Liqueur
Ibukijima Island, off the coast of Kagawa Prefecture's Kannonji City, where the brewery is located, is famous for its iriko (dried sardines), which are roasted and marinated in kawazuru (a type of sake). The iriko is roasted and marinated in Kawatsuru sake. The iriko is served as a garnish and can be eaten as is or added to the sake.
If it is roasted again, the aroma will be more intense. The richness and flavor of the sake explodes when it is heated in a microwave oven.
This is the 622nd one-cup, one-pack festival.

It's been 8 years ....
Gassan is famous for its impregnable castle, Gassan Tomita Castle, and the best sake of the year was named "Gassan" and presented to the lord as the best sake. The name "Gassan" was derived from this historical background, aiming to "always produce the best sake like that offered to the lord". In other words, the origin of the name "Gassan" is the castle rather than the mountain.
It still has a slight effervescence and a sense of frothiness, and when I poured it into a glass, fine bubbles appeared. The full-bodied and tasty flavor is followed by a sweet and sour aftertaste.
A slight yellow color and a couple of clear legs.

The name comes from its own spring, which is designated as a famous water source.
It is a very refreshing and clean sake. The top aroma is of cherries, and the attack is clean! Yet, it gradually develops a strong umami flavor and a gentle sweetness that spreads.
The liquid is clear and colorless, and there are a lot of legs, although they are not clearly visible.

It's funny, I didn't remember the attack being "spicy" today, even though the contents are probably the same as the last one with the Daruma label. Today, I have the impression that it is a sweet sake. The top aroma is also cemedine and kabosu.
This is the 621st bottle of the One Cup One Pack Festival.

It is said that the name comes from the dream of the first brewer that a crane landed on the Zaita River, which runs just north of the brewery.
It's so spicy! That's what I thought at first, but as I drank more, I was surprised to find that it was not as spicy as I had expected, and the sweetness started to come through. A slight sourness can be felt when it passes through the tongue and after swallowing. There is a slight aroma of cemidine and a hint of ground tobacco.

Doburoku is brewed by "Genshijinkai" in Kasai City, Hyogo Prefecture.
The taste is a bit like a "moro-mororo shuwa-shuwa" (a kind of "mash"). When you put it in your mouth, you can tell that it is still fermenting because of the shwash of the mash.
It's not like eating hard rice like the cup of muddy sake I drank the other day, but more like eating sour, shwashy porridge. Carbonated porridge. The spiciness and sweetness come in the midst of the sizzle.

I've never seen a cup of Doburoku before! It was 150ml to give it a buffer, and the lid had a hole in it, just like a hole drilled with a cone! I wrote "hole" on the lid.
I thought I mixed it, but then I realized after drinking half of it ...... that the bottom of the bottle tastes like thick moromi! It tastes like rice, like I'm eating rice. The acidity is rather strong, but the sweetness is superb. I guess I'll just have to suck it down with water at the end. ......
