National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 ⑨ Nara ③. Yoshimura Sake Brewery in Uda City They have an image of producing unique sake such as "Tsubutsu-bu-nama" (the product name is not "Tsubutsu-bu-nama" for fire-aged sake 🤣), red rice sake, Italian rice sake, and other unique sake. I drank Nara's sake of the Shinto and Buddhist syncretism, 8-stage brewing, unfiltered unpasteurized sake Polishing ratio 95%, dewy leaf wind 16%, Sake degree -19, Acidity 2.7 Amino acidity 3.0 Yamanokami yeast 1,600 yen The color of sake is yellow😅 Unique aroma 🫶Sweetness is strong and a little sour Quirkiness is quite strong🫶. Tastes like a combination of Yamanokami and ALPHA8 that Kaze no Mori released last year 🫶🫶. RADEN Red Rice Sake Polishing ratio 97%🫶 90% Nara red rice 17% Sake degree -21 Acidity 2.6 Amino Acidity 1.8 1600 This is another unfiltered sake made in the eight-stage brewing process. This one is not too peculiar for the specs (maybe I'm numb to it because the one just before was amazing), but it's like a rosé, sweet and sour and delicious! The president of Kuramoto Sake Brewery, who was talking with Iji-san, put some sake in the bottle for us!

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 ⑧ Nara (2) Nara Toyosawa Sake Brewery in Nara City Too many brands such as Toyoshuku, Kisenju, Gisuke, Ken, etc. 😅 I think the brand power would be better if they were all together rather than dispersed 🤔. Polishing ratio 55%, Aizan 16%, Sake degree -1, Acidity 1.5, 1801 yeast 1950 yen Fruity and sweet with a little bitterness in the second half. It is like THE Aizan! Reasonably priced for the use of Aizan

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 ⑦ Nara ① Go to the Nara booth right next to the Wakayama booth. Fujimura Sake Brewery in Shimoichi-cho The normal brand name is "Bandai Laomatsu". There are a lot of old pine trees in Japan, aren't there? Well, I saw a vending machine of Bandai Old Pine in Imazato a few years ago. There used to be a series of articles introducing Fujimura Sake Brewery and other minor sake breweries in Nara, but I can't find them in my search... I wonder if they disappeared? It was interesting to read about their other sources of income besides sake brewing... Polishing ratio 70%, Nishihomare from Fukuoka Prefecture, 15.5 degrees, Sake degree +3 1250 yen There was no mention of it, but I looked it up and it seems they use a rare rice. It has a strong woody or woody aroma. Maybe that's why I couldn't taste the details💦.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 ⑥ Wakayama ⑥ Meite Sake Brewery in Kainan City Kurogyu, which I don't drink much these days I drank Kurogyu Junmai Daiginjo Polishing ratio 38% Yamadanishiki 16.5 degrees Sake degree +1.5 Acidity 1.3 Amino acidity 0.7 5200 yen It is a little gorgeous and not like Kurogyu, but it is interesting because it is a different type from usual. The taste towards the latter half of the bottle has a unique atmosphere that is typical of Kurogyu. Kurogyu Junmai Ginjo Polishing ratio 50%, Yamadanishiki 16-17%, Sake degree +4.0, Acidity 1.5 Amino acidity 0.9 2200 yen This one is also gorgeous and has a sweet taste for a sake degree of +4.0. I personally preferred it to the Daiginjo.

National Sake Fair 2025 - Day 2⑤. Wakayama 5 Shimamoto Sake Brewery in Kainan City! You have to go there to buy this sake, but they had a tasting and sale at the Expo site a while ago. They are run by a couple in their 80s, and now they have quit brewing their own sake and outsource it to the Kitagawa family in Fushimi. A search shows a photo of them labeled as processors, so it looks like they do their own bottling and watering. However, some products say "manufacturer" on the label, so it may be outsourced or brewed in-house depending on the specs 🤔. Polishing ratio 58% Yamadanishiki/Kinuhikari 15.7 degrees Sake degree +5.0 Acidity 1.4, Amino acidity 1.3, 1900 yen The taste is clean and full. Easy to drink. Nice Masamune👍

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 ④ Wakayama ④ Takagaki Sake Brewery in Aritagawa Town Famous for Ryujinmaru There was also a Kirakusato, but I drank the Ryujinmaru. I haven't had a Daiginjo in 5 years. Polishing ratio 40% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture 18 degrees Sake degree +4.0 Acidity 1.1 Amino acidity 1.1 3,100 yen Almost the same impression as when we drank it before, still chocolate and bitter. A little complexity too. Some people describe this liquor as sweet and fruity, but I honestly don't understand it myself...

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 (3) Wakayama 3) Tencho Shimamura Sake Brewery in Wakayama City Tencho and Jungin are offered to the Imperial Household every year. The only sake brewery in Wakayama with an imperial warrant. They used to have a factory in Nada until 1992. Nada used to have many breweries from other areas. I found out that there are Nihonjo (Kurumizaka), Rashomon, Sekai-Ichitose (Minamikata), Miyako Bijin, Chitosekuru, Bunraku, Hakusetsu, Fukutokucho, Tomiki, Kikugawa, Gekkeikan, etc.... Only Shochiku Ume and Doukan (Chiyoda warehouse) still remain... Rice polishing ratio 70% Hitomebore 15.5 degrees Sake degree +1.0 Acidity 2.0 Amino acidity 1.8 1600 yen Classic. Thin. Like water...

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 (2) Wakayama ② Hatsuzakura Sake Brewery in Katsuragi Town There is a brand of the same name in Shiga, too. It is the first time to see and drink Hatsumitsu in Wakayama though it is a Kansai sake. Is it Kawakamishu because the brewery is located on the north side of the Kino River? Polishing ratio 60% Yamadanishiki from Wakayama Prefecture 15.5 degrees Sake degree +1.0 Acidity 1.5, Amino acidity 1.5, 1,500 yen It has a strong acidity. Can be served cold. I wish I could go to Wakayama and buy a bottle of Hatsuzakura Nama Sake! Eiji-san was talking with a person from Kido at the Wakayama booth!

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2① Wakayama ① On Sunday, the day after the fair, I was bothered by the fact that I couldn't drink so many sakes. I heard from Iji-san, who attended the morning session, that the second entry was half-price! I was told that I could get in at half price if I showed my wristband or ticket screen 😁. I wasn't sure if I should mention the half price, but some people were posting on X, so I thought it was okay 😌. We met up in front of the venue and met up with each other. My first comment when I first met him was "You are so young! 🤣. We briefly introduced ourselves and talked about the Fukuoka Off-line Meeting as we walked into the venue. Where do you want to go? We went to the Wakayama booth, which neither of us had visited yet. Hatsumitsu Sake Brewery in Kinokawa City! The brewery produces a variety of sake brands with names like "Congratulations," "Joy," and "World Cup. The World Cup trademark was once requested by FIFA to be cancelled, but no trademark infringement was found and the sake is still sold today. I've broken it down quite a bit, so please google for more details 😁. They seem to be a research-oriented brewery that has patented a manufacturing process for long-aged sake and obtained a utility model for happoshu (sparkling wine). See the photo for specs 😌. It is more fruity and delicious than I expected. The acidity is also good.

National Sake Fair 2025 part80 Shimane ④ Okadaya Honten in Masuda City. I've never had this brewery, but I think they came to Hanshin department store a few years ago🤔. They brought some sake, but I remember it was mainly shochu and liqueur. Polishing ratio 70% Koshihikari from Yoshizu-cho 15-16 degrees Sake degree ±0 Sake is clear with a sense of matured sake. It has a strong sense of rice. There are only 5 minutes left in the bottle, so this is the end. I wanted to finish the last of the Shinigami, which I've had a few times but don't know where it's sold, but I forgot💦. When the staff tried to remove the wristband from my wrist at the exit, I said "I'm going to cut your wristband off" 😅. After that, we moved to Namba and went to Nakadoya-san, which is famous for its pig's feet and horumon (hormone). I always see a line of people waiting in front of the restaurant, but this was my first time to go in there. It was probably the first time for me to eat pig's feet too 🐷. There was a waiter who looked just like Attack Nishimoto from Geraldine 😁. After the pig's feet, I went to the sake department of Edion Namba, then went to Yamamoto Sake in Shimanouchi and went home 😊. Thank you Umaisan and Nemuchi for your hard work 🤗. This was supposed to be the end 🙄.

Ishu Sake Brewery is Sekushu Sake Brewery. Hwasen Shuzo is Kasen Shuzo. Both read differently than I expected 🤣. I heard it's pronounced "Kitsune" but I can't read it 🤣. The label is cool! Polishing ratio 50%, En no Mai 15%, Sake degree +1.5, 2100 yen They used to use Sakonishiki. They say it is a blend of two yeasts. Fresh, clean and fruity. It's good but needs a little more umami🤔.

Polishing ratio 55%, Sakonishiki from Unnan city, 15-16 degrees, Sake degree +8-9 1980 yen It is a bit difficult to drink due to the graininess and complexity of the flavor. The second half is sharp and dry. It is still a heated sake type.

National Sake Fair 2025 part77 Shimane 1) Only a few hours left to visit the Shimane booth, which has a lot of unknown breweries. Aoto Sake Brewery in Yasugi City. I've seen Aoto Shichisei with its distinctive label for a long time, but I've never seen it sold... When I visited Rafa and Nemuchi at a sake shop in Hokusetsu, there was a store listed as one of their brands, but I couldn't buy it because they didn't have it in stock at the time of my visit... I searched for Sake-no-Wa and found that it's called Seito Nansei 😅. Polishing ratio 58%, Hyogo Yamadanishiki 17 degrees, No.9 yeast 2057 yen Aoto Nanashiboshi is unfiltered and unpasteurized, pressed in a wooden tank It has a refreshing sweet flavor and a fruity taste, but it is a little peculiar. I thought for a moment that it was not so San-in-like, but the peculiarity is a little San-in-like, isn't it?

National Sake Fair 2025 part76 Hiroshima Booth Hayashi Sake Brewery located on Kurahashi Island in Kure City. The president is both the director of a hospital and the president of a brewery, and it looks like he's been working both as a hospital and a brewery for three generations! The current president is a businessman who runs a variety of facilities, including nursing homes and lodging facilities, and is a well-known personality who often appears on TV. He also has a collection of Rolls Royce, kimonos, hanging scrolls, etc. and runs a museum. With that preconceived notion, I wondered about the sake. I wondered about the sake, but I was intrigued by the fact that they have a toji who has won first place in a series of sake competitions. He is also a toji at the Kinbundo Sake Brewery in Yamaguchi Prefecture and a test brewer at the Hiroshima Prefectural Food Industry Technology Center. Polishing ratio 65%, Hachitan-Nishiki 15%, Sake degree +4, 1560 yen Classic taste, but neat and well-rounded. It is spicy but light and a little fruity. The impression is that it must have been brewed with care.

In the Kansai region, Noboru Sake Shop in Nara is the only place that carries it. There seems to be another brand called "Hon Yoshinogawa" in addition to Hokushinryu. Polishing ratio 59%, Kinmon-Nishiki 16%, Sake degree +5, Acidity 1.2 1,900 yen I had an image of a matured or peculiar sake, but it tastes fresh and clean. It tastes fresh and clean. I would say it is rather dry. I'd like to try a draft at least once 🤔.

National Sake Fair 2025 part74 Nagano (1) I lost everyone when I came back from the restroom, so I acted alone until the end. From here on, I'm going to drink only the brands I'm interested in with pinpoint accuracy. Takeju Honke Sake Brewery in Saku City I've been curious about this sake brewery for a while. They also produce a sake called "doburoku" which is written as "126" and I've never seen it before💦. I've seen Gyoenchiku at Yodobashi before, but it was an expensive one. Polishing ratio 70%, Miyamanishiki 18%, Sake degree -9, Acidity 2.0 1,700 yen (price at the venue) Aged at room temperature for more than half a year. It is matured, but it is delicious with a strong umami flavor. The label says it will be better if it is left at room temperature for a few more months, but I think this is about right for me. It seems to have won a gold medal at the Wineglass Delicious Sake Awards 2022!

Fukushi Sake Brewery in Kushiro City He came to the National Sake Fair hoping that it would be a good opportunity for him to expand his business to Kansai. They brought 4 kinds of sake and we asked the brewer about them and chose this one. A new brand launched by five young brewers of the Fukushi Sake Brewery. Goshiki saikumo, or five-colored clouds. Goshiki no Kumo. The products are for exclusive dealers and are not sold in the official online store. Polishing ratio 60%, Ginpu 12%, 1980 yen Not very sweet, but easy to drink. It has a 4MP-like taste. 4MMP(?) with low alcohol content. It seems to be in line with the current trend. I was curious about the other three, but time is short, so on to the next drink...
