☀️ The 12th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower🍶. The person in charge of Shijikizuru-san was in front of the booth. He was giving some kind of explanation and we decided to wait 🤗. Hmmm... Umeshu and sake... My turn came 😁. ⚫︎Shimeharihari Tsuru Jun It has a crisp taste that is typical of Niigata 😙. It has a thin, soft sweetness that makes it easy to drink 😄. ⚫︎Umeshu I'm not used to drinking plum wine 🥃. They make it with plums, sugar and sake 🤔. It seems to have a strong sweetness and a thick flavor that is perfect for sipping 😁. ⚫︎ plum wine Shimejirizuru Junwari The person in charge said, "Please leave half of the plum wine. The person in charge said, "Please leave half of the plum wine. ❗️ Then what do you think⁉️ The sweetness was reduced and the balance of sweetness became superb 😳. This is easier than drinking those sweet sake 🤔... Rough trick of splitting the sake with Shimehari Tsuru, as expected from Shimehari Tsuru 😆. As the first part of the event came to an end, I had a chance to say hello to the two members of Sake-no-wa and left the venue 🚶. This is the end of my post on the Japanese Sake Festival 🤗.

☀️ The 12th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower🍶. ⚫︎ Saku Masanochi Nakadori There was a huge line at the beginning of the festival, so we tried to get it at the end when it was empty 😚. The sweetness of the sake makes you feel relaxed ☺️ The bitter taste comes out later, but the aroma is softly wafting and leaves a lingering aftertaste. I thought "Nakatori" was different from the others 🥰. ⚫︎ Keishin Koshigaraku The rice used for this sake is called "Koshigaraku. Sweet and sour like apple🍎 with a little carbonation and a tangy tongue 🫧. ⚫︎ blazing manzan nigori It is refreshing and light for a nigori 😙. ⚫︎ Moe Ina Ippozumi This is also a brand name of Blazing Man. The main flavors are umami and bitterness, but the aftertaste is refreshing 😙. It is refreshing and easy to drink 🧐. Ippozumi" is made from rice grown in their own fields 🌾.

☀️ The 12th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower🍶. ⚫︎Takayuu When you hear the word "extremely spicy", you don't have to be a master of spicy sake to be interested in it 🤗. When I tried it, it was indeed very spicy 🥵. It kind of makes my tongue tingle 💉. It tries to cover it up with bitterness, but the tingling persists 💉. ⚫︎ Taido Kame no O Hiyoroshi It is clean & clear with umami and bitterness. There is a sense of being soaked through 🫠. ⚫︎Yamazakuromo This is also dry and clear😙. It has a slightly bitter taste. ⚫︎ Iori It was described as a refreshingly fruity Yumachi, but it's hard to say if it can be called refreshing as it still has a slightly ricey 🌾 feel 🤔. There is also a slight bitterness, so even though it is closer to fruity, it is a sensation that has not been swept away 🧐.

☀️ The 12th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower🍶. ⚫︎ Hamafukutsuru CRAFKAN This is a sake for warming up, created by young employees in a serious attempt to create a sake that goes well with warmed sake 🍶♨️ Start with room temperature. ♨️ It is slightly sweet, but has a strong mouthfeel. Next, warmed sake♨️ The strong mouthfeel disappears and it's really refreshing 😳. It goes down your throat easily and flows into your body 😊. When I told the guy at the booth that it would go well with Japanese food like grilled fish 🐟, he gave me a big smile and said "that's exactly what I was thinking 😁" 😆. I'm glad we can agree on the pairing 🥰. ⚫︎ Hamafukutsuru Junmai Daiginjo It won an award🏆 but was completely eclipsed by the heated sake 😓. If only CRAFKAN wasn't here 😇 ⚫︎ Mie no Kanmei Gen. So called fruity taste with decent sweetness and umami 😊. I think it's a standard taste in sake for gold medal 🤔. ⚫︎ Mie-no-Kanbai This one is different, dry. It has a stoic throat 😎. The description says it has been reborn with a mellow taste, but I thought it might not be mellow... 😌 one day at a Japanese sake festival.

☀️ The 12th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower🍶. I looked back at my photos and I drank quite a bit😅. Some of my notes are not so good, so I'll mainly post the drinks I remember 😆. ⚫︎ Sachihime It's a sake from Saga prefecture and I'm drinking it for the first time 🍶. I can tell from the romanization that it is read as "Sachihime Egushi" 🧐. It has a light sweetness and a slight astringency. It has a light sweetness and a slight astringency. Unlike Nabeshima and Shichida, also from Saga, it does not have a thick flavor 🤔. I learned one thing about this kind of sake in Saga: ❗️ ⚫︎ comet It uses apple yeast 🍎. It has a strong acidity and a little sweetness. It is like ripe apples🍎. ⚫︎Gohashi This sake has a refreshing impression with sweetness and slight bitterness 🍶. ⚫︎ Okuhida Shiboritate Nama Sake It is a raw sake with 17% alcohol by volume. It has sweetness and umami with a slight minerality. The slight acidity assists the crispness and allows you to continue drinking without becoming sluggish😙. It is the perfect image for a long autumn evening 🌙.

☀️ The 12th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower🍶. Yasubeyesan and Pekkaaru have already posted about this event, but I was able to meet Yasubeyesan and Umaumaiyesan😄. After arriving at the venue, I was walking around drinking to see if Yasubeyesan was there ...... and drinking was never my priority 😤. I was at the Shikai Kai O booth when I had had a lot to drink 😳. ⚫︎Shikai-O Yasube poured me a drink 😆. I am honored ❗️ The sweetness and umami are well balanced. It was well balanced and easy to drink like the middle of Ginjo-shu. After talking with Yasubeyesan for a bit, he told me that Umaumai-san was also working there, so I went to greet him at the booth he was in charge of 😌. When we were getting our drinks, Yasubeyesan introduced us 🙏. ⚫︎Koumu Mr. Umaumai poured it for me 😆. I am honored ❗️ The sweetness and umami are strong, but it goes down your throat smoothly. It has a bitter taste at the end that keeps you from getting tired of drinking it 😚. We only had a short time to talk because both of you were at work, but we hope to have a chance to talk with you again 😌. Thank you very much 🙇‍♂️

☀️ I came to Osaka on this day to attend the "Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower" 💪. I'll make a short stop before going to the festival: 🚶‍➡️ Nakao Sake Brewery in Ibaraki City has a booth in front of Sumimichi station. Nakao Sake Brewery has a brand called Tsuya Masamune, and I stopped by to see if they might be serving Masamune 🤔. As it turned out, there was no Tsuya Masamune and no hunting... 😓. However, the toji was there and I was able to ask him when it would be released this year 😁. Yoshi👉. We had sake and yakitori at the booth✨ This sake is made entirely from "Mishima Omachi" (a variety grown in Mishima, Japan) 🍶. It has a thick flavor with a slightly strong attack and a firm umami 🤔. The toji-san asked me, "How about some yakitori?" I bought it without hesitation😅 Yakitori is my favorite 🤣. It's yakitori with ume vinegar, but it's salt based and refreshing with ume vinegar. It's a nice sweet and tasty drink to go with sake😊. Yakitori with salt and plum vinegar was perfect for Miyama 🤗. Now that we've accomplished our goal, we're heading to the Japanese Sake Festival👉.

☀️ Masamune hunters go today🍶. Encounters are sudden ✨ The bonito came out of nowhere🎣. The moment I saw the menu at the restaurant, I had a head-on collision with the undrinkable Masamune 💥. Of course I order it 🐟. The taste of rice 🌾 and slight bitterness gives it a slightly thicker, autumnal sake-like flavor 🍶. The taste is light and smooth, with no lingering aftertaste 😙. No citrus aroma as the description on the bottle 😅. I wonder if it's been a while since the bottle was opened 🤔. As it says "dry", it also feels dry on the palate 😝. In addition, the crispness from the moderate acidity appeals to me that it's more dry 🐟🐠🐡😌. I haven't had a dry sake in a long time 🤗. Nice Masamune👍

☀️ It has a perfect balance of sweetness and umami with a little carbonation 😊. The rice flavor that is typical of Omachi is also added to the drinkability 🌾 ⤴️. The slight gassy sensation brings a refreshing sensation down the throat and does not diminish the drinkability 😙. You can feel the brewery's passion for Omachi 🍶.

☀️ This is another royal lineage with the delicious taste of rice, slight sweetness and acidity 😌. The slight carbonation 🫧 and the slight alkanes add a change of taste 😏. The combination with the motsu-nimotsu (pork bone stew) gave it a motsu-motsu feeling, and the sake washed away my daily fatigue along with the nostalgic melodies that played in the restaurant 🤗.

The ginjo aroma is also rich and enjoyable: ☺️ Kochi & Gohyakumangoku, I was surprised that it has a sweeter taste 😳. I thought it might be too much to drink with sushi. I thought it would be too harsh to drink with sushi, but the acidity is refreshing and easy to drink with a moderate sweetness 🤗. I think it would be good as a food sake 🤭.

☀️ Masamune hunters go today🍶. Sanyoshi Masamune used to be made in Hiroshima, but due to some circumstances, it is now sold by Asakura Shuzo in Fukuoka. Asakura Shuzo is not an option in Sake-no-wa 😅. Maybe because it is made by Nihon Zakari in Hyogo 🤔. Anyway, we went to Masamuneya, a store you have to visit at least once if you call yourself a Masamune hunter: ❣️ There are many stores around Osaka, but the menu is different in each store 🤔. However, it is said that the store name came from "Sankichi Masamune". I went to Sennichimae store and Tennoji store for Sankichi Masamune 😁. ⚫︎ Sennichimae store First, heated 🔥. It has a light sweetness and little alcohol 🤔. It has a gulp that hits you in the aftertaste, but generally has a mellow mouthfeel 🤗. Next stop Tennoji store... 😁 ⚫︎ Tennoji store This one is at room temperature ♨️ It's a nice soft walnut type sweetness 😚. It feels like it skips to the upper jaw. Although it's a honjozo, you don't feel much alcohol 🤗 same as heated sake. Personally, I think heated sake goes better with a variety of foods. Especially oden. Nice Masamune👍
