I bought it at a Kumamoto fair at a supermarket in the basement of the Luxe Aire in Osaka Station, where they were having a tasting. The rice is Hananishiki and Yamadanishiki. It is light and dry, but has a hint of sweetness and acidity. I guess it is a food type. It doesn't have any outstanding characteristics, but it's not bad 🤔.

I used to buy it at the Hankyu Brewer's Festival when I learned that it had been Gohyakumangoku but this year it was Aizan. Nadagiku special order Aiyama ♫ Nadagiku ♫ Muroka Aiyama ♫ 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱 It's shwashy and cloudy. Lactic acidity and sourness with rice sweetness and flavor. My favorite type among the many Aizan sake. The sweet and juicy flavor comes out more when the temperature is slightly higher than when it is cold. Too easy to drink and I'm a bit maniacal 😇

Good evening... I'm interested in the Aizan, as it doesn't seem to have the "bitter" or "lingering" taste that is typical of Aizan. However, I don't think I will be able to find it in Kanto 😅.

I haven't seen Kaikaihua much so it's been a while since I bought it 😁. The rice is Tochigi star. It's fire-roasted but fresh. The sweetness comes first. The sweetness comes first with a hint of muscat, and then the delicious taste of the rice comes in with a bang. The acidity is also quite memorable. Tochigi Ai🥰 in a rush at the end of November.

I've had it twice before and bought it when I heard that Chokyu would not be able to drink it in the future. Slight ripeness and juicy sweetness. The fruity sweetness is followed by a long, thin, bitter taste. It is the most Omachi-like of all the Chokyu Bizen Omachi I've had so far, and I like it because of its firm sweetness and umami. It's a shame we won't be able to drink it anymore...

Sake with undisclosed specs. Purchased at the Hankyu Sake Brewer's Festival. I was hesitating between this and MELLOW, so I went for this one. Slightly effervescent and sweet, but with a strong rice flavor. There is also a slight minerality. A little bitterness in the latter half. Before tasting, I imagined it to be sweeter and more fruity, but it is a strong umami sake. It becomes sweeter after a few days than when it is freshly opened. It has a candy-like sweetness and a slight ripeness.

I've purchased Chokaiyama before, but this is my first time drinking Tenju at home. It seems to have been aged for a summer, but it has a beautiful taste and is fresh and gassy. It also has a dry fruity taste. It is a very interesting sake. It tastes juicy and sweet like apples and pineapples when it's closer to room temperature than when it's fresh out of the fridge. Bacchi-shit delicious!

I bought it because it had a different label, even though the junodai nama sake I drank in the past was not my favorite type of sake. The one I drank before was very dry, but it had a strong acidity that made it sour. It wasn't even sweet, but there was no spiciness at all. I was surprised at how different it tasted from the old one. It says that the Yukikomachi I drank in the past also has a strong acidity, so I wonder if Yukikomachi is characterized by its strong acidity. It's a draft sake, but it's light and not so good this time either 😅. The same label was attached even after removing the wrapping paper 😁.

Haginoro-rô for drinking at home after a very long time The citrus-like acidity is impressive. It also has a strong umami. I thought it was perfect while eating. Personally, I would like a little more sweetness. At room temperature, it has a smoky nuance. Drinking it cold again, it is quite smoky. Hmmm, I'm not really into Haginodew 🤔.

After the tasting of Taga, I was given a bottle of Isobeki, which the store owner bought for drinking at home but brought to the store since I don't drink much at home. I thought I was drinking it for the first time, but I had already bought it 3 years ago😅. The review I had read said it was sweet and tasty like grapes, but the sweetness was subdued and the umami was strong and dark. It tastes like it's from the Heki era. I think the reason I couldn't taste the sweetness was because Taga's sake is generally sweet 🤔. I was also given a sample of Kibotsuru Shiboritate. It was Sagabiyori until last year, but the rice seems to have changed this year. I didn't notice a big difference in taste, but it's the first time I've heard of this newly developed rice and I plan to buy it later 😁.

I was informed that it would be crowded right from the start, so I put it off until later. I was taking pictures of myakumyak and saw on social media that it was sold out, so I hurried to visit💦. There were some items for sale but the tasting was over😳 OPUS15 and OPUS13 fire-brewed were not available. The entrée was Thai bean snacks? and Vietnamese snacks 😁These Southeast Asian snacks that are coming out these days are interesting! Mr. Azuma, the master brewer, was there! He said he makes about 200 koku of sake. AZM OPUS 14 Yamadanishiki Junmai Daiginjo Not a flashy type, but sweet and elegant. AZM OPUS 16 Ginbuki Junmai Ginjo Muscat flavor like 4MMP Refreshing sweetness The picture behind this sake is a Southeast Asian mystery snack 🤣. TAGA Lab. Vol1 Junmai Ginjo A one-time test brew. It has a banana-like flavor due to the use of Shiga yeast that produces high levels of isoamyls. It has a banana-like flavor with high acidity and a sweet and sour taste. Junmai Nigori Nama Sake Shuwashu. Sweet, but not too sweet and well-balanced. OPUS 13 Nama Sake originally didn't seem to have a tasting, but I was after it from the beginning, so I bought this one. I thought he would probably buy it. I was told 🤣.

Lastly, Nakamura Shuzo's is68 This brewery has a sake called AKIRA that I bought at a supermarket in Ekimarche some time ago. The main brand is Nichiei, and there are other brands like Nakamuraya, and I think they have too many brands 😅. I wonder if is68 stands for Ishikawa Sake No. 68? I think is68 stands for ishikawa sake no.68? Very fruity, juicy and sweet 😆. This is my favorite type! We moved from KITTE to Osaka City Hall to see the Myakmyak 😁. There were quite a few people there for the myakmyak and many were taking pictures 📸. After this, I finally returned to my hometown for a tasting.

This is completely new to me, Gokoho from Tezuka Sake Brewery. This sake seems to be consigned to Kaganotsuki's Kaketsu, but some sake seems to be consigned to Kanaya Brewery, so I wonder if they use different sake for different specs. According to Gyave's post, Gokoho itself seems to be quite rare! I did a search and found that it used to be a sake brewery, but now it looks like their main business is sake wholesalers and liquor stores. Not modern, but sweeter and juicier than I expected.

The 3rd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival (6) Brilliant Booth I know it's delicious, but I didn't have much of a chance to drink it except at CWS, so... Kimura-style miracle sake Junmai Ginjo Omachi Sweet, juicy, and extremely delicious! If it's this good after being fire-aged, then it must be the raw sake that Nemuchi-san was drinking 🤣. Sanzen Special Junmai Omachi Despite the classic label, it has a fruity taste! Not a flashy type, but calm and gorgeous! Sanzen Junmai Daiginjo Omachi 50 Polished Black Label Gorgeous, juicy, sweet and delicious. I love this type of wine! Shune Yamahai Junmai Omachi Ippiki Hara Sake It doesn't taste like Yamahai, but it is rich, a little peculiar and complex. All of them were delicious, but I didn't buy any because I already have a lot in my basket and there is a tasting event in Ikoma. There were more breweries, but we couldn't drink and buy too much here, so we moved on to the next one! Ryusei brought a sake heater! I forgot to drink the Shirobotan Shiboritate 😿!

The 3rd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival ⑤. Here's another major Niigata brewery, Hakkaisan. I was just about to open a sparkling one, so I waited and drank it 😁. Second fermentation in the bottle - white malted rice awa Shwashy and big bubbles. Light and sour. Dry but not spicy. Junmai Daiginjyo - Limited time only I've seen it before, but this is the first time I've had it. Seems to be a winter-only brew. Not sweet, but more gorgeous than the Hakkaisan I've had so far. Junmai Daiginjo Snow Chamber Storage for 3 years Koji rice Yamadanishiki Kake rice Gohyakumangoku, Yamadanishiki, etc. Alcohol 17%, Sake meter -1.0 1001 yeast, M310 yeast The taste is so beautiful that it is hard to believe that it has been stored for three years. It is round and gentle. It costs about 5,000 yen for a four-pack, and the Sandesi is quite expensive, so I am glad I had the chance to try it this time!

The 3rd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival (4)-2 Sake of Edo Genroku - Reprinted Sake I was told that this sake is not popular among the general public. I was told it's not for the general public but I tasted it 😁. It tastes like Shaoxing sake or aged sake but not aged 😳. They brought these two sake because they thought they needed to have a story to tell. He said he miraculously sold one bottle 🤣. Even though it was 🫶🤣. Edo Genroku Sake Aged Old Sake This is the aged version. They refused to let me try it at first but finally let me try it 😅I liked it because it was sweeter than the one I tried first . It costs 14,300 yen, so I can't buy it that often 🙄. I don't know why they don't let you try it easily, since it's a liquor that you may not like or dislike. I think I saw somewhere in the past that these two products are hard to propose to supermarkets 🤔. He said it's great that they make sake in France, and I told him that Konishi-san also made sake in Australia, didn't you? How did you know that? I told him that Konishi-san also used to make sake in Australia, and he asked me how I knew that. He said some of the younger employees didn't know about it😅. My grandmother used to work part time at Shirayuki, so I feel close to Konishi-san. The salesman who looked like Mr. Mishima was funny 😆.

The sales person seemed to have come from Tokyo even though it was the closest brewery to Yodobashi among the participating breweries. Hiyashi Yashibori Ginjo It's light but has a strong sweetness and gorgeousness. I've had this one in the past, right? It's the most impressive among the ones I drank this time, but I didn't buy it because it's available anywhere in supermarkets etc. 😅 Hiyashiyashibori Junmai Ginjo I have an impression that it has a strong acidity. Hiyashi-bori Daiginjo Gorgeous but lacks impact The taste of the ginjo was more gorgeous and memorable Hiyashibori Junmai Daiginjo I was curious about this new product, but I haven't seen it sold anywhere😅.

The 3rd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival (3)-2 Continued. Special Junmai Sake Purchased and drunk at Yodobashi in the past. It is made from Gohyakumangoku sake produced in Honshu. It tastes just like sake. The brewer said it goes well with sushi, and I really agree. In my previous post, I wrote that it tastes like a veteran enka singer 🤣. Darvish drank this sake when he was a member of the Fighters and liked Kunimei. Hokkaido limited edition Junmai Ginjo This is also made with Ginpu. Unlike previous sake, this one has a gorgeous ginjo aroma. The taste is gentle and refreshing. Hokkaido Limited Edition Junmai Daiginjo Kitashizuku with a 35% rice polishing ratio and a high-cost price of a little over 3,000 yen. Gorgeous fruity and elegant taste. I thought it was good for New Year's 😁. Kuniumare Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 35% polished rice Is it lighter than the Jun Daiginjo-Kitashizuku? Very elegant taste. I thought, basically there are almost no sweet sake in Hokkaido 🤔. I wonder if it is inevitable when you want to match it with seafood?

The 3rd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival (3)-1 I have the impression that Kunimeki is only available at Yodobashi events 🤔. Kunimei Kaisen, a famous sake from Mashike 900ml bottle and label looks classic. It is now a rare type of sake with added sugar. It is a refreshingly light sake with a hint of sweetness. Suitable for eating as its assertiveness is modest. Hokkai Onikoroshi Genzake R40 This sake was released in its original form to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Hokkai Onikoroshi. The normal Onikoroshi is 17 degrees and this one is 20.5 degrees 😳. It is thicker and punchier than the first one. It is also good to drink on the rocks! Junmai Ginpu Kunimare The first two were alsobe, and from here on, the taste changes drastically with Junmai. It is a refreshing mid-meal drink. I think I personally don't like the dryness of Junmai specs more than the dryness of Aru Soze 🤔. I was allowed to drink all the varieties, so I'm running out of characters and will continue...

Then I saw a sake I'd never seen before, so I stopped by and tasted it! It's been a long time since I've tasted a French-made WAKAZE! THE BARREL Pinot Noir It is stored in red wine barrels. Aroma of maturity and Western liquor. Slightly vanilla-like. Slightly dry. THE BARREL Cognac Quite sweet, like a noble wine. It used to be sold for about 3300 yen, but it is now much more expensive 💦. There was a booth next to the rice and agave booths, but I didn't go to the Hanakaze booth because they didn't have tasting 😅. I think Hanakaze is the only refrigeration required type of nama-zake at this event. (Other draft sake is Kikusui Funaguchi, etc.)
