A quick review of the 2nd National Sake Breweries' Sake and Talks @ Kyoto Miyako Messe (R6.8.31)! We will skip further from here! Matsuya Jiken by Matsuya Sake Brewery (Fujioka City, Gunma Prefecture), which brews Ryuki. When brewed, it showed unexpectedly high acidity, and consumers would be surprised if it was marketed as "Ryuki" as is! So they decided to call it "Matsuya Jihen" for this reason. And for some reason, they also got the approval of Mr. Takeshima of Laughing Four Seasons, who brews "Takeshima Incident" 😁. The back etiquette says "Ryuki" in small letters, so it seems to be part of the Ryuki series. When I drank it, I found that it was not that acidic, but rather a summer sake with acidity. Recently, there are many sake made with white or black malted rice with citric acidity, so I felt it was mild and easy to drink compared to those types. This is an interesting way of releasing sake.

A brief review of the 2nd National Sake Breweries' Sake and Talks @ Kyoto Miyako Messe. Matsuyama Sake Brewery's "Jyuseki". The toji, Mr. Yukio Takagaki, and the publicist, Mr. Sakai, were both there in yukata (summer kimono). Mr. Takagaki has been brewing Gekkeikan's sake for many years and is still striving for his ideal of sake brewing, but when we talked, he was very friendly and seemed like an old man I knew. He was like an old man I knew. He would sometimes ask me if we shouldn't drink, which made me feel at home 😁. This time, there was a bottle of jukkoku zenshu and a not-for-sale bottle of oorigarami from the brewery! The unlabeled four-pack bottle is the orikarami! The mild fruity aroma is beautifully fragrant, and the texture is soft and gentle when you drink it. It is so delicious that we asked them if they would commercialize it, but they said it was too much trouble to bottle 😅. I also drank the Ramune-like Summer and the mellow Autumn, and finished with the standard. The sake has a beautiful quality that conveys that it was brewed carefully and properly, and the taste has a core that conveys the concept of each sake. It is delicious. I have come to love Matsuyama Sake Brewery and Jyuseki once again. ☺️

Hi Hirupeko 😃 It is very important to know the person who brews the sake. ☺️ Mr. Takagaki went out of the booth at the end and poured sake around, which reminded me of the origin of the name "Jyuseki", which means "to deliver sake as if going to meet on a ten-stone boat" 😊.

The 2nd Annual Sake and Talks from Sake Breweries across Japan A quick review of @Kyoto Miyako Messe. The last sake from Nanyo Jozo was a Junmai Ginjo of Hana-yoso Yamadanishiki. It is a direct-drafted, unfiltered, raw sake with a rice polishing ratio of 55%. The stained glass-like design of the bottle here is more familiar and has a HanayoYukyu feel to it 😁. This sake was personally the freshest and most vivid this time, and both the aroma and taste were somehow close in focal distance and vivid. Maybe it was just that it was well chilled😅. The aroma is fresh and sweet, like a freshly cut and well chilled pineapple. The taste is also fruity and delicious, with a pleasant gas shriek and fresh, juicy sweetness and acidity! As it flowed from the mouth to the back of the throat, I could taste the beautiful umami of the rice and the slight bitterness at the end of the finish was just right, so I finished it quickly. I wanted to drink more of this! I thought, "I want to drink more of this! I had a preconceived notion that Hanayokyu had a bitter taste. This time, I thought that the bitterness and bitter aftertaste might be stronger from the latter half to the after-flavor, depending on the brand, but I personally enjoyed it. It was a valuable opportunity! Thanks for the treat 🍶.

A brief review of the "2nd National Sake Breweries' Sake and Talks" @ Kyoto Miyako Messe. Two sakes from Nanyo Jozo's Hanayo Kuyu. HANAHEIKAKU THE PREMIUM Yamadanishiki Junmai Daiginjo, 40% Polishing, Unfiltered Nama-shu, Direct Pumping. and HANAYOSHIYUKU Yamadanishiki Junmai Daiginjyo Bottled Unfiltered Nama-shu The rice used for the sake is also Yamadanishiki. The rice is the same Yamadanishiki rice, polished to 40%. The only difference between the two is whether it is a pure sake or a bottle-enclosed sake. My tasting ability was so poor that they were like twins, so I put them together. It is slightly orikara, and from the first sight, it has a fresh and lively feeling. The aroma is gorgeous and youthful. Perhaps it was because there were too many other fruity liquors on the day, but it didn't have the same freshness! It has a gorgeous aroma with a sense of calmness and quality. The taste is fresh from the moment you taste it. The taste is fresh from the moment it enters the mouth, with a soft, silky sweetness and gentle acidity spreading out in a mellow but fresh way. The wine is not too rich and juicy, but still has a sharp edge. The lingering finish is rather long, and the bitterness is well balanced. I was fooled by my preconceived notions and the flashiness of the bottle, but the aroma and flavor were more subdued than I expected.

「第二回全国酒蔵の日本酒とトークを楽しむ会」@京都みやこメッセのざっくりレビュー。 このままだと今年はずっとこのイベントのお酒のチェックインになるからペース上げないと！ 南陽醸造（埼玉県）さんの花陽浴です。 このイベントには今年初参加されました。 いや、こんなにたくさん花陽浴が並んでるのを見たのは初めてでした！ 壮観！ 最初にいただいたのは、プレミアムの美山錦。 花陽浴のプレミアム自体、多分初めて飲むような気がします。 花陽浴を飲むときはどうしても🍍の香りを想像してしまいますが、こちらは想像より控えめな香りに、白玉団子のような米感が割と豊かに感じました。 軽ーくおりがらみだったと思います。 味わいは、仄かなチリ感もありつつ、しっかりしながらさっぱりした甘味酸味が流れる感じで、中盤以降に仄かな苦味もありつつふわっとキレる。 という感じだったと思います。 薄さはないけど濃すぎない感じ。 今回の花陽浴の中ではこのプレミアムの美山錦が最初に無くなってました。

A brief review of the "2nd National Sake Breweries' Sake and Talks" @ Kyoto Miyako Messe. The second sake from Kangiku Meikozo was Sake Mirai. I didn't feel like I could buy this one, as the shipment was quite limited, or it was quite a rare character. Of course, I had never had it before, so this was the first time I had it. I got the impression that it had a higher resolution or focus than Leap Day. The aroma is moderately fruity, and the rice aroma is moderate compared to the leap day. The flavor is also moderately juicy. The balance of sweetness and sourness is good, and the taste is typical of Kangiku, but it is not cloying and has a sense of transparency. It has a good sharpness and a moderate aftertaste. Sake Mirai is being released by various sake breweries these days, but my personal impression is that there is a clear difference between a thicker and a lighter flavor. I thought that Kangiku's Sake Mirai was well-balanced, not swinging to either side. It was so beautiful and delicious that I wish I had bought a bottle to enjoy it at home.

A brief review of the "2nd National Sake Breweries' Sake and Talks" @ Kyoto Miyako Messe. Kangiku Meikozo in Chiba. The only regular sake available all year round is Matsuo Boast, a local Chiba-only brand, and the rest are the annual super-limited Occasional series and Ocean99 series. I love their juicy, fresh, sweet and delicious sake with a gaseous taste! Personally, I was looking forward to this event as I did last year because, along with Hananoka Shuzo, Kangiku Meikozo never gives me a chance to meet the brewery's staff. The first sake I was served was Junjitsu (leap day). This is a special sake brewed only once every four years on leap year and pressed on leap day (February 29). The ratio of polished rice is 29%, which is also a leap day! I'm glad I haven't had a chance to drink it. ☺️ A little hazy on the lees and a hint of gas 🫧. The aroma is rich and complex, with a powdery rice aroma that is more like polished rice than fruity for a Kangiku. The taste is pleasantly gaseous and stimulating, with the clean sweetness of Gohyakumangoku combined with acidity spreading across the palate, while a slight bitterness, astringency, and other complex tastes can be sensed due to the orikara flavor. It is not bad, which was unexpected since I had imagined it to be a very clean sake. I moved on to the next sake, thinking how difficult it is to make a sake with a fixed pressing date.

A brief review of the "2nd National Sake Breweries' Sake and Talks" @ Kyoto Miyako Messe. At Shintani Sake Brewery, where Wakamusume is brewed, we had two other sakes in addition to Tsubamezuka. Tropical Bunbun, named after Toshi Fumiko's nickname, and Botan, brewed with Omachi. Both were limited-edition sake bottles from the brewery. Both of them were painfully missing individual bottles, etc. 😌. Incidentally, Usuka-Zakura and Hana-Tachibana were also limited editions, and Juni-Hisiro was also limited edition! I wanted to drink all of them and was going to come back later but ran out of time in the end and couldn't make it back 🥲. Tropical Bunbun has a fresh pineapple-like aroma with a gassy mouthfeel and a refreshing sweet-sour taste that reminds me of juicy, sweet passion fruit. Peony has a calm, fruity aroma and a juicy, sweet and delicious taste that is graceful and full. Wakamusume is fresh and gassy to begin with, so it is even fresher now that it has been made into a medium-bodied wine. When we asked for his autograph, Mr. Fumiko Shintani, the brewery's chief brewer, was very kind to accept our request even though he was concerned that his handwriting was not good. I would like to continue to support him 🍶.

The 2nd Annual National Sake Breweries' Sake and Talks" @ Kyoto Miyako Messe, hosted by Sake-Taker Nissigawa. *Comments are rough 🙇*. Shintani Sake Brewery brews Wakamusume. Ms. Fumiko Shintani, the toji (master brewer), was there. Wakamusume is one of my favorite sake, fruity, sweet and delicious and strikes my taste buds. I was so happy to meet and talk with Ms. Shintani, whom I have seen on Instagram on a regular basis, that I couldn't speak well 😅. The first one I was given was Tsubamezukabana. Kakitsubata. It is the flagship sake of Wakamusume, which has won many awards both at home and abroad. I painfully forgot to take pictures of the individual bottles and the back etiquettes. The fruity aroma is vivid, yet fine, even luxurious, beyond my expectations. The first touch of the palate is gentle and smooth, with a fruity sweetness. The balance with the acidity is excellent, and the sweet and tasty acidity flows through the mouth as if playing a tone, and it finishes sharply. The lingering aroma is also fruity with hints of incense. Excellent ☺️ I will definitely buy it next time 🍶.

The 2nd National Sake Breweries' Sake and Talk Party @ Kyoto Miyako Messe, hosted by Sake-Taker Nissigawa. *Comments are more sketchy than usual 🙇. This was the third sake at Hayakawa Shuzo, which brews Tamitsu. It is a Junmai Daiginjo of Omachi. The Junmai Daiginjo has a fine aroma that is not too gorgeous, and the aroma of Omachi rice is beautiful and very intoxicating. The taste has a different intensity from the special junmai, very clean and fine, yet the firm sweetness of the rice is pleasantly in harmony with the acidity, and a firm umami can also be felt, and it finishes nicely. The aftertaste is also long and wonderful. The special junmai brought out all the flavor of Omachi, while the junmai daiginjo brought out the best parts of Omachi. It was wonderful. I was not told about it on the spot, so I was uninformed, but this was a gold medal-winning sake from the National New Sake Competition of 2023BY. I noticed it when I saw the photo at the time of this posting. The sake brewer did not boast about it, nor did he put his nose to it (although I like that kind of brewery). I fell in love with Mr. Hayakawa, who talked about sake politely with a soft expression on his face, and this sake. It would be expensive to buy it, but I want to buy it. Thank you very much for your hospitality 🍶.

The second sake at Hayakawa Shuzo, which brews Tamitsu, was an Omachi junmai ginjo. The rice polishing ratio is 50%, a little more polished than special junmai. The aroma is not that spectacular, but it is more beautiful with less rice aroma than that of special junmai. The taste is also more beautiful than Tokusyujunmai, and yet, as is typical of Tamitsu, the sweetness and umami of the rice can still be felt and is still delicious. ☺️ The special junmai is more intense or more aggressive, so the junmai ginjo that I drank right after it may be a little less impressive. The aroma is also moderate for a junmai ginjo, and I thought it was perfect for Japanese cuisine that makes the most of light ingredients.

The 2nd National Sake Breweries' Sake and Talk Party @ Kyoto Miyako Messe, hosted by Sake-Taker Nissigawa. Please forgive me if my comments are more sketchy than usual 🙇. Hayakawa Shuzo brews Tabika. The brewery is a pure rice brewery and presses all of their sake in a tank. Mr. Toshihito Hayakawa, the head brewer, visited the brewery. When I asked him which sake he recommended, he said, "We focus on Omachi, so please try Omachi! I asked him which sake he recommended, and he replied, "We focus on Omachi, so please drink Omachi! We started with the special junmai. It tasted like all the flavors of Omachi were honestly expressed. I (personally) have the impression that some Omachi sake tends to be acidic, but this one had none of that and tasted like "Omachi🌾" in a straightforward manner. ☺️ The aroma and taste have no unpleasant parts or corners, yet the strength of Omachi can be felt, and the slight bitterness is also intoxicating, just like Tokujun. ☺️ I have always liked Tamitsu, but there is nothing like meeting the master brewer, listening to his stories, and having him pour the sake for you 🍶.

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 😊.

The 2nd Annual National Sake Brewery's Sake and Talk Party. Here is the highlight of this year's event from Hananoka Sake Brewery, which brews San-do. San-do Hozu Masujuno Brewery. It is not for sale yet. Sundo represents the elements of terroir with "Nozomi". The basic concept is to use rice from the Kikuchi River watershed and to use the "ni-no-nozo" method of making sake from raw materials. From there, the Ten Nozomi is (supposedly) made without fertilizers, pesticides, direct seeding, single palm planting, hand harvesting, hanging rice on a rack, brewing in wooden vats, and no yeast added. According to the brewer, Kanda, the JUNOUNOUNOUNOUNOUSHI has just started and the flavor has a thin line, giving a strong impression of minerality, but as the earth gains strength, the flavor will become deeper and stronger 🤔. As the farm brew goes up, the price also goes up 😅. Personally, I don't see much correlation between the higher farm brew and the taste, I think that the producing land is about drinking the climate and culture (and paying for that). Ten-noujozo is orikara and slightly effervescent. The aroma is delicate, and while the rice aroma is rather rich, the lees-derived koji aroma and woody aroma are complex and delicate. The taste is also delicate, with a hint of sweetness and umami, the gentle acidity of orikara, and the wild bitterness of hozu, all with a sense of transparency. The finish is more mineral and watery than usual. I am looking forward to the future evolution, deepening, and true evolution of the production area 🌾🍶.

The 2nd National Sake Brewery Sake and Talk Event @ Kyoto Miyako Messe. This is an annual sake event held by Kyoto's "Sake-taker Nissigawa" in cooperation with Koyama Shoten. We had a lot of beautiful sake. ☺️ Here is the toast that was served first. Azumamine sake brewer Azumamine Brewery created this sake for sake drinker Nissigawa as a PB sake for Koyama Shoten. It is written "Nishi-Komine" (西小嶺), which means "Nishi-Mine" in Japanese. At the standing tasting event-like venue, we received a cup of this sake at the entrance and took pictures of the sake before the start of the event to get in the mood while suppressing our eagerness to try it 📷 President Nishikawa gave the opening speech, followed immediately by the toast. The toast was given by Mr. Motoi Sato, the brewer of Azumamine Shuzo. I was impressed by the subtle atmosphere in the hall as he toasted with his wonderful talk about how a brewer must be honest, mixed with the worst kind of vulgar jokes 😅. The sake was slightly pale yellow-gold in appearance. The aroma is mild, but has a legitimate impression of koji sweetness and acidity typical of sake. The taste is of a type where the sweetness and umami of the rice can be honestly felt, yet it is also very drinkable. It was well chilled, which made it easy to drink, but I would like to try it heated.

This is the third sake we visited before the typhoon hit. This is "Bunraku Reborn Moon Sherbet". We had Sairai the other day at home, so we selected this sake in connection with the Northwest Shuzo Brewery. Mr. Kawada, the owner, told us "It will disappear when you drink it. when he was pouring it. The appearance is silver crystal. The aroma is gentle, fresh, and sweet. When drinking, the first touch is soft and sweet. A fluffy sweetness spreads, light acidity leaves, and a light malty nuance. Then, it disappears. There is almost no aftertaste and a slight astringency on the tongue. It was definitely a vanishing type sake. Low-alcoholic, easy-drinking, soft sake. I went to the last sake of the day, imagining that the moon sherbet was like this with low gravity.

Hi Aladdin 🐦. Your choice of word "disappear" is exquisite ✨I've never had a drink, but I know what you mean because it happens to me sometimes 😆. I'm sure the conversation will be great because it's with you Aladdin 😊👍.

Hi Pon 😃. I had an image of it zeroing in clearer and faster than "disappearing." 😄 I had almost a private drink with Mr. Kawada that day, so it was fun to learn a lot of things and talk about sake while tasting slowly ☺️

We visited standing drinking chuin before the typhoon hit. The second sake was Kurosawa Namahoshi Shinshu Wine Barrel Aged. It is a pure rice sake brewed by Kurosawa Shuzo using Kinmon-Nishiki and aged in a local wine barrel for two summers. A relative of Kurosawa Shuzo's brewer is in the wine brewing business and provided the wine barrels to make this sake possible. The appearance is a pale rosé color with strong transparency. It is hard to tell from the photo, but at a glance it does not look like sake. The aroma is also close to that of rosé wine, with a slight grain and cream cheese taste. The taste has a dry first touch. The taste of light dryness with umami flavor spreads in the mouth, then acidity passes to the nose, and the tannin astringency converges and finishes. The alcohol level is firm but not sharp due to aging. The taste is sake at the entrance and wine at the exit. The overall balance is dry and quite intoxicating. ☺️ This sake is not just an oddity, but a well-considered sake that broadens the range of sake. While talking with the owner, Mr. Kawada, about how he brewed the original sake with this finish in mind and how he thought about the sake quality design when doing so, we moved on to the next sake.

I visited my usual stand-up drinking place, CHUIN, before the typhoon hit as there was quite a gap between visits. Today, we started with a reverse Yaemon. Yaemon! It is a limited edition sake only available at Uekiya Shoten, a sake shop in Aizu. There is no label on the sake itself, so it is not registered, but it is said to be an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. The appearance is silver crystal, almost transparent. The aroma is... rice vinegar😳. This is completely the aroma of rice vinegar. The aroma is like a pillar of rice grain feeling in the stimulation of the acidity. This is quite a strange sake. When you sip it, the taste starts with a gentle rice sweetness, and then the sweet and sour taste spreads and sharpens as the acidity quickly flows through the bottom of the bottle. A mellow milkiness can also be felt, and the vinegariness is refreshing. It is honestly delicious😳. The owner, Mr. Kawada, also said, "I put it in every year because it is delicious. It is a very interesting sake that is quite hard to drink in terms of aroma, but as long as you drink it, you will be able to tell how good it tastes. While talking with Mr. Kawada about how this unprecedented aroma and flavor was produced, we moved on to the next sake.

Hi Aladdin 😀 Sounds like a pretty quirky and kinky drink 🤣. As for the first attack being vinegar... I'd probably give up at that moment 🤣.

Good evening, Yasbay 😃. The only thing that makes it rice vinegar is the aroma, the taste is completely different (although there is a slight vinegar feel)! I think if you put it in your mouth, you would understand it, but it's an aroma that seems to be very difficult 😅.

Good evening, Nochi 😃. I see you've been drinking! It is the type of alcohol that a good percentage of people get off at the point of aroma, and since alcohol is a taste, it is best to take what suits your taste! I'm learning and have a wide strike zone 😁.

I got this one today on a recent business trip 🍶. Sairai's Starry Night Altair. Sairai means "the arrival of world-changing sake from Sai-no-kuni (Saitama Prefecture)" based on the concept of color. Altair is the first star of the constellation of Eagle, one of the great triangles of summer, the so-called Hikoboshi star. ⭐️ The appearance is pale yellow-green crystal. The aroma is fresh and gorgeous. Pear and grapefruit are the main flavors, with muscatel, melon, berries, and discreet white flowers. There is also a hint of rice aroma like powdery Kamishinko and white dumplings, with subtle mineral nuances. From the slightly light first touch, there is a gentle stimulation of gas. Elegant, fruity sweetness spreads smoothly and mingles with smooth, fine acidity. There is also a chilliness of acidity like stars twinkling in the night sky. The balance of acidity including light acidity and gentle sweetness is white strawberry. The wine flows smoothly without any hooks and is sharp. The lingering finish is medium and leaves a bitter astringent taste like white grape skins. It was a gorgeous and sweet sake that was easy to sip in the midst of the continuing heat wave (only for Sairai 😁). It is perfect for sipping a glass of wine while watching the night sky at the end of a departing summer 🌌.

Hi Aladdin 😀 I like Sairai too, but as far as I know there is only one store in Kansai that carries it and it's hard to get it 😅. My current job doesn't allow me to travel at all, and I envy those who go to other areas on business 🤣.

Good morning, Aladdin! ［I see that there is a sake named after "Altair" at "Sairai" 😲. The Tanabata bottle of "DATE SEVEN" is intoxicating, but I'd love to drink it with this one and "Abe VEGA"✨.

Good evening, Yasubeyesan 😃. I only know of one liquor store in Kansai that you visited before 😌. I think it would be more enjoyable for you and your wife to move around energetically on your days off like Mr. Yasbaye does, because of the restrictions of traveling for work. ☺️

Good evening, Jive 😃. The Tanabata drinking comparison between Abestar series and Sairai Starry Night sounds fun 🌌😊. If only some other brewery would brew a "Deneb" so we could have a big triangular summer drinking comparison 😁.

Good evening, Pon-chan 😃. When I saw your post about your summer trip to Kansai, I felt like buying some sake, so I slipped a cool bag into my business trip luggage. I could only buy Sairai and one more bottle 😅.
