The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower ③.
Mitsutake Shuzojo seems to be more famous for its shochu (Japanese liquor) such as Invitation to the Demon World.
Nemuchi-san was the one to butt in with something like, "You can only produce such cosy Junmai Daiginjo because you are making money from shochu, right? Nemuchi-san was saying something like that 🤣.
What we drank was
Junmai Daiginjo Hiyoroshi
This label is released seasonally, but I remember it was cheap. It is easy to drink with just the right amount of ripeness. The type you want to drink with a meal.
Handmade junmai sake
This sake has 50% polished rice, but they dare to call it Junmai. When I bought it at a supermarket and drank it in the past, it was very thin, but this time, it was just as good as usual.
Daikinjyo and Solo no Gourmet
This sake is a collaboration with "Solo no Gourmet". They have collaborated with various manga and anime for shochu, but this is the first time for sake.
It is gorgeous and fruity. I think it is my favorite among the three types we drank this time.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy😃.
The label also says "Shitado" 🤣.
Mr. Kusumi, from what I've seen on YouTube, you seem to like all kinds of alcoholic beverages 🤣.
Hi Chichi 😃
I was shown the catalog and there are many labels I've never seen before, too many collaborations, right? I thought 🤣.
I forgot what manga it was about but it looks like they are going to release something else for sake too 😁.
The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower (2)
I brought the Five Series.
Well, I don't drink Gobashi so much anymore🤔.
I drank
Gobashi FIVE ORANGE Junmai Ginjo, once fired.
I wonder if it is a little matured. It has a hiyaoroshi-like atmosphere.
It is sweet, but with a hint of sweetness.
Gobashi five Yellow Junmai White malted rice
The one we drank in the past was a raw sake, but this one seems to be a fire-brewed sake. It is sweet and sour. I definitely prefer yellow to orange.
Gobashi Junmai Daiginjo
I have never had a high-class Gobashi, so I took this opportunity. It has a graceful ginjo aroma and is gorgeous, fruity, and sweet. I think 2700 yen is a good price for this taste.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 😃.
It's so sweet and sour that it's almost addictive 😁.
I've had a lot of different sakes with white malted rice, but I found the yellow one to be especially good compared to the others 😋.
The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower ①.
I was invited by Nemuchi-san to attend the Japanese Sake Festival!
We arrived just before the festival started due to some confusion💦.
Sorry about that 🙏.
I haven't been to Bay Tower since I went to Pools here in high school 😅It was called ORC200 back then 🙄.
First we went to Yamazaru.
I drank
Yamahai unfiltered raw sake
The rice used was rare Koriyanto. It has an impressive acidity and sweetness. It is sold at Yamaya and sometimes at department stores, so I will buy it next time.
Ai Yamazaru Junmai Ginjo
Gorgeous and fruity. It is also better than I expected.
The toji passed away suddenly, and he said that this Aizan was his last sake.
He was the youngest toji in Yamaguchi Prefecture, and he was only about 30 years old...
Hi Shiri 😃.
When did it go out of business? I looked it up and found that it closed in 2017 😅 now it looks like the site of Pools is now a spa facility 😃.
