The souvenir from the trip to Ise-Shima was "Masanochi," a representative of the "Saku" series of summit working lunch toast sake brands. The sake had a gorgeous aroma, smooth mouthfeel, and elegant, crisp finish.
The second day of the Ise-Shima trip was "Hayase" from the Takihama Sake Brewery. This sake was used for the dinner party of the Ise-Shima Summit. It was a soft dry sake with a sharp taste.
Day 1 of the trip to Ise-Shima. This is a junmai ginjo from Miyazaki Honten in Mie Prefecture, famous for its Kimmiya shochu. The ginjo aroma was light and mild.
Hakutsuru Nishiki was developed by Hakutsuru as a sibling sake to Yamada Nishiki. It was supplied to Takagi Shuzo (Jyushiyo) and other companies, and this sake from Momokawa was characterized by its gorgeous ginjo aroma and sweetness.
Rikuwada was a crisp sake with a mild aroma and moderate sweetness. For some reason, I get excited when I buy Hana Yuu, it has a cute label and is probably my favorite!
