The 8th Japanese Sake Festival at Osaka Bay Tower ⑧ Sake Subs, "Let's Sake" booth They seem to be using a device called "vacuum sake" to keep sake fresh, and when we were shown the inside of the device, sake in pouches was set. They said it was filled in a vacuum at the brewery. I had never heard of Hida Takayama sake, so I asked the staff about it and they told me that it is made by the Uota Sake Brewery in Gifu. They are part of the same group of traditional sake breweries as Sakura and Ginban, and their main brand is Onikoroshi. I have never seen the Old Brewery in many places such as department stores and chain liquor stores.... The brewery is said to be the originator of the many Onikoroshi sake breweries in Japan. The official website of the brewery says it's fruity, but it's not so subtle... The taste is weak or has no characteristics.... Umaisan and Nemuchi who were going around together for a while during break time also drank this 🤔🤔🤔😅. The price card says 500 yen, but I was able to taste it for free!

The 8th Japanese Sake Festival at Osaka Bay Tower ⑥. Sake Subs, "Let's Sake" booth There was Futa-Utsuri's special order, so I tried it. I think it was clear and not so sweet and juicy 🤔 Not like Ni-Utsuri or... When I posted, I looked at the label and realized it was Omachi😅.

The 8th Japanese Sake Festival at Osaka Bay Tower ⑤. The other day, I had a drink at Takayuu-san. Takayuu, which I had a bad impression of the other day. I decided to try it again. I drank Shinahi Nigori Junmai Ginjo Polishing ratio 50% Gohyakumangoku I bought this at Takashimaya last year and enjoyed it. It's not on the list, but I brought it with me. Nemuchi-san seemed happy to see this one. It is still as sweet and sour as ever! Junmai Ginjo Ryo Polishing ratio 50% Yamadanishiki and Tamakae Sake degree +2 Well, lactic acidity is strong... Junmai Nigori Polishing ratio 70% Yamadanishiki, Sake meter value +8 Sake is too clear and not like Tottori... Junmai Ginjo Strong This was not on the list. This one is also quite refreshing, but with less umami.... Junmai Ginjo Kizusai Sparkling Polishing ratio 50%, Gohyaku-mangoku, Sake meter value -19 This sake was made by secondary fermentation in the bottle using wine yeast. This was the best tasting sake at the Takayuu booth! Nemuchi-san was mmm🤔 all the way through, which made me feel relieved 🤣.

Ponchan, thank you for this one too 🙇. Ale? is a subtle thing? I'm not sure what you mean 💦. I had the impression that everything else this time was subtle except for the first peachy nigorigo and the last sparkling, so I was relieved that we agreed on the subtlety 😅.

The 8th Japanese Sake Festival at Osaka Bay Tower ④. This is also the first time I saw Naito Brewery. I saw them selling Junmai sake at Yodobashi the other day, but it is a brand not usually seen in the Kansai region. Takeshon-san seems to have drunk it several times at Sake-no-wa. They have a store in Omotesando and it looks like they have their own building, but I wonder if they are a rich brewery. I drank Junmai Daiginjo Buryou Tougen Polishing ratio 40% Yamadanishiki It has a sweet aroma and is sweet to drink! Nijiro Junmai Ginjo Polishing ratio 55% Yumesansui Another sweet sake. Slightly sour. Princess Ginko Junmai-shu with ginkgo flower yeast Polishing ratio 60% Aichi no Kaori Sweet and tasty, but a little peculiar. This was the first time it was unveiled at this event.

The 8th Japanese Sake Festival at Osaka Bay Tower ③. This is also the first time to visit Maruhiko Sake Brewery. I drank Mie-no-Kanbai Junmai Ginjo Summer Unpasteurized Sake Polishing ratio 60% Yamadanishiki This is a limited edition for the Japanese Sake Festival. It has a strong umami flavor. Not summery, but that's good! Junmai Ginjyo Kaminoho once-fired Polishing ratio 60 Slightly floral and a little spicy. Junmai Ginjo Dry Polishing ratio 60% Yamadanishiki It is dry but easier to drink than Kami no Ho. No sweetness at all. I think Nemuchi and I were saying that the dry version is the best.

The 8th Japanese Sake Festival at Osaka Bay Tower ② Hana Shonoyo Sake Brewery I had heard of the name, but this was my first time to visit the brewery. Umaisan was staffing a booth here 😳. I guess that's why he visited this booth so many times and drank all kinds of sake 😁. I drank Sparkling Methode Rurale It was one of the first bottles, so I was able to drink it freshly opened 😋. It was sweet and sour like a cider 😋. I was allowed to drink only the lees part afterwards, but it was like adding alcohol to apple juice 🍎. ANOTHER-KURO - single-stage brewing Sour but not too sweet, just the right balance. ANOTHER-SHIRO - 40% malted rice brewing It was sweeter than Ichidan. Diving heated ginjo-chunchunchunchun It is said to be exclusively for kanning. It was also delicious at room temperature. Junmai Daiginjyo Kurauchi Hidarashi-shu 50 It was smoky just like the pamphlet said it would be. Junmai Namaisake This sake was not on the list. It was quite refreshing and less impressive than the other sakes from this brewery... I think it's also the order in which we drank them 🤔 All of this brewery's sake was Gohyakumangoku. The 4th picture is of Umaisan and the brewery of Hana Candle

Good evening, bouken-san 🌛. How did you like "Hana Candle" by Yutaka Sake Brewery? I'm sure you'll love it 😁. The brewery is close to my house so I'll bring it to you anytime you want it ✨. I haven't had "ANOTHER" yet though 💦.

The 8th Japanese Sake Festival at Osaka Bay Tower ① The first part of Saturday. Again, I joined the event with Muchi. We also met Yasube & Kaorin and Usagi at the venue. First, Takeuchi Sake Brewery! I've had a bottle of Ichijiru Senzan with the back label in the past, but it was a long time ago, so it didn't make an impression on me... We drank Junmai Ginjo Miyamanishiki Unfiltered Nama-shu Polishing ratio 60 It had a nice sound when I opened it 😁. It was sweet, bitter, orikara and delicious 😋. Junmai Daiginjo Omachi Unfiltered Nama Sake Polishing ratio 50%. Sweet and tasty 😋Omachi is good! Junmai Ginjo Hidahomare Unfiltered Nama-shu Polishing ratio 60 Fresh and muscat-like. Slightly refreshing. There was no indication of "unfiltered" or "raw" sake at the event, but according to information on the Internet, that seems to be the case. I've only seen it at the liquor store in Arashiyama, so I should have asked for the information of the distributor😅.

Today, following yesterday's Aizan drinking event, I went to the Osaka Bay Tower's Japanese sake festival event 😀. I was informed in advance by bouken-san that there was a sake that Saku-san usually does not have, so I made a toast with his wife with that sake 😇. The sake was even clearer and fruity than Saku's usual sake, and we were very satisfied from the start 😀. During the live taiko performance by three women, my wife and I, who are both learning taiko, were overwhelmed by their amazing performance 😇. We were able to compare over 130 different types of sake, but my favorite was from Yamazaru, a brewery located in Asa, Yamaguchi Prefecture 😇. From the aroma to the mouthfeel, it was right up my alley👍! I had a chance to talk to the brewer and asked him about the stores in the Kansai area that carry it.

Good morning Yasbaye 😃 Is it a Don Picha sake... 😳⁉️ I'd love to drink it but Yasbaye's range is wide... so it's very possible that it's out of my range🤣.

Hi Rafa papa 😀 I only tasted a sip of this sake, so I would like to try it more properly 😀. The store is near Maruriki in Tenma and it looks like they will be at the Hanshin event in September 😇.

Even though I live in the Kansai region, I rarely see this sake. The brewery had been outsourcing brewing to other companies since the toji retired, but resumed in-house brewing a few years ago. This was the only sake I purchased at the Japanese Sake Festival. The aroma is a bit vanilla-like on the nose. It has a fresh, raw sake-like flavor, with a refreshing sweetness that is instantly followed by bitterness and spiciness. Maybe it is the alcohol content, but the alcohol taste is a little strong. I feel like it gets more and more alcoholic day by day...

The 6th Japanese Sake festival @Osaka Bay Tower⑳ The last ceremony of the festival. There were many kinds of sake, but I've never seen a white label. I drank SHIKI FRESH Junmai Daiginjo with a rice polishing ratio of 50%. The rice is 100% Yumigaho, which can only be used by Kawatake Brewery. It is a little too mature with a subdued feel 🤔I wish it had more impact since it is moderately priced. This is the end of the Japanese Sake festival, but it is still going on🤣.

The 6th Annual Japanese Sake Festival (1929) The first green sake, which I drank only once many years ago. I drank it once many years ago. Hatsugoroku Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu I think it was quite fruity and sweet. Okuhida Junmai Shiboritate Nama Sake I think it had a strong freshness, but the others didn't leave much of an impression...

The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower⑱. I brought a bottle of Kiyama, but I didn't take a picture of it, and I probably only drank Chikuma-Nishiki 🙄. I drank Chikumonishiki Special Junmai Dry, Kuradashi Nama Zake Dark and rough. It can be warmed up. Not really my favorite... Fujimura's Nigori Sake Junmai An orthodox, ordinary nigori sake, neither too much nor too little. I should have tried Kisenzan since I've never had it before...

The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower⑰. I've had Yamahoshi in the past, but Rokkasen was my first time. I drank Rokkasen 5-step Junmai It is sweet. It seems like it would be good warmed up, too. I might buy it next time because it was sold at an Ikari supermarket. Rokkasen hitotoki Rose Sparkling wine made from ancient rice. It has a beautiful rosé color. It was sweet and tasty 😋.

The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower⑯. I had a good impression of Kiminoi after drinking it several times. It is not so easy to buy in Kansai. I drank the following Kimi no I Yamahai Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama-shu It was as good as when we drank it at home. Keishin Yamahai Junmai Daiginjo Koshi-tanrei Unfiltered Ichidoki Hi-iri I think it was quite sweet. I would like to drink more of Keishin.

The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower (15) Ninja, which I feel is relatively minor among Shiga sake. I drank Ninja Plus+ Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu When I drank it in the past, I thought it was not my favorite flavor, but this time I found it delicious. Is this also tasting magic? The acidity was as strong this time as it was in the past. Daikouga Junmai Usu nigori Was it a draft sake? I think it was quite fizzy. There is not much information on Daikouga even if you google it. Ninja I'Amour Junmai Daiginjo Sake made with Aizan. Last year, when I drank a bottle of this sake, I felt off-flavor and it was subtle, but this time it was delicious with an elegant sweetness. ●Ninja Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake This one was the sweetest and tastiest. I should have checked the specs properly.... I've had an orikarami of this in the past, and it was delicious!

The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower⑭ Nemuchi-san said the best amazake was Yonezuru, so we went to this booth. I drank Mahoroba amazake It had a strong flavor, and although I cannot describe it well, it was very strong. It tastes like something energizing or invigorating. Junmai Daiginjo Omachi A little spicy? I think it had a good sharpness. 100% Delaware grape juice DROP This was delicious. It was thick, but not too strong. Sparkling wine This is a sparkling wine that was sold at a liquor store near our house, but we didn't buy it. It was like champagne and tasted good.

The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower⑬. Tomiou is one of Fushimi's favorite sake. We drank Tomiou Shiboritate Shinmai Shinshu Unrefined Nama Sake It is a honjozo (pure sake). It was a bit strong and strong, probably because it was aluzo-sweetened. Personally, I may not like it 🤔. Tomiou Junmai Daiginjo 100% Yamadanishiki It was clean and refreshing. I wonder if it is a food sake type. Tomiou Junmai Ginjo Tanshu Yamadanishiki This sake uses a yeast called Kyo no Koto. I think it was quite sweet. I had a bottle of this unfiltered raw sake a long time ago, and it was a sweet-tasting pineapple.

The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower ⑫ Kamitaka followed Kobe Hankyu and Tenshiba's Sake Monogatari. This time, I did not drink Kamitaka, but was allowed to drink Nihon Soul. I drank Nihon Soul Junmai Namaishi Mizuhashirokomi It is not so peculiar and easy to drink. I think it is a perverted sake though 🤣. Nihon Soul AGED BY THE SEASIDE Aged in oak barrels This sake is made from mizu-hashiroshi sake and aged in oak barrels for about a year. It has a very dark color and a strong sense of maturity even though it has only been aged for about a year. I would like to try it on the rocks or with soda. Nihon Soul Junmai Namae Namae Mizuhashi Special II Personally, I like this one the best! It is sweet and sour and delicious. Nemuchi-san said it was too much 🤣.

We drank Sogin Ginjo carbonated sake This product is not yet on the market. It will be released next year. Of course, I drank it with soda. It's refreshing and has a rumney-like flavor. It's like drinking gin or mojito. I'll buy it when it's released 🤔. I drank it as is without mixing it 😅 Kukura Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki I forgot to drink it at the Kobe Hankyu event, so I tried this one too. I think I liked the Omachi better.
