Sake purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival (3㌥)
I bought this sake because it was the most popular and the last one among the various frozen fresh sake.
It was fresh, sweet and spicy. I think it might be the spiciest Gobashi I've ever had 🤔.
It's refreshing and fruity when I drink it again.
It's hard to tell, but the label has snowflakes on it, and I thought the embossing on it was very elaborate 👀.
The polar bear that's frozen asleep is cute too 🐻❄️
Hi bouken 🐦.
I thought it wasn't a raccoon, it's because it's a frozen sleep 😊I'll at least sample it when I see this label 😻.
I zoomed in and found ❄️! It's beautiful ✨
Good evening, Ponchan.
They freeze the entire bottle immediately after filling it, so it's like a freeze sleep 💤.
I was told there was no tasting but I bought it without tasting at Gobashi for peace of mind and trust 😁.
It's beautiful and I use the bottle for transfers ✨️

re preparation" means "re-fermentation".
Re-finishing = Kijo-zake, right?
It has a rich sweetness like a melon made with kijoshu. It's not too sweet, but it's very refreshing and easy to drink for a kijoshu.
I checked and not many people seem to be drinking it...
Is it because it is not made every year?
If I hadn't learned about it from Nemuchi and Toji, I wouldn't have bought it 💦.
Thanks for the information 🙏.

I've never seen this sake labeled before, but it looks like they've been serving it since the 100th anniversary of the company's founding in 2020.
The nose is muscat and banana-like. It has a gentle and refreshing sweetness with a little gas. The acidity is also impressive. As the label says, it is refreshing.
I always think that every Kihotsuru has a strong Kihotsuru flavor, no matter which Kihotsuru you drink.
Tochigi Ai 🥰 Strengthening Month #7
Purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival
Tasted and enjoyed all of them, but chose Hitogokochi as the most affordable one!
It's been a long time since I've had a Hitogokochi!
The rice polishing ratio of 53% is very rare in the middle of the range.
It has a lot of gas. It is mainly sweet and tasty, but also has a dry atmosphere. Not too sweet and not too spicy.
Nozomu, I thought I need to drink more things 😅.
bouken, I'm with you 😃.
Oh...you drank it at home! I see you drank it at home 🤗Hitokochi from Tochigi Prefecture tickles my love for my hometown even more! Yes, it is delicious 😋.
Thank you for the month of reinforcement 😊.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
The rice is also from Tochigi and I love Tochigi 🥰 combo 😆.
I found some Omachi at the department store yesterday but gave up due to fridge issues😭.
Purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival
I've had it in the past and it wasn't my favorite type, but I had a good impression of it at the tasting, so it's been a while since I've had it.
It seemed quite fruity at the tasting, but a little spicy.... Sweetness is just an accent.
I guess it was tasting magic that made it seem fruity and sweet 💦.
It was similar to the impression I had when I tasted it before, but not as bad as before.
Maybe my tastes have changed😅
Light at the beginning, but a bit nutty in the second half.
I also feel a little nutty. Maybe it's still not my favorite type...
The sweetness is coming out after 6 days of opening the bottle.
It also has a creamy feeling.
Sake bought at the Takashimaya Sake Festival.
My favorite sake is the pink super Shiboritate that Umaisan bought, but I had already bought and drank it in the past, so I hesitated to buy this one and Kame-iki.
It feels fresher than when I tasted it. It is dark and has a strong umami flavor. The sweetness is moderate. The acidity is felt towards the end and the aftertaste is short.
It feels spicy when drunk with sweet dishes, so pairing is especially important for this sake 🤔.
There are some smoky nuances when the temperature rises.
Purchase at Takashimaya Sake Festival
This sake is limited to the Takashimaya Osaka store event.
They said it was limited to 120 bottles.
Opened the bottle without any difficulty without spurting.
It's a bit of a schwishy, pineapple-like burst of sweetness and flavor. The second half is a little bitter and spicy, but I think I prefer it because it has a stronger impact than the regular GRAVITY.
It has an atmosphere like Kameizumi CEL24 Nigori.
Purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival
Tamagawa after a long time for drinking at home
Dark but firm sweetness. Strong powerful umami from the complexity with a little acidity.
It's a raw sake, but it has a sense of security that it seems to be fine even if it's rolled properly 😁.
I was hesitant and went for the fast brewing Omachi raw, which I've never had before, but I think I would have preferred the Yamahai 🤔.
Hi tomo 😃
To be honest, I liked the Yamahai better, but I always buy the ones I've never had 💦.
I had to let it stand in the hallway for a few days because my fridge was full 🤣.
Hi bonken, ☀️
I've had a few of the miscellaneous sake ones and the Omachi Yamahai a while ago and I'd like to try more Tamagawa! I've never had a fast brew before so I'll try it when I see it 👍Tamagawa, thank goodness I don't have to worry about storing it🤣.
Hello Kotaro 😃
I see you drank the miscellaneous liquor one 😳.
Tamagawa has a kind of wild strength that is consistent even if the specs are different 🤔.
The toji also seems to say it's fine at room temperature so that's a relief 😁.
To the Takashimaya Sake Festival
Thank you for letting me join you, Nemuchi 😊.
It was an exciting day to learn about many brands and types of sake that I had never tried before 😄.
I was curious about Kinryo, which was recommended by a person I met at a sake bar, so I bought it!
Cold sake
Oily and floral aroma with a hint of acidity
Fresh and fruity aroma.
Light and well-balanced sweetness and acidity.
The volume of rice flavor is well balanced.
Junmai is less light than junmai ginjo, but the umami is more intense.
The 8th Osaka Takashimaya Sake Festival
Umaisan wanted to go to Inatahime, so we went to the Inada Honten booth.
We drank
Junmai Ginjo Inatahime Strong
It was my first time to drink hi-ire, and although it was not fresh, the taste was less peculiar and more refreshing than the draft.
Junmai Ginjo Inatahime Strong Nama Nama
This is the raw version of the first sake we drank. It has a slightly unique flavor that is both fruity and peculiar.
I've been writing the same thing for the past 2 times😅.
Inadahime Super-harsh Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu
It is easy to drink even though it says "super-harsh," and has a strong umami flavor and richness.
Top Mizuharai Junmai Sake
This sake is for the local market and was named by Heihachiro Togo.
I think the label also says it was named by Togo.
It has a classic, but gentle and relaxing taste that gives a good impression.
They also have Top Suitai Josen, which I'm more interested in 🤔.
I met Mr. Lutemi when I was browsing in the basement sake shop after leaving the venue 😁.
The end
The 8th Osaka Takashimaya Sake Festival ⑫
Nemuchi-san and Toji-san, who had visited the previous day, recommended Kame-no-o Kijo-zake, so we went to the Tenmei booth!
What did they drink?
Tenmei Kame-no-o 65 Hon-nama
It's a kijoshu, though it's not written on the bottle. It was the first time for me to try it, but it seems to be a product that has been around for a long time. It seems that they don't release it every year because it can't be made unless the base sake is prepared.
As Eiji-san said, it is melon-like sweet and tasty.
Akigari Nama Jungin beautiful autumn Otsukimi
I tasted it because I thought it was rare to have a raw sake made in autumn.
I think it was because I drank Kame-no-o first, but the taste didn't leave any impression.... I definitely should have had this one first💦.
I was pushing my cart through the venue and was embarrassed to be told by strangers that I was buying a lot of sake 😅! It was so embarrassing😅.
This is for two people 🙄.
The 8th Osaka Takashimaya Sake Festival (11)
After visiting the Eiko-Fuji booth again, we went to the Daigouji booth.
Mr. Toji Murakami was there!
Kumano Town, where the brewery is located, is famous for its calligraphy brushes.
Takashimaya doesn't seem to carry them, but he decided to participate in the event because of a chance encounter.
We drank
Bodaihashi Junmai Hachitan Nishiki 65
Gentle taste with a touch of acidity and lactic acidity
Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki 55
Clean and refreshing, but with a strong umami flavor.
Junmai Hachitan Nishiki (Magin) 65
A little citrusy. It was less spicy than the same label sake I've had in the past.
I heard that they don't need permission to call themselves Bodai Hashiroshi, though it used to be different in the past.
I heard that they met with the Bodai-Hashiroshi research group and they said "please use it".
I was asked if I was a restaurant owner since I had a lot of sake in my basket and Umaisan's basket. He asked me if I was a restaurant owner 🤣.
Sorry I didn't buy it as I already had 7 bottles in it 🙏.

Visit the Nippon Izumi booth recommended by Yonesuru's sales staff.
The proprietress who is often seen at events? She was very friendly and helpful.
What we drank was
Junmai Ginjo Funakakuchidori Unfiltered Nama-shu
No picture💦I didn't like the taste when I drank it in the past, but it was fruity, quite sweet and delicious 😋I also drank it at near room temperature, but it changed like another sake!
Toyotomi Hideyoshi Junmai Ginjo Boa Sorci Limited Nama
Fresh and fruity, but clean and mild.
Junmai Daiginjo-Unfiltered Nama-no-Genshu Funakakuchidori
More subdued and calm than the previous two.
Takashimaya original, it said.
Junmai Ginjo colander filtered nigori sake
Probably a draft sake. Dry, refreshing and dry.
It has a koji-like taste.
I have never been able to get into Nippon Izumi, but this time I had a pretty good impression of the taste 😊.
The 8th Osaka Takashimaya Sake Festival (9)
The famous salesman was here!
All fresh sake lineup 😍.
We drank
Kame-no-chikara Kame-no-o Junmai Nama-zake
Not sweet or fruity, but the umami strength left a strong impression 😋.
Yone-no-chikara Kame-iki Special Junmai Nama-nazake
There have been exceptions in the past, but only Yonetsuru uses rice, Kameiki.
The main flavor is the umami of the rice rather than the floral or sweetness. Seems to be good with food.
MARUMASU YONEZURU Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjyo (blue, red, green)
I've had these three in the past, so I'll be brief 😅.
Blue is the most fruity, sweet and delicious.
Red is sweet but more dry.
Green is more mature but a little sweeter.
Junmai Ginjo Super Shiboritate
I've had it in the past, but it's still as gassy, fresh and juicy as before.
Super-harsh junmai light nigori nama
It says "super spicy" but it's not as spicy as it says, it's dry, refreshing, and shuwa. The salesman said if you want something spicy, just drink shochu😁.
Junmai Namaisake Happo-Nigori
It's silky and shwitty. It has a bit of acidity, and you can taste the umami of rice and koji.
Soukai Dry Sake Junmai Namaisake
This sake is also said to be dry, but it is not so.
The 8th Osaka Takashimaya Sake Festival 8
Nozomu's booth. Hankyu's Tochigi Sake event was only for Sanbana, but Osaka Takashimaya is a special distributor, so they can bring Nozomu too!
I drank
Nozomu Junmai Daiginjo Omachi Unfiltered Nama Sake
Very gorgeous, fresh, sweet, delicious, and juicy😍!
Nozomu Junmai Daiginjo Senbon Nishiki Unfiltered Nama-shu
Deep umami and sweetness. A little bit of bitterness in the second half😍.
Nozomu Junmai Ginjo Hitogokochi Unfiltered Nama-shu
No picture because I bought it. Similar to the top two, but just the right balance 😋.
Sanbaku Yamahai Junmai
Easy to drink, even for a Yamahai sake 😍.
Sanbana Junmai Ginjo
I had this at Hankyu the year before last and it's still as good as ever😍
Sanbana Daiginjo
I was also allowed to drink a nice one.
Very elegant, gorgeous, round, sweet and delicious😍.
I heard that Sanbana is only available locally, but if you negotiate with a distributor, you might be able to order it. They said they might be able to order it for you if you negotiate with the distributor.
The three Nozomis were especially eye-opening and shockingly delicious!
I didn't buy much, but it made me realize that I need to drink more!
The proprietress?
She was very funny and entertaining with her light-hearted talk!
She also told me to come to the Tochigi sake event she holds every year in Osaka, but it was a weekday 🤣.
Tochigi love 🥰 even at Takashimaya!
Good evening, bouken😃.
I like the comparison of Nozomu-san and Sanbana-san 🤗.
And the Nozomu-san from Tochigi that you bought ‼️ is very tasty 😙.
Love Tochigi, Nozomu ken-san 🥰.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🌦️
It's been a while since I've had a drink, but they're all so good 😻
I've never had any of these despite the name and the fact that I haven't had any 😅
The 8th Osaka Takashimaya Sake Festival (7)
Frozen Sake booth (2)
This is also the first time I've seen Hakushika in this series.
I think they may have sold it in the past, but I don't think there was any tasting at the time I went 🤔.
I've only seen Shiroshika's raw sake that is ultra-filtered and can be distributed at room temperature, and it doesn't taste like raw sake 😅.
Unlike Shiroshika's previous nama-shu I've had, this is fresh. It's refreshing and easy to drink, but I think it's a little hard to grasp the characteristics.
I would say the impression is weak.... It seems to be a good sake for everyone or as a food sake.
The most popular frozen fresh sake is Gobashi, and I was told it was the last 2 bottles, so I bought it 😋I guess you can't go wrong with Gobashi 😁.
The 8th Osaka Takashimaya Sake Festival (6)
The booth of Frozen Namaisake, a must stop at the Sake Festival
They said we could drink almost everything except Gobashi, so we decided to try a sample.
I chose Tamanohikari, which I had never seen before, since I had already bought and tasted a lot of it in the past.
Umaisan was drinking Kamoizumi!
Compared to the past Tamanomitsu sake, it seemed much fresher and sweeter!
I wonder if they serve this as a regular draft sake? I wonder if it tastes better because it's frozen 🤔
This is one of the best Tamanomitsu I've had so far!
The 8th Osaka Takashimaya Sake Festival (5)
Tsuchida Sake Brewery, a brewery that boldly calls itself a perverted sake or a perverted brewery 🫶.
They brought a large number of lineup.
The active nigori was a paid tasting, but I've had it before, so I don't mind!
I wanted to drink a lot of different kinds of sake and talk with them, but it was crowded all the time, as if there were a lot of enthusiasts 💦.
I chose the one I don't think I've had in the past, the F, which seemed to have a strong taste.
The acidity is amazing. The acidity was amazing, and the strong flavor and complexity made me feel a bit uncomfortable for a moment! But I could taste the sweetness and it was delicious!
It's not the type of sake that you can drink a lot of at once, so I thought it would be fun to drink it with soda or juice, and enjoy it in various ways.
The 8th Osaka Takashimaya Sake Festival (4)
Laughing Four Seasons Booth
We didn't bring Sensation, but the main lineup was fire-brewed Monsoon.
The brewer only offered plastic cups to Umaisan, so I was a little bit annoyed, but he shared some of what Umaisan was drinking 😅.
I drank Monsoon Tamaei Hi-ire!
It's fire-brewed, but it's still a quintessential Shiki, sweet and fresh!
I was a bit disappointed with the first one, so I left with only one type of beer💦.
Congratulations to bouken on your 4300 check-in 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉!
You have surpassed it in no time 😊👍.
If you don't get a lot of response at events, you tend to go through a lot of other things 😁.
Thank you, Ponchan 🙇.
I didn't prepare any special drink so I decided to make it a Kiri-number here 😅 sometimes the drink is good but... 😅 sometimes the drink is not 😥.
bouken, I know I'm late...but congratulations on your 4300 check-ins 🎉you're stealth as usual 🙄 lol sorry to hear about the four seasons, it was delicious 😅we haven't tasted together lately, we'll have to go back 😉.
Thank you, Nemuchi 🙇 I didn't prepare anything in particular, so I just let it slide 🙄.
I didn't have anything in particular prepared, so I just let it slide 🙄.
I wanted to drink a lot of different kinds of sake though 😅.
I'd love to join you if I can make it to the event in Keihan or 🙇😁.

Kibotsuru, which Icoma-san has started to handle and I have more chances to drink.
Thanks to Uma-san, I was able to drink it smoothly 🙇.
We drank
Velvet Fire-brewed
I drank Velvet raw before, but unlike the raw, it had a calmer taste.
Toutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutoutout
Mizuhashiro sake. It has been 2 years since the last mizu-hashiroshi.
It was delicious, with no peculiar taste, and the mizu-hashiroshi sake had a Kibotsukuru-like flavor.
Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki
Polishing rice 35%, the one Maru-san drank before.
Gorgeous, beautiful and luxurious taste.
Junmai Daiginjo Kitashizuku
Polishing rice 40% Maru-san drank this one too 😁.
This one is sweeter than Yamadanishiki, which I prefer 🤔.
Greetings
Gentle sweetness 😋I think he said it goes well with sweets
Hiyoroshi
I forgot to take a picture💦I bought it last year and drank it, but it's still delicious!
Super dry, fire-brewed
Forgot to take a picture💦It's not that spicy and easy to drink
The owner and her daughter? and daughter? and the managing director? and the managing director?
I thought the tote bag was a little nice😃.
