Saijo Sake Festival 2025🍶.
Next stop: Kamotsuru.
Instead of the tasting zone right at the entrance, we went into the premier sake zone, which is a bit further back 😁.
There is a gold medal winning sake and a Junmai Daiginjo Hiroshima Nishiki.
The Gold Award-winning sake was unexpectedly expensive, so I got the Hiroshima Nishiki 😋.
You can pick up the flavor of the rice 🌾 and the delayed bitterness.
There is a refreshing acidity, although it is not clearly perceptible.
The more I drank, the more the umami of the rice🌾 stood out, and it was clean and dry.
This year, it was a collaboration with Chibo.
It is an interesting experiment unique to the event, and it is very festive. ⤴️

Good evening, ichiro18 😃.
Saijo's sake festival is held in the whole town, so it's fun on a different scale 😁 There are a number of sake breweries and you can enjoy sake to your heart's content. Please make plans to go and visit 😌.

600 check-ins✅ here 🥳.
The milestone was a limited edition Kamotsuru sake 🍶 that I bought at the Saijo Sake Festival 😀.
This sake 🍶 was available for paid tasting, but I didn't have enough time so I didn't taste it and bought it outright 😄.
It is a sake 🍶.
When you open the bottle, a soft sweetness wafts through the air.
A light, mild sweetness 😌.
The sweetness is fluffy like cotton candy, but also supple, reminiscent of watermelon🍉 ☺️
And a little sourness behind the sweetness.
The mouthfeel is rounded, and the ginjo aroma is rich and fluffy on the nose🥰.
Day 2: ✌️
I felt the acidity got a little stronger, maybe it was more cohesive on day 1 🤔.
And it emptied just like that😅
This is the end of the Saijo section 🙏.
I hope to go back next year for the sake festival 😄.
I would also like to visit Saijo when it's not a sake festival 🤣.

Hi Hiro, Good evening 🌛.
Congratulations on 600 check-ins 🎉!
I didn't realize you achieved it with a limited edition sake festival bottle of "Kamotsuru" 😲.
Actually, one of the reasons I got hooked on sake was "Kamotsuru", so I'm very curious about it 😁.

Thank you 🙏.
So Kamotsuru is one of the sakes that drew you into the swamp 😳.
Now that I've had it in the brewery I know what I'm talking about 😁.
It's delicious, isn't it Kamotsuru 😆.

Thank you Jay & Nobby 🙏.
The limited edition sake festival label feels luxurious 😆 The other souvenir sake from the brewery tour was a commemorative photo 😊.
Naturally, I became a Kamotsuru fan 🤗.

I'm totally into the maniacal direction 😆 I was interested in the Misuzu hot pot 🍲 but didn't have a chance at the sake festival, I'm thinking of going to Saijo again to try it 😁.

いーじー
I bought this when I visited Kamotsuru Sake Brewery at the Saijo Sake Festival!
I knew Kamotsuru originated from Association #5 yeast, but I didn't know it was brewed with it until I got home 😂.
This is my first sake with No.5 yeast 🍶.
Cold sake.
There is a gentle sweetness in the middle part of the sake.
Is this the unique taste of No.5 yeast? 🤔
It is easy to drink with a slightly light mid-palate.
You can feel the umami of rice well.
The aftertaste is normal length.

I came to drink sake that I cannot usually drink.

Saijo Sake Festival.
We were given a tour of the brewery and tasted 🍶 at the end.
Sweetness and fragrance of white peach 😊.
It feels refreshing and light on the throat.
I was allowed to compare it with other kinds of sake so I could feel the flavor of Daiginjo more. ☺️
The explanation of the brewery tour was also very detailed.
I learned a lot 🧐.
I bought a limited edition sake from the Sake Festival 🍶. I'll post that later... 😆.

Good evening, Jive 🌙.
I see you have been to Saijo. ❗️ It was the first time for me.

Good evening, Hiro-san.
Saijo's sake festival is fascinating.
I went to Saijo the year before last and the year before that with a group of volunteers, and although it was not a sake festival, everyone was impressed. Saijo now has 7 breweries, and we call it "Dragon Ball Searching".
Japanese>English
ヒロ
Good evening, Kosuke 🌙
Thank you for your comment 🙇♂️
Regular Saijo is also very appealing as you can drink slowly😊I guess if you go around 7 breweries, your wish will come true 😊❗️ I think I will revisit to get my gal's panties in a bunch 🐲.

We went on a sake brewery tour in Saijo. I was delighted to find many good sake breweries in a small area that even a person with no sense of direction could visit. If you buy a "Horoiyoi Walking Coupon," you will receive a small service.
It was delicious. Since we were so tipsy, we didn't take proper pictures and only saw the name "Kamotsuru" (Kamotsuru is the name of a sake brewery in Japan). Daiginjo? I couldn't tell. I will never forget how delicious it was!
