National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part67 Tochigi Ai🥰⑥ 👴🏻👴🏻👴🏻👴🏻👴🏻👴🏻👴🏻👴🏻👴🏻👴🏻👴🏻 Oyama City's Mifuku Sake Brewery I finally got to try this sake that I've been curious about since the Tochigi Kenmin Kai people posted about it 🤣. Polishing ratio 50%, domestic rice, 15%, 1683 yen Sweet but with a classic mouthfeel. I was surprised to find out that it was a Junmai Ginjo with 50% polished rice. It didn't have that kind of atmosphere at all. I forgot to take a picture of the worst part💦. When I asked the brewer if he was from Wakakoma, he said, "You are from Wakakoma, right? He said, "You are from Wakakoma, aren't you? Of course I know him, we've met at the Hankyu event and the Sake-1 Grand Prix 😁.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part66 Tochigi Ai 🥰⑤⑤ Kobayashi Brewery in Kanuma City Kobayashi Brewery took over the business of Ikejima Sake Brewery in Otawara City, which was closed down, and revived it. I'm so glad I didn't think I could drink this. Polishing ratio 55% Yumesasara? 1870 yen? I'm not sure of the specs since there are almost no reviews. They're all posted from the Ikejima Brewery days. My impression is that it's a surprisingly beautiful sake.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part65 Tochigi Ai🥰④ Katayama Sake Brewery in Nikko City There is also a Katayama Sake Brewery of the same name in Fukui that brews Kansai! Kashiwazakari, not Kashiwamori Polishing ratio 65%, Gohyakumangoku from Tochigi, 19 degrees, Sake degree +2, 1950 yen The price is very aggressive for a honjozo! A classic sake with a lot of attitude. The name seems to be "Harazake M" but I don't know what "M" means... The brewer of Wakakoma Sake Brewery gave me a bottle of sake around this time!

Good evening, Mr. Gyve. There were several cases with the same company name at this National Sake Fair 🤔. I didn't drink that much because I use a spitter 😅. I wish they would make the vomit machine mandatory for alcohol events 🤣.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part64 Tochigi Ai 🥰③ Yoshii Sake Brewery in Sano City. As it says on the label, they outsource the production to Yokota Sake Brewery, which brews Nihonbashi in Saitama. Polishing ratio 60%, domestic rice, 15%, price unknown The label says it's 15 degrees though the information they gave me says it's 17 degrees. It tastes like a junmai ginjo but has a nostalgic flavor like a honjozo. No one else seems to be drinking the same label, so I don't know the specs or other details. I even had a person from a certain brewery pour me a bottle of this sake, but he was silent the whole time 😅. I sometimes come to department stores, but I feel like they're getting saltier and saltier.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part62 Tochigi Ai🥰① Finally here we are at the Tochigi booth 🥳! I'm going to drink mainly from breweries I've never tried before! The smallest sake brewery in Japan, Kojima Sake Brewery's Kananobi no Sato was already sold out 😭. Morito Sake Brewery in Yaita City! Shoninzawa, from the Japanese reading of the name. They use a variety of flower yeast and I'm interested in this sake, but I haven't seen it before! Polishing ratio 55%, 16%, 1650 yen. The lack of any information on the official website about the rice polishing ratio or the rice used is a little unfriendly😅. Surprisingly sweet, fruity and delicious 😋. I know there was a liquor store in Izumisunagawa that sold it, but I wonder if they still carry it now. I'd like to try their other products! Nice Masamune👍

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part61 Niigata (3) Ikeura Sake Brewery in Nagaoka City The brand name is derived from the spirit of mutual respect advocated by the Nagaoka-born philosopher, Kyozaburo Nomoto. Polishing ratio 50%, Takane-Nishiki 15.5 degrees, Sake degree +5, Acidity 1.4 2200 yen with box It has a moderate ginjo aroma and a refreshing taste. Light and dry, typical of Niigata. At the Niigata booth, we were served sake by Miss SAKE Niigata, who told us we were drinking only maniacs 🤣.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part60 Niigata 2 Ishizuka Sake Brewery in Kashiwazaki City I don't think I've ever seen this brewery even in an antenna store. I heard that the brewery is located deep in the mountains of Kashiwazaki city and not much of it is distributed. Polishing ratio 60%, Gohyakumangoku/glutinous rice, 15 degrees, Sake degree ±0, Acidity 1.3 1,650 yen Echigo Takayanagi is a brand using only rice grown in Takayanagi. Four-stage brewing using glutinous rice. It is refreshing but has a sweet taste deep inside. I'd like to try other specs like raw sake 🤔.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part59 Niigata (1) Koyama Sake Brewery in Joetsu City The brewery had decided to close down due to a lack of successors, but Biotech Japan, a manufacturer specializing in plant-based lactic acid bacteria, who was interested in sake production, took over the business and kept it going. Kakoshika" is a Japanese word meaning "brewer's aroma" in Japanese. Polishing ratio 90%, Gohyakumangoku 14 degrees, Sake degree -19, 2640 yen Some websites say it's -26% Sake. It's sweet and tasty, but a little peculiar. It tastes beautiful, but it's hard to believe it's 90% polished rice. I was surprised when I checked the price after I got home. The price and the taste are out of balance 🤔.

I would like to try other specs 🤔. Forgot to take a picture 💦. There are other Hiroshima breweries I haven't tried yet, but I'll stop there. The Sanyotsuru with the JAL look-alike label wasn't on the list at the venue, so I guess it was out of stock.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part55 Hiroshima 5 Koizumi Honten in Nishi Ward, Hiroshima City Named "Goko" in commemoration of the Emperor Meiji's party resting at Koizumi Honten The company also dedicates sake to Itsukushima Shrine. What is "petit"? I couldn't figure it out even though I looked at the official website😅. The website is full of Heisei retro feeling and makes me feel nostalgic 🥺. Polishing ratio 50%, Senbon-Nishiki 13-14 degrees, Sake degree +3.0, 1360 yen The official website says Momiji yeast, but the liquor store's website says Setouchi No. 21 yeast. It's a daiginjo made with rice suitable for sake brewing, but it's pretty cheap! Slightly fruity and refreshing.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part54 Hiroshima 4 Ono Sake Brewery in Kitahiroshima-cho I've heard of the name, but there don't seem to be any stores in Kansai where you can buy it. A sake brewery with a history of over 300 years in business Polishing ratio 60%, Hachitan-Nishiki, Momiji yeast, about 2,500 yen? A little gassy, bitter-sweet. I bought this sake and will post the details later 😊. I've been searching for the same product but can't seem to find it...

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part53 Hiroshima 3) Tsuda Sake Brewery in Etajima City Sake brewery with the brand name "Shima no Kaori Polishing ratio 60%, rice used unknown, 15%, Sake degree -1, 1600 yen Aroma is strong, sweet and delicious, but a little heavy and peculiar. From the label, it seems that this brewery is not brewing at the moment and is outsourcing to Miyake Honten. I wonder if it has the same rice polishing ratio as Onomichi Juryo or the same contents as Onomichi Juryo. But I think the taste is slightly different. Personally, I think Onomichi Juryo and Shima no Kaori will make Miyake Honten's reputation explode. And the Chifuku sake I had before was pretty good, too.

I imagined it to be a hard-to-drink classic sake, but was surprised by its fruity, sweet, and modern taste! Hiroshima continues to have a gap between the label and the product.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part51 Hiroshima 1 Hiroshima booth, I only drank Mitani Haru at the end of the first day, so I'm going to attack the ones I don't know even more. Yoshigen Sake Brewery in Onomichi City. It looks like a sake brewery located near Onomichi station, an easy place to visit! Polishing ratio 60%, medium-bodied Shin-Senbon, 15-16 degrees, Sake degree +1, Acidity 1.6 1870 yen More fruity than expected. There is too much gap between the label and the sake😅. This brewery quit brewing their own sake in the 1980's and now consigns it to Kyokuho Shuzo and Miyake Honten. Searching the database for the manufacturer's unique symbol, it seems that this product is manufactured by Miyake Honten of Chifuku.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2㊽ Chiba ⑤. Kamogawa City's Kameda Sake Brewery. I think they were at the Kintetsu Department Store Harukas event around 2019, but my memory might be wrong 🤔. Seems like I was buying Shounosato and Nenohi at that time😅 I remember being surprised to see a bottle of Kotobuki Mangame sitting in the kitchen of Mayumi Ono, who moved to Chiba a few years ago and used to do commercials for Acom and now does commercials for overpayment claims 🤣. Polishing ratio 33%, Special A grade Yamadanishiki from Yoshikawa, 17%, Sake meter degree +3 Sake price: 8,800 yen The most expensive sake I had at the Kokusyu Sake Fair after Sakunaguwashi 😳. Gorgeous, fruity, and a little spicy. It has a very good sake feel to it. I should have tasted it a little more 😅.
