said that the symmetrical character "Eiko Fuji" represents the brewery's philosophy of "sake brewing without backs and sides.

Hongqin (China) A refreshingly sour food sake. The name was chosen to express both the meaning of brewing the true best sake (honkin) and the "no back-and-forth business" implied in the symmetrical characters.

Kawana Kazima Gembu Shusenkrano Unfortunately, I forgot to give it to you after drinking it two weeks ago, so I don't remember what it tasted like, but it was delicious. I want to make a sake that has a transient quality that will soon disappear like a phantom, but has a deliciousness in it that makes you want to dance unintentionally. That is the starting point of "Genmai. The image of Mai is based on Uemura Matsuen's Jyunomai. The toji is Mariko Chino, the brewer's only daughter.

Kankik Ocean Ninety-Nine Horseshoe Aroma like pineapple or mango and strong sweetness. Delicious. Mr. Yanagishita, the toji, originally worked as an aircraft mechanic for JAL at Narita Airport, but his attachment to his hometown of Chiba and his desire to "do work that only I can do" led him to the sake brewing industry. After joining Kangiku Meikozo in the beer brewing department, he was selected to be the toji (master brewer), despite his lack of experience, when the previous master brewer retired. He initially trained under his predecessor and is now in charge of sake brewing as a toji. The name "Kangiku" is said to have come from the appearance of Kangiku (chrysanthemums that bloom in winter), which bloom strongly and beautifully even in the coldest season.

Murasaki-period mutual aid association (i.e. for mutual aid and assistance in the treatment of disabled persons) I had it with a mouthful. It smells like drench cherries and has a strong sweet taste. The brand name is derived from the surname of the brewer, "Murayama," and "Yu" means "to help and bring happiness. The brand also incorporates the German wine concept of ranking wines based on sweetness (the sweeter the wine, the higher the rank).

Miyoshikikuあなたと地獄に堕ちたい

(カワダ調べ)
Asteraceae flowering plant (Parasenecio delphiniifolius) A hidden sake that I was allowed to drink at the restaurant for various reasons. I think it may have been because it had been a while, but at first it smelled like persimmon juice, and when I drank it, I found sour apples. The aftertaste is natto, and overall, it is a creature-like sake with a strong natural wine-like habit. I'm glad I only had half a bottle...by the way, my neighbor who drank it with me had a really great palate. Not recommended for beginners. I got the impression that it was like Kumezakura Chalcis ethnic sake. The name "Miyoshikiku" means "its fragrance is fragrant, its color is light, and its taste is beautiful", which is a reference to Miyoshi City where it is located. The fifth-generation brewer and toji, Ryoichiro Umamiya, has been attracting attention for his unconventional sake brewing and pop labels in the spirit of "Walking on the Wild Side"! He is also active in passing on the tradition to the next generation, with a direct farmer connection to the brewery and the daughters of his three sisters involved in the sake making process!

river in which worshippers wash their hands (and rinse their mouth) prior to entering a shrine I couldn't taste much. Maybe it was because it was a little long. Maybe slightly dry, slightly fruity. Maybe I was also drinking Miyoshikiku at the time so I almost didn't taste it. I thought I would try to buy u next time. The name comes from the Tetori River, a raging river that symbolizes Ishikawa Prefecture, which flows right by the brewery.
