National Sake Fair 2025㉘ Saitama Prefecture Saitama Prefecture③) Seiun Sake Brewery in Ogawa-machi. It was bought out and became part of the Zensho Group, and you can drink it at Hamazushi and other places. In the past, we drank a flower yeast sake called Kinshozan at Hamazushi😋. From Koshu Umebayashi to the next badger mo, I drank it while the Seiun Shuzo brewer explained it to me. Polishing ratio 55% Miyamanishiki/Sai no Kizuna 15.0 degrees Sake degree +3 Acidity 1.3 1430 yen Polishing ratio and Sake Degree may differ depending on the website. Slightly aromatic. It has a subtle aroma, and it is very good. It is a food sake type, and I think it is best suited to be served at restaurants of the Zensho Group.

National Sake Fair 2025㉗ Saitama Prefecture ② Yao Honten in Chichibu City Omi merchant moved to Chichibu and founded the company. In addition to sake brewing, affiliated companies also operate sake wholesalers, department stores, and electronics retailers. I don't have a source, but it looks like they are distant relatives of Yao Brewery of Suzumasamune in Shiga. The brewer of Suzumasamune mentioned it on SNS before. I've seen Chichibu Nishiki a few times at Kobe Hankyu, but it was labeled dry, so I passed on it💦. Polishing ratio 60% Miyamanishiki, Sake degree ±0, 15.0 degrees, 1160 yen It has a deep taste with a bit of acidity. What can I say, it's proper and delicious! It seems to be a standard product of Chichibu Nishiki. It's a little over 1,000 yen, so it's very cost-effective. I forgot I drank this sake and had another one at the end of the Saitama booth 🙄. Nemuchi-san told me he drank it earlier. Nemuchi told me 💦. Oh, I'm posting a lot more than usual at this event, but I'm not drinking all of it because there were vomit containers 😙.

National Sake Fair 2025㉖ Saitama Prefecture ① By the time we arrived at the Saitama booth, about an hour had passed... Sato Sake Brewery in Echigo-cho! In Kanto, you can buy it at Yamaya, but in Kansai, you won't find it at all💦. Polishing ratio 60%, sake brewer's alcohol level -2 to +2, acidity 1.3, amino acid level 1.0, 15.0 In-house yeast, 1,540 yen. Sake level varies from site to site. Slightly sweet and refreshingly delicious acidity. It is a food sake type that doesn't interfere with food. I imagined it to be more floral and fruity, so maybe it is different from what I expected. Maybe there is such a type in the lineup 🤔. It won a gold medal in a heated sake contest, so maybe it's not what I was expecting...

National Sake Fair 2025㉕ Ibaraki Prefecture⑯ Isokura Sake Brewery in Kasama City We drank Inazato Junmai Ginjo Hoshi, unfiltered unpasteurized sake, shipped as it is Polishing ratio 55% Hitanishiki 17%, 2,200 yen Overall, it is mild but also has a bit of character. It has a strong rice flavor. I think there are some off-flavors... Inazato Hibi Kore Kohichi Junmai Daiginjo Polishing ratio 40%, Kasama-grown Hitanishiki, 15%, Ogawa yeast, 3,960 yen According to the official website, this sake is on display. It tastes dry but the sweetness comes afterwards. I thought both Inari had a strong rice flavor. Ibaraki booth had only 3 kinds of sake on the list when it was announced, but on the day of the event, there were a lot of sake that were not on the list 😅.

National Sake Fair 2025㉔ Ibaraki Prefecture⑮ Aoki Sake Brewery in Koga City Well, I think Yonemune in Aichi was also Aoki Sake Brewery 🤔. The brewer was there, so I decided to have something to drink, and he told me to try this dry sake. Rice polishing ratio 55%, Ichibanboshi 16%, Sake degree +5, Acidity 1.5, 1595 yen AOK-1 yeast (No.7 series) I checked it out and it seems to be a standard dry sake. AOK-1 yeast must be their own yeast. It claims to be dry, but it has a nice aroma and is quite clean and fresh even though it is fire-brewed. It is deliciously dry and tasty.

National Sake Fair 2025㉓ Ibaraki Prefecture⑭ Nomura Brewery in Joso city. I thought that there would be a lot of XX beauty if I look for it 🤔. There seems to be a French restaurant attached to the brewery! I found out that the regular junmai ginjo has a more classic label. This one seems to be a modern type named "Grand", so I wonder if they are making a modern label? This sake won the Platinum Award at the 2017 KURAMASTER Sake Competition Polishing ratio 55% Yamadanishiki from Ibaraki 15.3% Sake degree +1 3000 yen Fruity and sweet but a little strange? Maybe the taste of Senhime is still in the boar's mouth😅. I forgot to take a picture, so I borrowed Nemuchi's picture.

National Sake Fair 2025㉒ Ibaraki Prefecture⑬ Hiyama Sake Brewery in Hitachiota City A brand completely new to me... I heard that wine is their main product rather than sake. Hitanishiki, 60% rice polishing ratio, 15%, 1,650 yen When I searched for this sake, I found reviews and descriptions saying it was fruity, but I didn't find it very fruity. It has little sweetness and umami, and is a refreshingly light and dry sake. Well, it tastes a little strange...

National Sake Fair 202521 Ibaraki Prefecture⑫ Takeyuu in Yuki City I've had Takeyuki a few times, but I'll try this one because it's jun-dai and has a cool label. Polishing ratio 40%, Yamadanishiki 15%, 5500 yen This sake is a new flagship product of Takeyuu, which is a sake that is almost directly made from the sake entered in the sake competition. It's dry, calm, but sweet and delicious! When I checked the price later, I was surprised to find it was more expensive than I expected 😳.

National Sake Fair 2025⑳⑳ Ibaraki Pref. Hirose Shoten in Ishioka city. Shirakiku is drinking the expensive Jun Dai draft sake that you buy at the corner shop of Mystery Cheeya earlier this year. Polishing ratio 60%, Inochinoichi 15-16%, Sake degree -6 1925 yen I've never heard of Inochi no Ichi before 😳. It is sweet, refreshing and delicious! Shirakiku, I'd like to try many other specs, but I'll have to pouch this one to get it too...

The 1920's National Sake Fairs Ibaraki Prefecture 10 Inaba Sake Brewery, Tsukuba City I've always wanted to try this one. I've been wanting to try this one for a long time. The first sake brewed by a female brewery master in Ibaraki Prefecture. According to the official website and the liquor store's website, both are unfiltered and fire-aged. It looks like there is a draft version of both. We drank Male-Female River Shiboritate Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Polishing ratio 55% Miyamanishiki 15-16 degrees Sake degree +4.0 Acidity 1.5 Amino acidity 1.2 2090 yen We thought it was a draft sake, but it seems to be a fire-brewed sake. It is light and has a good balance of umami and acidity. It seems to be evenly balanced. Delicious! Sutera Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Polishing ratio 50% Yamadanishiki 15-16 degrees Sake degree +1.0 Acidity 1.3 Amino acidity 0.7 2,750 yen Fruity, sweet and delicious. It has a clean and smooth taste. There are no unpleasant parts, and it is good and easy to drink. Both Inaba sake breweries are very good! Wish it was available in Kansai!

Polishing ratio 45%, Yamadanishiki 17%, Sake degree +5, Acidity 1.2, 6600 yen According to the official website, it is a Fukuro-hozuri Shizukusake. Fruity ginjo aroma, but a little strange. Is it an off-flavor? I would be very disappointed if there was an off-flavor for this price 🤔. I forgot to take a picture, so I borrowed Nemuchi's picture!

National Sake Fair 2025⑯ Ibaraki Prefecture⑦ Tsukii Sake Brewery in Oarai-machi I've seen this sake around but I've been avoiding it because of its dry image💦. So this is my first time to try it😅. Polishing ratio 50% Yamadanishiki 16 degrees, Ogawa yeast Sophisticated and clean taste. Almost no sweetness and not my favorite type of sake, but it's a good sake. I guess it's supposed to be heated sake. I thought it was suitable for Japanese food 🤔.

National Sake Fair 2025⑮ Ibaraki Prefecture⑥ Takemura Sake Brewery in Joso City! I told him that I drank a sake called Ruri from this brewery last year and he said it was a Fukuro-hozuri sake 😳. I thought it was amazing that it's not such an expensive sake, but it's still a bagged sake! I drank Kyo no Yume Junmai Ginjo Polishing ratio 55% Gohyakumangoku Sake meter value +2.0 Acidity 1.4 Amino acidity 1.4 Alcohol 15%-15.9%, 1958 yen Slightly sweet and clean taste. Kyo no Yume Daiginjo Rice polishing ratio 40% Yamadanishiki Sake meter value +3 Acidity 1.4 Amino acidity 1.3 Alcohol 15%, 3,960 yen It tastes a little lighter than Junmai Ginjo. Do you prefer Junmai Ginjo?

National Sake Fair 2025⑭ Ibaraki Prefecture ⑤. Akari Sake Brewery in Mito City The brewery that originated No. 10 yeast. The largest general liquor manufacturer in Ibaraki Prefecture. I've seen the brewery's Vice Shogun at Yodobashi, but have never bought it, and I've never had a bottle of Mizufu Boast because the liquor stores only carry it in one-sho bottles... Polishing ratio 50%, Gohyakumangoku 16%, Sake degree -1.0, Acidity 1.8 Amino acidity 1.0 It has a strong acidity. Not fragrant, but fruity. It is fire-brewed, but it also has a freshness.

I've had Yuzu Lager from Hitachinonest Beer though😅. Are they more famous for beer or plum wine? I drank Kikumori Natsuhatsugetsu Nama Junmai Ginjo Polishing ratio 50%, 15%, 2200 yen Sweet but with a strong acidity and sourness. It has a unique taste. It tastes as if it were a 🫶. Kikumori Pure Ibaraki Kaze to Mizu Junmai Polishing ratio 55% Hitanishiki Hitachi Yeast Brewed in wooden vats. The acidity is also impressive. It is fire-aged but feels fresh.

National Sake Fair 202511 Ibaraki Prefecture ② Fukushin Jun Junmai Sake Shiina Sake Brewery in Hitachi City I've heard of this sake but never seen it in Kansai. I'm not mistaking it for something like FUKUNISHIKI or FUKUMUSUMO. According to their official website, they have a distributor in Tokyo, and it seems that they also have a wholesaler distributing their sake. Domestic rice, 65% polished rice ratio 15.3 degrees Sake degree +4 Acidity 1.6 Amino Acidity 1.6, Amino Acidity 1.3, No. 9 & No. 10 yeast used It had a complex and unique flavor 😋. The president of Kondo Sake Brewery, which brews Ehime's Hana Hime Sakura and Mikan de Sake, came to the Ibaraki booth and drank Urasato, saying he came because he heard it was delicious 😁. I got the impression from the venue that it was also a meet and greet between sake breweries from different regions. At other events, the general public and related parties are separated, but this time there were a lot of people from restaurants and liquor stores because it was a combined event.

National Sake Fair 2025⑩ Ibaraki Prefecture① Finally, I went to the Ibaraki booth! The preliminary list showed only 3 kinds of sake, but when I went there on the day of the fair, I was surprised to see many kinds of sake on display 😳. Mr. Toji from Urasato Sake Brewery was there with his wife! It was like meeting a celebrity! It was the second consecutive week that the event was held in the Kansai region, so it looks like he was staying in Osaka! The president (Toji's father) was also at the event! I chose a super dry sake, which I had never had before! The Ibaraki booth didn't have any information (or did they forget to give it to me?). So I used the specs based on the internet 😅. Polishing ratio 55%, Hitanishiki 15 degrees, Acidity 1.2, Sake degree undisclosed It's dry but has sweetness. I thought it might be dry because it's super spicy, but it's not. I can drink this kind of dry sake. Kiri-Tsukuba doesn't seem to sell outside of the prefecture, but they seem to sell it specially to the crazy salad hall, Tomekawa Sake Shop. I used to buy Kiri-Tsukuba as a matter of course, but I never realized how valuable it was💦.

Polishing ratio 50%, Hagi Yamadanishiki 15 degrees, Sake degree -1.0, Acidity 1.6 2200 yen Strong taste. It has a full-bodied taste. The best in Yamaguchi except for Kinjaku.
