We were given a sample of Kyo Hina, a newly traded brand, at the October Icoma tasting. This was before the announcement of handling at that time, so I posted a time delay😌. There are two varieties, Fukayama and Uchikoza. I will buy Miyama at a later date. Sakurahime yeast TYPE 1 is used. It's the same fruity yeast as Nikitatsu. I think it is drier than the other day's Fukayama, but it is slightly sweet and has a unique atmosphere like the Fukayama. I was going to buy it, but it was sold out rather quickly😅. I'm also looking forward to a certain brand that will be available from December 😆.

First visit to a liquor store that Nemuchi had me crash at last year😁. Kitamoto Sake Shop in Daito City Within walking distance from Sumimichi Station, but it's quite a distance (about 15 minutes)💦. They are a Toyobai distributor and I wanted to buy a bottle of Toyobai since I haven't had it very often 😅. They also have Shinomine, Hyakugakumon, Kozaemon, etc. I was troubled by the small number of Yongbottles at the store, so I bought this one. It is a blend of Junmai Daiginjo and Junmai Ginjo. The rice polishing ratio is 35-55%, which is quite high! The freshness of the arabashiri coexists with the slightly peculiar and complex flavor of the yamame. It is sweet and spicy with citrus-like acidity. It gets hotter and more peculiar as the temperature rises💦.

I bought it because it was a never-seen-before kaiun sale. I bought it at Mikage Shinseido in Kawanishi Noseguchi on my way home from visiting a grave. 100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture It has a sweet and umami taste, but at the same time it has a bitter, spicy, and astringent taste. I thought it would be spicier, but it was easy to drink. I thought it would be spicier, but it was easy to drink. It may be spicier than some of the other Kaiun sakes I've had, but I think it's more to my liking among Shizuoka sakes 🤔. I'd rather drink this with food than on its own.

Purchased at an event at Keihan Department Store. It is a pure sake and the rice is Yamadanishiki. Some accounts on SNS refer to this label as Koshihikari, but I wonder if the specs were changed in the process. The acidity seems to be more pronounced than when I tasted it. The acidity is like that of a wine yeast sake. It's sweet but when I tasted it, it was more like a dessert wine, but it doesn't feel that sweet. Maybe it will be sweeter when the temperature is a little higher than when it is fresh out of the fridge 🤔. I didn't think so at the time of tasting but I think this is the one 🤔.

Shimanto bought a pouch of sake at an event at Hanshin Department Store last year. Haretoke had a reasonably priced sake from Shimanto in stock, so I bought it. I've had my eye on it for a while, but it was sold out. A little after I bought it, I checked the website and it was sold out again😅I wonder if this is the most popular one 🤔. It's juicy and quite sweet with a yogurt-like acidity. I thought it was more robust and sweeter than the CEL24 I had before. It's low in alcohol and easy to drink. Tastes a little like strawberry milk 🍓🥛.

Could the price be higher than the current price after next year? So I bought it. It's seven water and I think I won't lose it 😁. Fresh, sweet and juicy. It is a junmai daiginjo, but it has a strong umami flavor and is very satisfying to drink. Fruity but not too much pineapple. Sweet but not too sweet. A little bitterness at the end. It is better to drink it by itself, as it is slightly effervescent and sweet-tasting. Nanamizu was safe and reliable Tochigi Ai🥰.

Jay & Nobby, maybe it's because of the negotiations between the farmers and the breweries on the price of rice, but it seems that all the breweries don't give us any information about their new sake 😅The more I drink Nanamizu, the more I trust them 😆. The last sentence sounds like a corporate catchphrase 😁.

The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival Extravaganza Goshin came to the basement of Hankyu, and after tasting some Ganou's Nanarou, which I had never seen before, I went to Icoma Sake Shop. I told them that I had been to the festival in the morning and that the Housenonani no Oto was crowded, so they bought some and let me try it. It was beautiful and just the right amount of sweetness and umami without any unpleasant nuances. Very good! I honestly thought it was better than the sake I drank and bought at the brewery festival😅

The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival (7) Lastly, a dark horse that we didn't expect to see at a department store event? Mr. Nomushi, a dark horse who we did not expect to come to a department store event! Even though it was a department store event, the sake brewery brought almost all of their sake in one bottle! I have a feeling of kinship with him since I talked with him quite a bit at the Shikoku Sake event at Kyocera Dome 😁. The atmosphere was somehow more intimate than other booths. Ehime and Hanaheizakura were standing side by side. It was cute that the brewer had "Kuramoto" written and sewn on his chest 😆. Honjozo sake The one we drank at Kyocera. It was sold in a four-pack bottle. Gutsy, powerful, and with a great rice flavor. The last time I drank it, I thought it was good, but this time I was less impressed. Special Honjozo Dry This bottle was only a shugou. It is a type that seems to be easy to drink. It is written as "dry" but it is easy to drink and I like it. Tankomaezake Ginjo-namaeshu This one is only available in 1 sho bottle. Spicy and strong? It tastes dry and strong? Tosenzake Junmai Ginjo-Nama Shu This is also only available in 1 sho bottle. I've bought and drank 5 gou bottles in the past. As many reviewers have said, it has a citrusy taste. Not as sweet as I've had in the past. I was mysteriously appealed to by an old Hawks fan at the Nomushi booth who said he was good friends with Buffaloes manager Kishida and retired T Okada 🤣.

The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival (6) It's rare for Raifuku to come to a department store, and I've never had a regular type of sake, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to try some. Junmai Hachitan-Nishiki It seems to be a standard sake of the brewery. It is not modern, but sweet. It's nice that this is a standard sake. Junmai Shunyo 4MP, just because it is made from Shunyo. Muscat flavor, sweet and light. Junmai Ginjo Aizan Less sweet than the raw sake we have had in the past. MELLOW Nama Sake MELLOW Nama-zake is a pure sake of Kijo-zake. It has a rich sweet taste. It's very thick. Delicious 😋. Junmai Ginjo Raifuku X Kuro Nama Sake Sake with undisclosed specs. Not gory and sweet, but just right. I've been wanting to try this one for quite some time 😋. Junmai Daiginjo Betsuatsurae Very sweet, juicy, and super tasty! After drinking it, you realize it's Aizan😅.

The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival (5) Yaegaki, which I was going to pass up because I personally am not into it, but Nemuchi told me to try it, so I decided to drink it. Well, Yaegaki doesn't come to many events. Ritsu Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake I asked if this was the first time I've seen Ritsu's nama-shu, and he said it's released every year 😅. I asked him if this was the first time. Fresh and juicy! Maybe the best Yaegaki I've ever had 😋. Special Junmai Yamadanishiki Nama Sake I've been wondering about this one since I often see it at Yamaya, but it costs about 2200 yen, so I've been on the fence about it for a while. Looks good with food. It has quite a bit of umami. I think I can buy it if it tastes like this. Junmai Ginjo I thought it was somewhat classic and quite full-bodied All the ones I drank this time were good 😁. I bought a bottle of Ritsu nigori nama sake last year, but it looks like it will be in a pressure-resistant bottle this year. Will it be in the same bottle as Ritsu Sparkling?

The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival ④ Nemuchi-san gave me some recommendations in advance, and one of them was Kikusui! Honjozo nigorizake HIRAKI TENRYU The nigori is very fine and silky! The best part is that a bottle of this sake costs around 2,000 yen! Junmai Ginjyo Hatsuho Shizuku Nama-no-Genshu The rice is Takananishiki. According to the official website, it has a Sake meter of -7 and an acidity of 1.6. I wonder if this is a different product from the sake I bought at last year's traveling SAKE event, since only the Takananishiki label is different. The sake level is also totally different. It's sweet and fruity, but a bit light? I thought I could buy the raw sake, but decided against it because I thought it was not decisive enough...

The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival (3) Reizan has been drinking Meimon Shukai hanpukai sake once in the past at a restaurant that purchases from Ikoma Sake Shop. Special Junmai Polishing ratio 65 The rice seems to be Shinriki. There is a place that says "reviving a phantom rice called Fukushin" but that's a mistake, right? Is it a honjozo? It tastes like a classic sake. Gorigori-classic sake. Honjozo sake Polishing ratio 70%. Taste that you would never think it was a sake with alkaloids Easy to drink, you would not believe it has 19 degrees Celsius Junmai Sold out, but I only tasted it. Polishing ratio 65%, Sake degree +2, Acidity 1.6 Rice is 100% Hananishiki The specs are from the internet. High acidity, a little wine-like Junmai Ginjo Beautiful and slightly sweet Junmai Ginjo for 2,700 yen? I thought so, but I think they said the rice polishing ratio is 50%. If that's the case, why didn't they just call it daiginjo 🤔? Honjozo Harazake was the best out of all of them. There was also a sandeshi but it said delivery only. I can get Reizan's Sandeshi at Yodobashi.

The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival (2) I don't usually go to the Nadagiku booth, but there was a sake I was interested in, so I went there. MISA Shiboritate Nama-no-Hara Sake This sake is made from Yamada-Nishiki and limited to 198 bottles. It feels refreshing but sweet. Special Junmai Hatsu Shiboritate The label said it was an unfiltered, unfiltered, unadulterated sake. I was curious about this sake because I heard it was Aizan this year. Slightly effervescent and deliciously juicy 😋. I haven't bought Nada Kiku in a very long time 😍.

The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival ①. This is the first time in about a year since I didn't go to the last one in the spring. The venue was changed to the same festival plaza as the traveling SAKE event, and the former venue was turned into a high-brand watch shop💦. Rolex was lined up like a ramen shop with a long line 🤣. The first brewery I visited was the Furusawa Sake Brewery, which was participating in the Sake Brewery Festival for the first time! A sake brewery that was a complete first for me! Junmai Daiginjo Yuki Megami 48 Clear, light and clean taste Junmai Daiginjo Bidabishu The rice is Dewa Tsanzan. This one is sweeter. It is also a little refreshing. Benihana-ya Juubei Daiginjo Yamadanishiki rice polished to 35%. Slightly darker and sweeter than the previous two Relatively reasonable considering the specs 🤔. I have the impression that the taste of Sawa Masamune goes up as the price goes up. I don't think there are any stores in Kansai where you can buy it.

I've had 18 Mori in the past, but this is the first time I've had Tagaji's at home. I do drink Tagaji when I go out. The gasiness is strong. It has a good balance of sweet and spicy with a strong umami. The acidity in the second half leaves a lasting impression. I like it because it is a combination of modern and classic sake. When I drink it again, the sweetness is strong, but there is also a lot of bitterness. After a week, the sweetness is almost gone and only bitterness and pungency remain...

I bought it because Nemuchi and Ikoma Sake Shop raved about it 😁. I've been drinking Chiyoda Kura, but this is my first time to try Shiga Doukan. Icoma doesn't usually carry Shiga Doukan, but a sales person from Chiyoda Kura saw the rave reviews on SNS and contacted them to let them know that they could get it! It has a rich flavor. The sweetness is also strong, but not too sweet and not too spicy. Personally, I have an image of Tamaei as dry, but this is different! My mother, who drank it, immediately said it was delicious! The taste was beyond my imagination. It tastes a little bit like a light aged sake when the temperature goes up.

Purchased at Liquor House Rokko-michi store located under the JR elevated railway nearby after Koamichika where I purchased Fuyuki and Daisetsuken. A chain store with several stores in Kobe I've known the store for a long time and I've been there before, but I've never bought sake 😅. I think I bought juice and local sauce when I went there before 🤔. My impression this time was that there are a lot of Miyagi sake. Ichinokura, Katsuyama, Urakasumi, etc. I think they had Haginotsuru when I went there in the past 🤔. Personally, I was interested in Aizan from Niigata's Koshitsuka Sake Brewery. I haven't had Daikoku Masamune in a while. Low temperature aging with one fire. It has sweetness, but also umami and acidity. It is basically a food sake, but it seems to be versatile in temperature range, and I think it is an all-rounder type of sake that is easy to use. Daikoku Masamune's Junmai Ginjo-Unfiltered Nama-shu was my favorite fruity and sweet-tasting sake, but it is a pity that it is no longer available.

It is said to be a raw sake version of Junmai Ginjo D, which won a trophy at the IWC 2025. Nagano omachi is rare. He said this one, like Fuyuki, can only be ordered if you go to the prestigious sake tasting in Tokyo. The aroma is mild. It is juicy and sweet, but not too sweet. The second half has a bitterness that made me think it was Miyamanishiki😅. The higher the temperature, the sweeter and more delicious it becomes. I've had a lot of Taisetsukei's raw sake with a strong gassy taste, but this one didn't have any gassy feeling, so it felt fresh to me.

I happened to find a Kumamoto sake tasting and sale at a supermarket in the basement of Luxe Aire 😁. They were selling Zuitaka, Koro, Reizan, Chiyozonoen, and Kameyama, but only Zuitaka was available for tasting! Too bad they didn't have Bishonen, Tsuijun, or Hana no Kaori. There was a guy who looked like a brewery owner who said he came from Kumamoto, but I wonder if he was from Mizutaka 🤔. Kissho Zuizaka Ginjo Polishing ratio 58% Yamadanishiki/Hananishiki Sake degree +5 The label is cool. Modern type with gorgeous aroma. I don't think there are many people who drink it... Sake: Junmai Ginjo Polishing ratio 58%, Sake degree +5 I've had the unfiltered raw sake in the past, but the hi-ire version is quite dry... It's been about 6 years, so I'm not sure, but I remember the raw version was a bit sweeter 🤔... Nana Sour Sour Sake Polishing ratio 65%, Kumamoto yeast I was expecting the most since it is a sweet sake with a sake strength of -11, but it tasted a bit messy and was a little too subtle for me personally... I heard they have a draft of this one, so I'd like to try it if I have the chance. I think they sell the raw version at Keihan department store in Moriguchi 🤔. I was most impressed with Kissho Zuitaka, so I bought this one. I wish I could have tasted it! I wonder if I can drink Reizan at the brewer's festival next week.
