This is the 616th one-cup, one-pack festival.
The sake brewer was formerly known as "Hosoi Brewery Honpo" and produced sake brands such as "Nanko" and "Kame-no-i." It is said that one day a monk who was preaching on the street stayed at the Hosoi family and gave the name "Kokugon" to the sake.
The sweetness, acidity, and spiciness are perfectly balanced, so you will never get tired of drinking it, and you will find yourself down to 1/3 of a cup.

100% algal salt rice is used. Koshihikari rice grown in Oki is sprayed with a solution of algae salt (in other words, salt water), which is a very unique method of growing rice.
It's been a long time since I drank Oki Honor at home. ......It's been 10 years! That's right, it's been 10 years since I've been to Oki ('-')
It's a very powerful sake, though it's light and refreshing without any unpleasant taste. No, it has a peculiar aftertaste. A faint peach aroma.
What a mellow sake this is! The more you drink, the more satisfied you will be. It's a very calm and normal sake. The moderate sweetness in the mouth and the spiciness that remains after drinking are in good balance, which is why it is so satisfying.
This is the 614th one-cup, one-pack sake of the festival.
The brewery was founded in 1839 in Higashisonogi-cho, Nagasaki Prefecture, as "Choshiya Brewery", and the brand name at that time was "Emifuku". In 1980, the brewery merged with Reimei Brewery and Unzen Brewery in Nagasaki Prefecture and Kuretake Brewery in Saga Prefecture, and the business rights were transferred to create "Seishu Kine-no-Kawa. I wonder if the name "Kine-no-Kawa" is derived from "Higashi Sonogi River" which flows in Higashi Sonogi. ...... By the way, it is now located in Isahaya City.
It's been quite a while since Nagasaki Prefecture...... is 10 years!
The wine is full of fruitiness and has just the right amount of sweet and sour and spiciness without any peculiarities. The alcohol is a bit too strong on the nose, but it smells like roses........ A bottle of Legs followed a little later, but only a little.

100% Kame-no-o used
The name "Sasa Sunday" is derived from "SAN (acid)", "SUN (sun)", and "SUNDAY (Sunday)" to express the concept of a light and pleasant sake with a sweet and sour taste that can be drunk during the daytime when the "sun" is shining, and on "Sunday" when work begins tomorrow. The logo was designed by Yuri Ueno, a young female designer at the architectural design firm "Sarkigine / Inoue Architects" in Niigata City, using a series of hiragana characters "Sasa Sunday" to represent the image of the coastline just over a small hill from the brewery, the afternoon sun, and waves.
Now, as the name suggests, it is sweet and sour! A little sourness prevails? It is surprisingly rare to find low-alcohol, sweet and sour sake in a cup. It's light, but it's dark and robust enough to give you a sense of satisfaction. It's just like the name says! Legs are hardly noticeable.
This is the 612th one-cup, one-pack festival.
Itami is located in the eastern part of Hyogo Prefecture, where sake brewing was prosperous for a long time until Nada took its place. Here, there used to be a sake brewery called "Kiwenya Yamamoto Honke" that wholesaled sake called "Gomenzake" for the shogunate. The brand name of this sake was "Otokoyama," and it is said that the name was derived from the mountain where Ishimizu Hachiman Shrine is located in Yawata City in the southern part of Kyoto and the area around the shrine, called Otokoyama. However, the cotton shop apparently went out of business at the end of the Edo period (1603-1867). About 100 years later, Yamazaki Shuzo, which opened a brewery in Asahikawa, officially took over the Otokoyama brand from a descendant of Kiwamaya. Yamamoto Honke Brewery in Kyoto does not seem to be related to Otokoyama.
It is a sparkling sake with added carbonation, but the bitterness of the carbonation is not so noticeable. It is a sweet and sour sake, but it is more on the sweet side. It is a sweet and sour sake, but it is more on the sweet side.
The label looks like it says "sake," but upon closer inspection, it could also be "bubbles" that resemble the word "sake," which is clever!
I had bought some, but I ended up drinking it at the brewery's 300th anniversary party sooner. But I wonder if there is a difference between the ice-cold one in the heat and the one chilled in the fridge. Well, it's not surprising.
The sweet peach aroma, the acidity is not so strong unlike the first time I tasted it, and the bitterness is quite noticeable. I guess the refrigerator is cooler than ice, because as soon as the temperature rises a little, the acidity comes out.
I think this sourness is the characteristic of Kasumi sake!
The sake brewed with water from a well dug in the Horimai area, where the brewery is located, was so delicious that they named it "Horinoi," which means "sake made from Horimai well water. Shiwa Town, where the brewery is located, is said to be the birthplace of the Nanbu Touji clan.
A slightly sweet green tea aroma. A dry sake with a gradually spreading flavor. Legs are not noticeable at all.
The flower-patterned cup looks like something I've seen somewhere, but it seems to be Horinoi's cup of lily of the valley sake.
This is the 611th one-cup, one-pack festival.
It is said that the name of the brewery comes from the auspicious "cranes" that flew into the Akigawa River that runs south of the brewery.

Hidehiko, which straddles Fukuoka and Oita, and is known as one of the "Three Hikosan Mountains" and has been a mountain for ascetic practitioners and a famous rock-climbing spot since ancient times.
It is a sweet sake with a strong acidity, and although not as rich as a mellow sake, it has a full mouthfeel.
100% Gohyakumangoku from Shonan
The name of this sake, which was jointly developed with Motox, a wine importer, means "wind blowing from the shore to the sea," and was named with the idea that it will spread its wings from Shonan to the rest of the country and around the world.
As soon as the bottle is opened, a pleasant sweet aroma wafts through the air, with a rich apple aroma on the nose and a refreshing sourness on the palate. Fruity and dry. It looks quite good when drunk cold!
Slightly yellowish liquid with some clear legs.
The Tokujun mentioned above was actually three years old, and the Jungin was one year and eight months old, but this is two years old.
It also has a strong acidity, and the top aroma is like that of old sake. Well, maybe, after all, it's ...... bad to let a cup of sake sit too long at room temperature? At first, it was not at all, but after a while, a couple of thicker legs were formed.
This is the 609th one-cup, one-pack festival.
The above-mentioned special pure was actually three years old, but this one is one year and eight months old.

This is the six hundred and eighth one-cup, one-pack festival.
It's been quite a while since I've had a Miyoshigiku, and I should have learned a long time ago that I should drink ...... cups of sake a little faster (smiles).

I see that it was made 3 years ago...old sake, right?
......Gaaaah! The tabs are tabs...!
