Moriguchi Keihan Department Store, Hokuriku-Shinetsu Good Food Festival/Japanese Sake Festival (6) The booth of Kokushimusou, Hokkaido. This was also a mannequin who poured one after another silently. Junmai sake Kokushi Musou The first taste of rice is delicious, followed by a crisp, light finish. Junmai Ginjyo Kokushimusou Limited Release Nama-Nazake This sake is made with Kitashizuku sake rice. A limited edition sake for a special event. The taste is slightly acidic with a refreshing dryness. Junmai sake Kokushimusou Nama Sake rice used is Comet. Slightly nutty aroma. The mouthfeel is full with a slightly nutty mid-palate. Junmai Ginjo-shu Kokushimusou Limited Nama-zake The rice used for this sake is "Kitashizuku". The balance of umami and acidity is good, which is my favorite type of sake. This one was missing and in the wrong order, but that's it.

Moriguchi Keihan Department Store, Hokuriku-Shinetsu Good Food Festival/Japanese Sake Festival (7) Booth of Takashimizu, Akita Prefecture. Takashimizu brews Junmai Daiginjo packaged sake, which was the topic of conversation at the Kansai Sake-no-Wa group, using a special brewing process. The mannequin from the neighborhood I mentioned earlier gave us a tasting. ◉Takashimizu Sake-no-Kuni Junmai-Shu The first taste is slightly fruity and sweet, with a slight spicy aftertaste, and the swing from sweet to spicy seems to be minimal and well balanced. ◉Takashimizu: Special Junmai Sake with a fresh yeast yeast yeast. The acidity is a bit high for a sake made from a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast. ◉Takashimizu Daiginjo A standard, cohesive sake with a smooth, smooth finish. ◉Takashimizu Junmai Daiginjo A beautifully balanced flavor with an elegant sweetness. The cost is quite reasonable. ◉Takashimizu Dry Junmai Mineral, clean and dry with little sweetness. This time we cut off the tasting after two hours and went home to visit the City Hunter pop-up store on the 6th floor.

Moriguchi Keihan Department Store, Hokuriku-Shinetsu Good Food Festival/Japanese Sake Festival⑤. Booth of Takarayama Brewery, Niigata Prefecture. Takarayama Brewery was at the Hankyu Brewery Festival in 2022, but in July 2024, they took over the business, changed the name to Takarayama Brewery, and started anew. This one is handled by a mannequin. I have been talking to the mannequin a lot lately, and this time, coincidentally, he lives in the same city and let me sample everything. Junmai ◉ Junmai Junmai is a refreshing yet slightly spicy sake. Junmai Ginjo The attack is sweet, with a punch, but overall not too sweet. ◉Ginjo A spicy, clean, full-bodied sake with a refreshing finish after swallowing. Aki-agari Akihitohitohi A very mellow, sweet and delicious sake. The sweetness is calm and gentle. Takarayama: Shinnosuke, fire-brewed sake, labeled with a rice bag. This sake has a very good flavor. The attack is sweet and tasty, with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Slightly bitter aftertaste. ◉TAKARAKAMA Yonebukuro Label Koshihikari Fire-brewed undiluted sake. 14% alcohol by volume. Slight sweetness. Slightly sweet, with a refreshing aftertaste. More impressive than the previous sake.

Moriguchi Keihan Department Store, Hokuriku-Shinetsu Good Food Festival/Japanese Sake Festival④. Booth of Kiku-Masamune, Hyogo Prefecture. This time, I was able to talk with many young brewers. I heard that major breweries are having a hard time because of the rice riots in 2021 and the high price of rice from non-contracted farmers. The more rice they make, the more it costs. ◉ Kiku-Masamune Tokusen Kamikyo Hiyoshi Oroshi The Kikumasamune is the best sake in today's lineup. It is indeed a refreshing sake. ◉Hyakumoku ALT 3 This is a high-end brand, but the price was raised in October. Fruity and easy to drink, with a sake-like feel at the end. A blend of Hyakumoku's Junmai Daiginjo and Kiku-Masamune's Junmai-standard sake. Hyakumoku Junmai Ginjo Dry but fruity with a clean finish. Hyakumoku Junmai Daiginjo Hyakumoku will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year. It is a very tasty, refreshing yet full-bodied sake. The brewer also drinks sake from other breweries, and when I asked him which sake he liked best besides his own, he replied, "I like sake from the Tohoku region. He answered, "I like sake from the Tohoku region, and I like 00 Masamune. He told me that he joined Kiku-Masamune because he liked Hyakumoku, and that Hyakumoku also uses Tohoku yeast.

Moriguchi Keihan Department Store, Hokuriku-Shinetsu Good Food Festival / Sake Festival ③. Booth of Shirataki Sake Brewery, Niigata Prefecture. The brewer we saw at Abeno Harukas. The brewer told us that he thought he had seen us at Abeno Harukas. Well, I didn't give him the one from the second time I went to Harukas... ◉Kamizennjosui Sparkling The first time I went to Harukas, I had a glass of Kozen Nyosui Sparkling, which was chilled and refreshing, with a hint of sweetness and a clean finish. I thought it would be sweet and low in alcohol, but it is a very strong sake. ◉Tanrei Dry Uonuma Junmai Daiginjo A Junmai Daiginjo with a very clean, light and dry taste, just like the model. ◉Kiwi-derived yeast by Jozen Junmai I thought it was a liqueur, but then I learned that it is properly sake and made with kiwi yeast. Sweet and sour, low 8% alcohol. It's hard to match it with sake drinkers, but it seems to be made as a gateway for people who don't drink sake.

Moriguchi Keihan Department Store, Hokuriku-Shinetsu Good Food Festival / Sake Festival (2) The main sake booth of Hokuriku, Tenkafusake. The fishing signboard was for Toyama Prefecture's Sanshaku 🤣. We came to meet our hobby sake shop owner who has been a great help to us. Kuzuha had the same lineup as we had at the mall, and we were allowed to drink only one bottle, which we did not drink. ◉Akebono no Yoru Junmai Ginjo Akebono no Yoru Junmai Ginjo is a refreshing mid-meal sake with a moderate acidity. It would go well with sashimi. I had never heard of the Takazawa brewery, but I was surprised to learn that all of their sake is pressed in the tank. When the sake shop owner saw another customer at the cash register buying HAYAKAWA's Habutae walnuts, a famous confectionery in Fukui, he said, "It's rare that they sell them here! I like it best among Japanese sweets in my life", so I secured it in my basket before the sake 🤣. There was also a corner of Hokuriku sweets beavers, so I bought some 😁.

Moriguchi Keihan Department Store, Hokuriku-Shinetsu Good Food Festival / Sake Festival (1-2) ◉Sado Daiginjo Premium Made with Koshi-tanrei, Shizuku-kiri. Pineapple aroma, slightly mild and mellow taste. The yeast used to be a Hiroshima Ginjo yeast, but the flavor was not very consistent, and even though there were 89 breweries in Niigata Prefecture, only a handful of them won gold medals at the National New Sake Competition. It seems that Niigata's sake rice and Niigata's yeast are more compatible. The combination of Koshitanrei and Niigata's new yeast (G74?) is becoming mainstream. ◉Sado Daiginjo Premium Nama-Shu This sake is aged for two years in a cold storage cellar (-8°C) built at a cost of 400 million yen. It is too soft on the palate, with a mellow pineapple feel. It has an alcohol content of 18%, but it is mild and refreshing. I stopped by to buy some on the way home and they let me drink it again 😆 They also talked about yeast for about 20 minutes. The brewer said he used to be a brewer and yeast maker, but when he became an old man, he was put in charge of sales. It was fun talking about koji. At the end, he was talking with a Tohoku accent, so I guess we got to know each other a little better.

Moriguchi Keihan Department Store, Hokuriku-Shinetsu Good Food Festival / Sake Festival ①. Tenryohai Sake Brewery booth, Niigata Prefecture. For some reason, this booth was tucked away from the other tasting booths. The brewery owner from Sado Island was there, and we were the first to be drawn in for a tasting, and had the longest conversation with him. This is a brewery where young brewers are taking on many challenges, and it seems that Garakudai is now the larger producer, while Tenryohai is the main local brewer. ◉Test brew 2025 Tenryo-haii is a local brewery that uses yeast from the tunnels of the Sado gold mine. It was developed in collaboration with a testing laboratory in Niigata. It has an aroma, a rummy and gaseous taste. It has the mouthfeel of a white wine, but in a modern style. Only 96 bottles available in Kansai. Junmai Ginjo Man This sake is only available at Niigata Furusato Mura, a roadside station. It has a slightly sweet taste and is a classic in the best sense of the word. It is slightly sweet and tasty with a nice classic flavor. ◉冴 Daiginjo A refreshing sake, available at most restaurants for around 1,000 yen per glass. Sake level is around 7-8. ◉Honjozo dry sake Another Niigata Furusato Mura limited edition. The newspaper-wrapped label is intriguing. The sake has a strong sake taste with an alcohol content of 18%. I could not detect any gaseous sensation. Following...

Gifu Pref. Kamo-gun. Heiwa Nishiki Brewery Co. PEACE Pink Special Junmai Unfiltered Unrefined Hidahomare Heiwa Nishiki Brewery transferred its business to Sake Capital led by big boss Bungo Tanaka. The new company officially started its activities on June 3, 2025. The label still pops. We will have it with cold sake. The color is clear and almost transparent, despite the fact that it has been aged. The nose has a slightly ripe, sweet fruity aroma with a hint of alcohol. It has a smooth mouthfeel and flows smoothly down the throat. The ripe fruit and caramel aroma that spreads in the nose is moderate. After swallowing, the acidity rises. The rich umami and amino acids chase after you at the same time, giving the wine a dry, sweet flavor. The sense of maturity is gentle and soft, with a mild mellowness. The alcohol is felt in the aftertaste, while the dull bitterness and a little sharp pungency stimulate the tongue. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic) Rice used: 100% Hidahomare Polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 15%.

Aichi Pref. Kitashitara-gun, Japan. Sekiya Brewery Co. Houraizumi Aged Nama-Shu Wa Junmai-Ginjo I recommended this to a friend of mine who is not a big sake drinker. He also drank Jikin, but he liked this one better. I personally can't miss this matured raw sake. I had it cold. The color is clear and almost colorless even though it is aged. There is no matured aroma, but a slight citrus aroma and alcohol aroma. The mouthfeel is slightly juicy and viscous. The nose is citrusy with a faint caramel-like aroma. The synergistic effect of these notes creates a complex flavor. In the beginning, one senses a strong acidity and thinks that a lump of acidity remains on the tongue, but from the mid-palate, a rich sweetness and umami, as if concentrated from very ripe fruit, spreads in the mouth, and the residual acidity tightens the taste. The lingering sweetness and umami taste is then brought out again by the remaining acidity. I can't describe it well, but it is still delicious. I used to think that ordinary Japanese sake was good, but I can say that aged nama-zake is also good. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic) Polishing ratio:50%. Alcohol Content:15%.

Abeno Harukas Kintetsu Main Store Niigata Food and Sake Festival (5) Booth of Nakagawa Shuzo and Echino Hakugan. So we were introduced by Echigo Bijin and tasted while the world's best sake taster explained the tasting. Kuromatsu Normal Sake It is well-balanced, with no alcohol taste, and despite being light and dry, it has a nice umami taste, and a bit of cream cheese-like creaminess. The quality of the sake is revealed when it is heated up to 50 degrees Celsius. ◉Hiyaoroshi Ginjo Today's recommendation. It is a ginjo of Koshitanrei. The aroma is nice, but the best part is that the texture on the palate is mellow and elegant, with a smooth entry and the thickness of the rice coming out in a flash. It is very refined. I was really impressed with the way he described the taste and the way he conveyed it. The knowledgeable explanations of the Omachi Jundai from Niigata Prefecture and the Shinnosuke Jungin, not to mention the taste, were very fulfilling, as he talked about the brewery and sake rice. I was so absorbed in the conversation that I did not take any pictures. I took only one photo, which I will upload later. I went home satisfied with my visit.

The mannequin also has SAKE DIPLOMA and wine expert certifications, and was a judge at the Bishu-Kon. Echigo Bijin Junmai Ginjo The impression was that it was quite spicy. Echigo Bijin Junmai Sake The taste of this sake is very dry and crisp when served cold, but when served at room temperature, the sweetness of the flavor comes out. ◉Echigo Bijin Junmai Daiginjo Cat Label A sake with a cute illustration of a cat on the label. Elegant, slightly sweet, and sharply refreshing. Echigo Bijin Kijoshu Echigo Bijin is a sake with a Sake Brix of -49, but it is not too sweet. When I told him that I have a stupid tongue, he went out of his way to take me to a place where the world's number one sake taster was selling sake today. I've been talking with the mannequins a lot lately, and there are some unexpected encounters.

Abeno Harukas Kintetsu Main Store Niigata Food and Sake Festival (3) The booth of Kiminoi Sake Brewery and Kiminoi. It was the brewer who always responded to us who became familiar with our faces. I forgot to ask his name again... Kimi no I Yamahai Junmai, unfiltered, once fired. This is a new sake, pressed in January of this year, so it has been sitting for about six months. The mouthfeel is smooth and gently sweet, ending elegantly with lactic fermentation-derived acidity. There is no sense of maturity. ◉Kun-no-i Yamahai Junmai Ginjo Sake with a light overall taste and a refreshingly sour aftertaste. It is said to go well with cheese and other foods. ◉Kiminoi Yamahai Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-Ginjo 18% alcohol by volume. The freshness of the raw sake and the complexity of the unfiltered flavor. It has a thicker, punchier taste that expands with alcohol. ◉Kun-no-i Yamahai Junmai Daiginjo Aroma is restrained and melon-like, with a clean, elegant acidity. The aroma is restrained and melon-like, with a clean, elegant acidity. ◉Kumikun-no-i Junmai Aki-agari The mouthfeel is smooth and the umami is very well balanced.

Thank you for always being so attentive to our needs.

Abeno Harukas Kintetsu Main Store Niigata Food and Sake Festival (2) Kondo Sake Brewery and Koshinokaroku's booth. Not Ehime's "Hanaheizakura" or Gunma's "Akagisan," but Kondo Sake Brewery, which brews "Koshinokaroku" in Gosen City, Niigata. This time, it was this brewery that we were looking for. Gosen City is rich in water resources, and the source of tap water in the city is usually soft groundwater. The sake rice, Koshitanrei, is also locally grown. The brewery owner is 36 years old and came back to the brewery last year and will be involved in the production from now on. ◉Koshinoshiroku Junmai Ginjo Sake rice is Koshitanrei. The sake rice is Koshitanrei, which has a clean, clean, slightly dry taste with a hint of sweetness. It also has a hint of sweetness. This sake was featured in the "Mimashinbo" magazine, but why hasn't it made its way to the Kansai region? ◉Drunken Star Honjozo The illustration on the label was drawn by Ogawa Imocen, the father of Chikara Ogawa, who discovered Ogawa yeast. It has a sharp aftertaste, with a great umami flavor. It is an everyday evening sake. ◉Koshinomishika Daiginjo The rice used for this sake is Koshitanrei. The sake is brewed in small quantities and is delicious with a hint of sweetness without any cloying taste. The sake has a clean and crisp taste, but in general it has a clean and beautiful impression without any cloying taste. On the last day, almost all the bottles were sold out.

This was the first thing I saw and was recommended to try. ◉ Sasa-Jirushi, Junmai, unfiltered sake. This is their best-selling sake. It has a strong flavor, perhaps because it is an unfiltered sake. It goes well with fatty autumn fish. ◉Sasa-jirushi Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Sake I was told that this sake is easy to drink, but since it is also unfiltered, it has a strong flavor and is delicious. ◉ Sasazuku Contest Sake Daiginjo A 17% sake with a clear but intense flavor with no cloying taste. I thought it was all Sasashuku, but I had never heard of the Sasajin brand. The sake is distributed locally and there are not many sales channels in the Kansai region, so the price has been raised, but the increase is said to be limited. Overall, I like the image of a strong flavor.

Since we have almost two hours until the next tasting, we decided to have a server drink at "HOKURIKU+" where bouken-san had a drink a while ago. My first drink. ◉Chouseiomai Ishikawamon Junmai Ginjo The nose has a slightly burnt aroma. It's sweet and full-bodied, but tastes like something from the countryside. I think bouken-san said it tasted like rice bran. It certainly has a hint of that. I had never seen this brand in bouken's review, so I wanted to try it.

Hanshin Department Store Event October 8 - 14, 2025 (3) I wondered where Ryu-Yu sake was from, but it was from the Inokashira brewery. This was also supported by a mannequin. ◉Inogashira Junmai Ginjo Aki-agari Unfiltered Nama R6BY The sake is slightly fruity and a bit fresh despite being an akiagari. It has a tangy aftertaste. ◉Inogashira Hiyaoroshi R6BY The first sake was a very fresh, slightly fruity and slightly fresh, but still very fruity, with a piquant aftertaste. It also has a tangy aftertaste. ◉Ryuyuyu Hitogokochi Tonbo The sake world is known for its dragonflies, such as Senkou, Wakanami, and Izumibashi, but we have discovered a new type of dragonfly. The fruity mouthfeel is followed by an acidic finish. ◉Ryuyuyu Hitogokochi 59 R6BY Another fruity mouthfeel, with a slightly astringent taste from the acidity. The acidity is very strong and gives the sake a Junmai (pure rice) feel. ◉Inokashira Junmai The price tag says "medium", but the acidity is a bit more pronounced. While tasting at the Wakasa booth, we talked about an event at the Moriguchi Keihan Department Store, and another customer asked if there was one at Moriguchi Keihan as well. and we exchanged information about the event. I was informed that a Niigata sake event was currently being held at the Kintetsu Department Store in Abeno Harukas. We then headed to our next destination...
