Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - Shikoku's Sake and Food Spectacle - 7 The brand name comes from the oldest elementary school in Shikoku called Kaimei Gakko! Well, Amagasaki used to have Kaimei Elementary School 🤔. We drank Kaimyo Junmai Ginjo It is refreshing and easy to drink with a good balance of sweet and spicy. It has a little bit of gorgeousness. Kaimyo Junmai-shu Iyo no Koigokoro Made with Sakurahime yeast. It has a slight sweetness. It has a nice crisp and clean taste. Rather spicy? The outfit was not junmai because I am not a brewer 😁. Kaimyo Aged Junmai Sake It is a blend of junmai sake that has been aged for more than 3 years. The color is relatively clear even though it is an aged sake. It tastes slightly matured and full of flavor. Kaimyo 2001 Junmai Unfiltered Harazake It tastes like sherry or Western-style sake. It has an atmosphere similar to that of Okutanba's sherry cask-stored sake, but with more depth. I thought it had a classy taste, but the price is quite expensive because it is 24 years old 😳. Sake fortified long aged sake "Who's that? Aged sake with liqueur added. High alcohol content and a sharp taste. Ehime's sake has a sweet taste even with high sake content.

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - A Spectacle of Sake and Food from Shikoku - (6) This is also our first visit to the Umeibijin Sake Brewery in Yawatahama City. Yawatahama has a small population, but it has a great shopping arcade. I'd like to visit there once 😆. It seems they also make whiskey! I thought I heard something about Ume Bijin, but Seiji Chihara visited there at Aiseki Shokudo 🤔. I drank Takao Daiginjo-genshu Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio 40%, Sake degree ±0 Fruity, sweet and luxurious 😋. Ume Bijin Junmai Daiginjo Shizuku Ehime, Polishing ratio 50%, Sake strength -6 Fruity, sweet and delicious 😋. According to the internet, there is also a draft of this sake, but I'm sure it's a delicious one! Both were sweet and delicious! I was surprised to find that Kamoshita Sake Shop in Tokyo, which also carries Kikubunmei from Hiroshima, carries Ume Bijin 😳. Is it a strong minor brand?

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - A Spectacle of Sake and Food from Shikoku - (5) Ehime Prefecture from here Sake brewery severely damaged by torrential rain in western Japan. They have made a comeback thanks to crowdfunding and support from many people! There are no distributors in Kansai, but there are some restaurants that deal directly with the brewery. We drank Kaze no Sato Junmai-shu Matsuyama Mitsui Polishing ratio 60%, EK-1 yeast, Sake meter value +7 I thought it would be a classic type of sake, but it's quite modern. Rice flavor and a bit of fruitiness. The taste itself is nice, but there is something strange about it... Kaze no Sato Junmai Ginjo Shizuku Ehime, Polishing ratio 50%, EK-3 yeast, Sake meter value +6 A juicy sake with a firm sweetness. A little pineapple 🍍. The most delicious 😋. Junmai Daiginjo Usu Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio 40%, EK-1 yeast, Sake meter value +8 It was refreshing and gorgeous, but delicious! It had a berry-like flavor. All of the breweries here have high sake strength, but it didn't feel too spicy. Kaze no Sato Junmai Ginjo Sakura hime Shizuku Ehime, Polishing ratio 50%, Sake strength -4 Sakura hime yeast "Type2 Clear" is used. Slightly floral. Refreshing sweetness.

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - Shikoku's Sake and Food Spectacle ④ Here's another Gotenzakura I've never had before! The name somehow reminds me of Usagi Goten 🐰 I've seen a liquor store that sells doburoku, but... I drank Gotenzakura Junmai Ginjyo Genshu Polishing ratio 55%, LED dream yeast used. 1870 yen Fruity and delicious! There are various types of LED dream yeast and their characteristics are different. It seems there are different types of LED dream yeast with different characteristics. Some are sweet, some are not. Unlike the label, it is quite a modern type. Gotenzakura Junmai Daiginjo Polishing ratio: Kakemai 40%, Kojimai 50%, Tokushima Yamadanishiki Also made with LED dream yeast. 3190 yen. Beautiful but tasteless or rather thin Now I'm leaving the Tokushima booth, but Tsunomine Sake Brewery that was on the flyer didn't show up 🤔. I didn't see their sales booth so I don't know, maybe they were just selling? I gave up on Miyoshigiku, Naruto Taihai, and Hyoutaiko due to time constraints 🙏.

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - Shikoku's Sake and Food Spectacle - (3) I've been drinking it at home in the past, but there's no longer a store where you can buy it... It's a brewery of the Novil Group, which operates a diversified business in Tokushima, including pachinko halls, golf courses, car sales, and a vending machine business. They are planning to withdraw from the pachinko hall business by transferring it to another company in the same business. I drank Kirai Gin Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio 43%, Sake meter value +2.0 It's sweet and junmai, but has a strong umami flavor and is very drinkable. Kirai Kuro Tokubetsu Junmai Yakkuchi Gin-no-sato Polishing ratio 63% Sake strength +1.0 It's a bit on the dry side, but has a nice sweetness to it. It's like a modern classic. Kirai Aka Junmai Ginjyo Rich Gin-no-sato Polishing ratio 53%, Sake meter value +1.0 I like it because it's quite fruity, sweet and has a strong umami taste. Kibukigawa Special Junmai Gin-no-sato Polishing ratio 60 It is smooth, easy to drink and slightly sweet. It has a lingering aftertaste, but it is short. It has a lingering aftertaste, but it is short. Overall, there were many types that were sweet and had a short, sharp aftertaste. They said they would bring a blue-labeled sake for the June national sake fair. I wish there was a store in Kansai where I could buy it 🤔.

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - Shikoku's Sake and Food Spectacle - (2) I've had Hosui a few times, but I wanted to talk to the brewery owner in his 20s, so I visited! I found out on Tomegawa Sake Brewery's Instagram that he took over the brewery at the age of 27 due to the sudden death of his predecessor, the crazy Salad Kan! They had a bottle of raw Omachi sake, so I chose this one! I think there was some sweetness, but the acidity was impressive anyway. It was tasty, but not Oumachi-like... Yoshimizu, the sake I've had in the past may be dry in terms of specs, but I think it's the type of dryness that suits me 🤔.

Hello bouken🌞. I'm jealous that Kansai seems to be coming to tasting events a little bit. I can't find any stores selling it in Tokyo 🥲. I couldn't buy CWS's Yoshimizu because there were so few of them and they sold out fast😅.

Hello, Matsuchiyo-san. I feel familiar with you since you sometimes come to our department store events in Kansai 😊. I've only seen Takakaki at liquor stores 💦. Seems like CWS's didn't have many in stock anywhere 🤔.

Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - Shikoku's Sake and Food Spectacle - (1) Nemuchi and I participated in the Shikoku Sake event held at Kyocera Dome! The venue was 5 minutes before the event, so we arrived in time to get in, but the line was too long to get in in 5 minutes 😳 We lost about 10 minutes 💦. We lost about 10 minutes 💦. There was no sake list like at Japanese Sake Fest or Sake-1 Grand Prix 🤔. We decided to focus on the breweries we hadn't seen before. We started with Imakomachi. It seems to be in the same area as Yoshimizu and Miyoshikiku, and Miyoshikiku has the same salad address, so they are neighbors! I referred to the official site for the specs. I drank Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Harazake Gohyakumangoku, 50% polished rice ratio It has a beautiful taste and is slightly sweet. It is fire-aged, but I also felt a sense of freshness. The sweetness and acidity were well balanced. Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Harajuku Yamadanishiki, 40% polished rice Fruity and sweet. I got the impression that Imakomachi is generally sweet. Yamasho Junmai Ginjo Genshu Gohyakumangoku, 60% polished rice ratio Unlike the above two types, it is refreshingly dry as it claims to be super dry. Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 40% polished rice Less sweet than the jun-dai, but delicious.

I asked a distributor in the Kansai region and was told that Daisune in Kobe carries it, but it does not seem to be available at all times and may have to be ordered 🤔. Both jun-dai and daiginjo are priced at 3300 yen, which is reasonable for the specs!

It was a drinking party at work😇. We could order a premium course, so we chose Myokozan, although there was also Koshino Katora and others. Myoko Sake Brewery, which is owned by the company that manages Kuimono Ya Wan! It is refreshing and slightly fruity. Even people who don't drink sake tasted it and said it was easy to drink! I'm going to participate in a sake event tomorrow, so I've decided to limit my sake consumption to this sake only 😅.

I visited several Shinomine distributors but couldn't find it, so I bought it at the first liquor store I visited. Later, the nearest liquor store had it in stock😅. Hyotan-ya in Hyotan-yama. The brands they carry are listed on their website... Located in a residential area away from the shopping district Mysterious store that somehow sells women's clothing even though it is a liquor store 🤔. The brand is a challenge sake made from Wakayama Prefecture's Kame-no-o. It was brewed using a doburoku recipe. It is brewed with yeast No. 77 and the rice polishing ratio is 77%. On SNS, a liquor store owner wrote that it might be the first and last product of its kind. It says it has a sweet taste, but the sourness stands out more than the sweetness. Slightly effervescent. It has a unique taste that is not Shinomine-like. It tastes like a flax cat minus the sweetness. A little wine taste. Sourness and bitterness are noticeable, but are they succinic acid? This is pretty good.

Sake bought with Kurashiki Seikagami's first draft sake The mouthfeel is smooth. You can taste the umami of the rice. The alcohol taste is strong at the end. Depending on the food it is served with, it can be quite spicy. When it gets close to room temperature, the sweetness comes out and it is delicious. 1901 yeast is said to produce a lot of ethyl caproate, but it was not very capricious.

Good morning brother bouken, I was wondering about this drink. I've never had Seikagami and using 1901 is good. I thought it would be fruity and spicy 🤔.

Hello Miss Peco! I think it's because it's a low-polished wine, it's not fruity and the slight caproic acidity was a nice refreshing accent 😋I personally found it easier to drink if it wasn't too cold because it was sweeter 🤔.

First Koshien of the year: ⚾️ I'm not complaining because I didn't get the tickets myself, but it was very difficult to get tickets this year, and so far I won't be attending the next one until September 😅. Sanfrecce drinking spree at Koshien? It just so happens to be a Carp game, so it's okay, right? I bought it with Fukubito at the antenna store in KITE. According to the official White Botan website, it's called Sanfrecce Cup. The label depicts the new stadium 😊. I wish I could go there once. I've only been to Noesta and a local stadium (a satellite league like baseball's second team I went to as a kid💦) for soccer. The taste is a cup of sake, but it's fruity, sweet like a white peony and very tasty 😌. We won the game and it was psycho 🐯! The flow of the game changed after the home steel 🤔.

The base liquor for the assemblage that preceded the first one. I've tasted it twice before, both times with subtle impressions 💦. This time the flavor was more robust than the last two times I tasted it. Not my favorite type of wine, but it's tasting better. It didn't have any flavor before, but it's tasting better lol. I wonder if it's better to let it sit 🤔 And then I tried Assemblage Vol2. Less sweetness and more complexity than Vol1. I think Kouko was a good essence for this one too.

The lady next to me was drinking and I thought I had never had this Yizushin before, so I chose it! It tastes like muscat. It goes well with cheese as it says. I had a glass of the original assemblage sake recommended by the store owner. As written in the fourth photo, the base is apparently Nippon Izumi. The owner said that people have different opinions about whether it is sweet or spicy, but I felt it was sweet. I think it's because they put Kouko in it, so I felt it's gorgeous and the Kouko effect is quite strong 🤔.

Today, I went to Ruikoma Sake Shop to participate in the Tachibana StampVal event. Two drinks and a cheese for 500 yen! I would like to get a stamp and go to various stores to spin a rattle, but I don't go to other stores, so... This is a hidden sake? This is "Juraku Taikoh" sake. 3,300 yen for 720 ml. It is a very limited sake, limited to 100 bottles and only available at the opening of the brewery. Polishing ratio 38%. It is gorgeous, fruity, and sweet, but it has a strong umami flavor even though the rice is polished a lot. It is extremely delicious! I heard that the person who drank it afterwards bought the whole stock 😳. Before drinking this, I had a welcome drink of Kisenju Junmai Ginjo Omachi Unfiltered Unrefined Harajuku, but I forgot to take a picture of it...

Kurashiki is a sake brewed to classical music, and this one is like Amadeus 🎶. I like the handmade label that looks like it was created with an inkjet printer 😊. It's colored like an aged sake. It has a light aged feel to it. Sweet and sour, sweeter and easier to drink than I expected. Surprising because I thought it would be more classic and peculiar. I've had a drink that tastes similar to this one, but I can't remember what it was...
