☀️ Saijo Sake Festival 2025🍶. Sake Hiroba ⛲️ There were many other Masamune brands, but I decided to pass since I have had Masamune before 😐. I decided to get some sake that intrigued me 😋. Despite its amber appearance, it has less of an aged feel 🤔. It tastes like it has one thick acidity in the middle and the sweetness covers the surrounding area. It was an interesting sake as a food sake 🤗. The third picture is the zone where you can take pictures with "Nonta-kun's sake label". It was set up again this year 😆.

Hi Hiro 😃. Saijo Sake Festival 🍶I'm drunk 🍶☺️ I'll pass since it was a Masamune I've had before, that's a phrase only Hiro-san can say 😁. Afs, I'm curious about the high temperature yamahai one-stage brewing, but I haven't had it yet, so I'd like to try it!

Hi Aladdin 😃 I've been on a Masamune hunt for so long that I've been drinking most of it 😅. AFS is a unique sake, isn't it? I could hardly feel the aged taste for the color 🤔If you see it, please try it: ❗️

☀️ Masamune Hunter Goes to Saijo Sake Festival🍶. Here's another Masamune that I haven't tasted yet 🦅. I'll have some before it's sold out 🤗. It has a clear color. The mouthfeel is sweet, with a hint of hackles on the nose. At the end, I thought it was sharp, which is typical of alcohol additions 🤗. Nice Masamune👍

☀️ Masamune Hunter Goes to Saijo Sake Festival🍶. One of the fun parts of attending the Saijo Sake Festival's "Sake Plaza" is hunting🤠. Hi, I found you 👀! Undrinkable Masamune ✨. Let's have it before it's sold out🤗 Slightly amber in color with a hint of ginjo aroma on the nose 🤔. It has a walnut sweetness and tastes like a typical honjozo sake, but it's actually a junmai sake 🌾🍶. Hmmm, strong alcohol taste without alcohol added... is it fermented a lot 🤔? I don't know 🤗 You might not even know it's junmai sake🍶 unless you look at the endorsement... it was that kind of sake 🍶. Nice Masamune👍

Good evening, Hiro! Festival or not, insatiable hunting 😁✨✨. Is it punchy? A bit of a habit? I have an impression of the sake 😋😋. Anyhow ~ nice Masamune 👍️

☀️ Saijo Sake Festival 2025🍶. Sake Hiroba ⛲️ I'm checking ✅ the list of exhibitors 🍶 and drinking 🍶. Fuji🗻, a power word that caught my attention 👀. Classic style with walnut sweetness and alcohol. Fuji🗻 so I thought it would be more refreshing taste, but it wasn't at all🙄. I guess I was wrong about Mt. Fuji 🌋.

☀️ Saijo Sake Festival 2025🍶. Sake Hiroba ⛲️ It is now evening and time for the "Sake Hiroba". Sake Hiroba is a paid area where you have to buy tickets in advance 🎫. You can enjoy sake from all over the country in the area surrounding the plaza 😁. Last year, all you had to do was pay the admission fee and then you could drink as much as you wanted, but this year it was a per drink ticket system 🎫. Geez, they are getting commercial 😣. Since there was a time limit, we were given a list of the sake on display at the entrance and we started with the sake that caught our eye 😌. It has a strong throat sensation. It is a walnut type with a strong sweetness. Even the junmai sake has a strong alcohol taste 🍶.

☀️ Saijo Sake Festival 2025🍶. Next we went to the main venue park ⛲️ I'm going to take a break and try a drink called "Lemon Sake Kash" 🍋. It seems to be Saijo sake 🍶 + lemon sour 🍋, not sure which brewery the sake 🍶 comes from🤔. After paying, I watched them making the lemon sour and they were pouring a jar of lemon sour 🍋 and then pouring it from a bottle 🍾 of Kamotsuru 👀. Too bold 🤣. Check in brand name is Kamotsuru 😄. We had it with pork skewers 🐷🤗.

☀️ Saijo Sake Festival 2025🍶. There were two breweries serving sake in vessels just like last year 🤗. ⚫︎Fukubijin Speaking of Fukubijin, it is Masu sake. The taste is indescribable, with a relaxing sweetness mixed with the fragrance of the wooden barrels 😊. ⚫︎ Kamoizumi Kamoizumi is known for its bamboo sake 🎋. The sake is a refreshing type and easy to drink. However, I felt the alcohol was strong. Perhaps it is a regular sake with alcohol added 🤔. I didn't notice it last year, but I guess I've learned to recognize it over the past year 😏. I'm sure the good booze has helped my taste buds 🤣.

☀️ Saijo Sake Festival 2025🍶. Next stop: Kamotsuru. Instead of the tasting zone right at the entrance, we went into the premier sake zone, which is a bit further back 😁. There is a gold medal winning sake and a Junmai Daiginjo Hiroshima Nishiki. The Gold Award-winning sake was unexpectedly expensive, so I got the Hiroshima Nishiki 😋. You can pick up the flavor of the rice 🌾 and the delayed bitterness. There is a refreshing acidity, although it is not clearly perceptible. The more I drank, the more the umami of the rice🌾 stood out, and it was clean and dry. This year, it was a collaboration with Chibo. It is an interesting experiment unique to the event, and it is very festive. ⤴️

☀️ Here we are again this year at the Saijo Sake Festival🍶. Drinkers are coming from all over the country. ...I am one of them 🤣. First of all, from Sanyotsuru 👉. What is KUBO🤔? Well, ok, just drink it and you'll understand 😆. Slight sweetness and umami. Slight sweetness and umami, with the occasional tangy sake-like sensation. It has a rich ginjo aroma and even though it's a dry strain, it feels very rich. Sanyotsuru is always very strong. It's been a while since I've had a bottle, so I bought a limited edition sake from the brewery 😆. Looks just right for tonight's hotel sake 🤣. A good start ✨

☀️ This is a Halloween🎃 label that has been posted on many Sake Wawa. I only bought this one here 💁 for refrigerator reasons. It is slightly carbonated🫧 and has a strawberry🍓 like sweetness and light acidity😙. There is a bit of astringency at the end and I'm wondering if it's more apple🍎 leaning? I'm not sure 😅. Fresh with a slurpy throat! The refreshing sweetness will help you to shed the fatigue of the day and refresh you 🥰. After a day, it became a little rounder, and after 2 days, it became even rounder and felt like a freshly picked peach 🍑. I also enjoyed the taste changes that bewildered me day after day 🤗.

☀️ Looks like day 2 of the bottle opening 🤔 The manager. 'We've got a pattern on the label from this year. At first I thought it was frost and wiped it off hard😅". 😅" and brought it to us. It is hard to see with the naked eye, but the pattern is clearly visible in the photo 📸. The aroma is the usual "unrefined? I think 🤔. Slightly carbonated🫧 and rounded sweetness, sweeter than Yamadanishiki and close to Miyamanishiki😚. I wonder if it inherited the Miyamanishiki-like sweetness of its parents 🧐. Neither Nanbu Bijin nor Eiko Fuji had such a soft sweetness using Sake Mirai 🤔. I thought, I asked the manager, He said, "It's the rice grown by Takagi Sake Brewery. I asked the manager, "It's the rice grown by Takagi Sake Brewery, so it's probably the rice that Jyushiyo made to be most easily expressed. It might be natural that it tastes the best. He said, "It is the rice grown by Takagi Sake Brewery. I see, you are right. 🙂‍↕️ So, this is the original sake future. I learned another thing about sake while enjoying the endless spread of ginjo aroma 🤗.

☀️ Because it's Mr. Morishima, I thought it would be crisp, but it's mellow😊. I thought it would be hard, but it's soft😊. You think it's dry, but it's gentle and sweet 😊. In the words of J&N, let's call it "clumsy dry" 😉. Morishima-san's Miyamanishiki has a different taste that I enjoyed 🤗.

☀️ I'll have some sweetness after the dry ones 😋. The taste of rice and sweetness 🌾. The sweetness of the rice is moist and calm, which is typical of Tenmei 😚. Perhaps it was the aging of the hiyaoroshi sake, but the unique sweetness had a deeper, more atmospheric flavor 🤗.

☀️ It has the same label as the moon after the rain, so they must be a pair with the same concept 🤔. So I opened a bottle after the moon after rain 🌕🍶. It's crisp and clean with almost no sweetness 😎 and no acidity at all. No acidity at all ❗️ Almost no umami either‼️ And yet somehow it tastes good🤔❓ It starts with an aroma that foreshadows minerals, then a slight tangy carbonation on the tongue🫧. It tastes like crystal clear water💧, yet the bitterness that lingers afterwards is the only taste sensation that can be captured. The expression from the first sip to the swallow is truly reminiscent of a dragon rising to the heavens🐉⤴️🙄. The fact that the taste seems so simple is a sign of absolute confidence in the quality of the sake 🤔. I thought it was one of the best in recent years for a clean and transparent type. The way the flavor changes as it approaches room temperature is also enjoyable, and it's fun to drink it slowly 😁. After getting drunk, the "muffled" feeling of the ginjo aroma passing through the nostrils is unbearable 🤗.
