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.

I've seen Fukunotomo sake with an Akita dog label, but never this one. Fresh and slightly effervescent. A bit of tropical sweetness, but a bit bitter in the second half.

I was given a sample of Dragon Power CWS to drink. He said it tasted a little different from the one he just opened. Polishing ratio 80 A little bit of cemedine. Modern and classic are at odds with each other. It's called "super spicy" but I don't think it's that much 🤔.

After a first visit to a liquor store or a first visit to a department store to buy sake, we went to Ikoma. A customer gave him a bottle of sake😁. It's so golden in color after 3 years 😹. It seems to be aged at room temperature 😅. It's like the Notoji I drank the other day, but I think this one is more beautiful 🤔. I drank it cold, but I guess it's generally a heated type of sake, but I thought I'd rather drink it at room temperature. It's sweet but has a strong sense of maturity, so I guess it's not to everyone's taste 💦.

New brands handled by Icoma Sake Shop They are the first in Hyogo Prefecture to handle Kyo Hina. It's been a long time since I've seen Kyo Hina at a sake shop. I've only seen it at Yamanaka Sake Shop and Takimoto outside of Takashimaya tasting sales and sake festivals. Beautiful, juicy sweetness like a peach. Impressive firm sweetness and a sweet-sour or sour acidity. I thought it was peach at first, but after some time, it also feels lychee-like. It's not a modern type of sake, but it's a very sweet sake and I like it a lot 😋. I'm curious to know if Miyama also has a raw sake or an active nigori (nigori) 🧐.

It doesn't say, but it seems to be a hiya oroshi type sake. I was told there were only a few left, so I asked them to keep some for me 🙏. The top aroma is a bit fruity. The top aroma is a little fruity, and sweet and bitter. Bitterness is a little stronger. It's dry, but it's not just spicy, it's easy to drink with a unique cool feeling, just like when you drink summer sake. I have always wondered since the summer sake, why 500ml🤔? Also, the screw is hard to turn 😅. I wrote that it's dry, but it's not as dry as it sounds 🤔. It has a little bitter taste.

First time in 4 years to drink at home, Nakajimaya. I was curious about this one since Ikoma Sake Shop was raving about it and Hirupeko-san was also drinking it. I got it just in time when there was only one bottle left 😁. Cold sake. It has a little yellow color. It has a sweet flavor like ripe bananas and a sense of maturity. The second half is a bit spicy, but the acidity seems to fade out with a strong impression. Maybe it would be better at room temperature.

The last one is Sentori, a limited edition of SAKELABO TOKYO! This restaurant seems to be connected with SakeLabo Tokyo, and they have a lot of rare sake! Hello World, please. Which one would you like? I was like "Which one? I was like 😅. They have a lot of different kinds and I went with the 4th one 😅. I don't know anything about alcohol not available in Kansai💦. They opened the sealed bottle. It's a bit sweet and tasty, but less acidic than regular Sengoku, so maybe it's easier to drink! I think I might even like it better than regular Sengoku! I wonder when I can go again. I forgot 😅 Tochigi Ai 🥰.

I've been drinking Kangiku since last year when I had a sake future at this store. I drank a lot of Sangiku at home the year before last, but I rarely go to a liquor store that carries it, so I doubt I'll have a chance to drink it again this year 🤔. Here is Denshogiku which I also drank at home the year before last. A little gassy. Fruity, juicy, sweet and delicious. I feel at ease with this kind of taste, it's like home. 🏠️ But I also think that it's important to have a good balance of these 🤔 in the fridge.
