Shiga Sake Festival in Otsu 202511 Furukawa Sake Brewery, Tomegawa booth. A small family-run brewery in Shiga Prefecture. The toji (master brewer) is invited to the brewery during the sake brewing season. He is a big Hanshin fan. Junmai Ginjyo Nama Genjozo (Unblended Sake) Made with Ginbukiyo (a Japanese sake brewer's spirit). The taste is a bit fruity, but it's also very rich and mellow. The taste is also a bit unique. ◉Teirogawa Tokubetsu Junmai Mizukagami Nama-narashu The taste is rich and mellow, but the aftertaste is still very unique. The color of the label has changed. I didn't really notice it when I bought it before, but I guess the unique flavor in both cases is like an off-flavor in the aftertaste.

Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 202510 Sho Shiki Sake Brewery, Sho Shiki booth. The brewery's toji was here as well. They brought the same MONSOON and other series as the Takashimaya Sake Festival. ◉Shaoshiki Kijoshu Special Arc Cold Front Orizake EXTREME 2024-2025 <Limited Edition for Shiga Sake Festival>. This is a limited edition sake only available here. The taste is elegant and light, with a green apple-like fruitiness. ◉Shojo-shiki Kojo-shu Special Arc Cold Front 2024-2025 This is the regular orizashi version, from the production line that came out about a week ago. This one also has a green apple flavor, refreshing and clean. ◉Shojo-shiki Kijo-shu Special Arc Cold Front 2023-2024 Mild and mellow. Still some minerality. ◉Shiki Kijoshu Special Arc Cold Front 2022-2023 Aged for 3 years. The most robust flavor, minerality and drinkability. The same specs and different ages are compared to show how interesting kijoshu can be. I was impressed by the service spirit of the company, such as the fact that they made and brought a special sake that was only available at the event.

Shiga Sake Festival in Otsu 20259 Hirai Sake Brewery, Asakayousei booth. The husband was in charge of the Hi-irei and the wife was in charge of the Nama-shu. Asakayousei Junmai Sake, Sake brewing for 3003000 years label I asked for a standard sake, and this was the hi-ire junmai sake. It has a lively acidity that is typical of junmai sake. ◉Hokufunji Junmai Ginjo This sake has a strong acidity and a sake-like quality. It also has an astringent taste, which I don't like. Asakayousei Junmai Daiginjo A retro label with an austere taste. It is elegant and clear, but lacks one more characteristic. ◉Mizukagami Tokubetsu Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu Fresh and clear, but with acidity and a slight aftertaste of off-flavors. Asakayousei Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-Nishiki Mineral, mild and loose on the palate with a full-bodied body. Forgot to take a picture... Asakayousei Junmai Activated Nigori Kenmei I gave it to someone else to sample first, and he was able to drink the first sip. It took 3-4 minutes to open and close the bottle. It had a nice rice flavor and a dry bitter aftertaste. I forgot to take a picture of this one too...

Shiga Sake Festival in Otsu 2025⑧ Kita Sake Brewery and Kirakucho booth. Quite a few people lined up at this booth. ◉Kirakucho Josen Nama-nazake Another retro label caught my eye. I tend to respond to retro labels these days. Served at room temperature. A standard old-fashioned sake with a robust umami flavor. It has a good umami and a slightly mellow sweetness. A limited edition sake from last year. Sold only in one bottle, it is a dangerous sake with an alcohol content of 20 degrees Celsius, although it is so good that you can drink it all the time. ◉Kirakucho Junmai-shu second Second is an evolution of first. The second second is an evolution of the first, with a gentle citric acidity and a sweet, sour and refreshing taste. It is the first of its kind at this brewery. ◉Kirakucho Junmai Ginjo-shu first The concept of first is to make sake that even first-timers can enjoy. The aroma is gorgeous and the taste is sweet. Mineral and a little loose. ◉Kirakucho Junmai Daiginjo Chukkumi kore A premium sake with a clean, elegant flavor that can be drunk like water. It also has a pleasant bitter aftertaste.

It has a gentle sourness, and it was like my mouth was filled with sourness the whole time, yummy. ◉Kyoryoshinou 2024 BY Namaisho Junmai Ginjyo Namaishu Jinryokumai This one is fresh, with a full flavor, but the acidity is subdued. A little chocolaty. ◉AS TIME GOES BY Namaishimo Junmai Namaishu This is an aged sake, just like the name says: "As Time Goes By", with a sticker attached to the 2021 Nama Sake Plan for Aged Sake. It has a chocolaty and mature taste, but also has a minerality and a fullness that is like a flèche even though it is matured.

Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 2025⑤. Kawashima Sake Brewery, Matsu-no-Hana booth. I was surprised to find that he was not the usual sales person this time. I asked him about it, and he said he was in charge of the Osaka area and was going to another event today. Matsu-no-Hana Ginjo SORA Space Matsu-no-hana" is a label I have never seen before. It has a crisp acidity and a slightly refreshing taste. ◉Josen Matsu-no-Hana I was so excited to try this sake because of its classic label, but I forgot to take a picture. I forgot to take a picture of it... It's the kind of sake you can linger over and drink forever. The lineup was different from usual, so it was nice to have something fresh.

Good evening, Mr. Nemuchi. I don't mean to be rude, but it's not a big warehouse and I was surprised to see that there wasn't just one sales person 😅. I went to Yamaya the other day, which has an abundance of pine blossoms, and I thought they have a lot of product line 🤔.

Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 2025④. Sato Shuzo and Kohama booth. This time, all the sake were made with Yamadanishiki. ◉Kohama Junmai Ginjo-shu Unfiltered Nama-shu Nama-shu Fruity aroma. The aroma is fruity, with a slightly bitter chocolate flavor and a rich, mellow flavor. This was my favorite type of sake. Kohama Tokubetsu Junmai Sake A standard sake. It is often served at restaurants that serve funazushi. A good food sake. Junmai Ginjo Namazu Jiyu Read as "ume naru jiyu" (literally, "while being born, it is free"). Nama-zake. I think they said they use a yeast that produces high malic acid. Pleasant acidity with a fruity taste. They also make ume (plum) sake and a blue colored sake that is a ginjo-shu.

Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 2025③. Suzu Masamune, Biwa no Chouju, ALL SHIGA booth. Biwa no Chouju Junmai-shu Tasted a quick sample as I have had it before. It was a very good tasting, with a citrusy acidity and a richness that converged with a firmness. I have the impression that not much has changed. No brewer or brewer's staff came to this booth, but people from other breweries were helping out as part of the sake brewers' association. By the end of the event, one portion of the sake was gone. We were in a bit of a hurry to get started this time, as time was running short from the beginning.

This collaborative junmai sake is a blend of sake from 30 member breweries of the Shiga Sake Brewers Association. This year is the last for this initiative. The taste is indescribably complex, with a strong assertion of acidity. It is now produced by Kita Sake Brewery, and I was glad to be able to drink it for the last time.

Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 2025①. Suzu Masamune, Biwa no Chouju, ALL SHIGA booth. Arriving at the station nearest to the Biwako Hotel where the event was held, I had some time to kill so I went to a ramen restaurant produced by Minoru Sano, who is known as the devil of ingredients in the ramen industry, to get some food for my stomach. I was able to order without waiting in line, and arrived at the venue just in time. There was a long line to get in, and we didn't get in until 10 minutes later. The first thing I headed straight for was Suzu Masamune, which I had been aiming for. I was approached by the liquor store that BOUKEN-san patronizes and greeted him. ◉ Suzu Masamune Junmai Ginjo The sake has a strong umami with a hint of gas. It is a 3-year aged sake with a fruity richness. It's really good! It seems that it is not available for purchase since they are not making it anymore. After the event, I visited a liquor store in Kusatsu and told them I went to a Shiga sake event in Otsu, and the owner of the store was there too. According to the information from the liquor store, a liquor store that had Suzu Masamune in stock had given it to him for the event. He said that the sake was well preserved and had been aged for about 5 years.

It's Sake Day 🍶. Shizuoka Prefecture. Kakegawa City. Enshu Yamanaka Sake Brewery Co. Aoi Tenshita 60% Junmai Ginjo Aizan Unfiltered Aged We bought this sake because we talked to them most often at the Kyoto Takashimaya Sake Festival and learned a lot from them. I bought it because I talked to him most at the Kyoto Takashimaya Sake Festival and learned a lot from him. The color is yellow with a slight greenish tinge. The nose has a slightly nutty, buttery, and caramel aroma. Smooth mouthfeel with a slightly oily feel. The honey-like sweetness and aroma spread in the mouth, followed by sweetness and umami that match the savory, mature taste that passes through the nose. The aftertaste is bitter to spicy. It has an interesting and complex flavor profile. He told me about Shizuoka yeast, saying that this was the only thing to remember. He came back to the institute and said that since he was from Shizuoka Prefecture, he had to make Shizuoka yeast, so he improved the yeast varieties and created all kinds of wonderful yeast. That was how Shizuoka became known as the "Shizuoka of Ginjo. The Shizuoka yeast, HD-1, is extremely difficult to handle, and even the breweries in Shizuoka can hardly use it. The only breweries that use it are Kikusen, Shoyuki, and the now-defunct Kunika (the brewer is a disciple of Denbei).

Good morning, kozou-san 😊I also heard that if you use HD-1 yeast and don't change the brewing method depending on the difference between the sake rice, Honorifuji and 2022 Honorifuji, the aldehyde aroma will be too strong to sell 😅I'm interested to hear about the yeast and sake rice 😳.

Today was my first time at the Expo, and I went home early after experiencing the hellish admission restrictions. Since it is difficult not only to enter but also to stand in line at the pavilions, we shifted gears to drink beers from all over the world. Still, there were too many people in line, and in the end I only drank a Czech beer (1,250 yen) and a can of Maltese beer (1,600 yen)... I went back and didn't drink enough, so I opened a bottle of Asahi Super Dry (218 yen) and a can of this one. Shizuoka Prefecture. Hamamatsu City. Hana-no-Mai Sake Brewery Co. Hana-no-Mai Ichigou One of the "Ichigou®" brands of Agnavi Corporation, which develops Japanese sake brands. Purchased at a nearby co-op. Drink it cold. The nose has a little apple, a little grain, and alcohol. The mouthfeel is smooth. As it rolls on the tongue, the acidity typical of junmai sake expands, and a grain-like aroma wafts into the nose, with a hint of bitterness and astringency. The aftertaste is a bit sharp and pungent, standard sake. It's been a while since I've had a Hana-no-Mai, but there aren't many on the market. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic) Polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 15.5

Yamanashi Pref. Hokuto City. Take-no-i Sake Brewery Co. Take-no-i Shiki series summer himawari Junmai Ginjo Himawari yeast brewed. I heard a lot about this sake at the Kyoto Takashimaya Sake Festival and bought it because I liked it. I bought it because I liked it so much. The color is just a hint of yellow. The aroma is mild and soft, with a hint of alcohol. The mouthfeel is smooth and slightly hard. The palate has a refreshing slightly sweet and acidic taste. The aftertaste is slightly crisp and pungent. There is also a slight bit of harshness. On the second day after opening the bottle, the hardness eases a little and the refreshing acidity becomes a little milder. When I tasted it, I bought it for its sweetness, but I guess it was tasting magic. Ingredients:Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Rice polishing ratio:60 Alcohol content: 16%.

It has a slightly sharp citrusy acidity and a short finish. The recovery seems to be far from complete, so we must drink Noto's collaborative sake as well.

Even people who don't like hiyaoroshi can drink it. ◉ Ariiso Akebono Junmai Ginjo A two-stage sake. It's clear, but still retains a nice umami flavor. It seems to be a perfect match for fish dishes. ◉AKEBONO FLAT Akebono Flat is a low 12% sake that has not been served in two years. The sake has a sake content of +/- 0, so I guess it's a flat sake. It is an easy-drinking sake with a slightly sweet taste. The back of the label is colored and stylish. This one is really easy to drink. This is also a brewery that was hit by the disaster. We must not forget about the disaster-stricken areas yet.

They also make unique and interesting sake, so be sure to check them out.
