The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower 10
Garyubai, which I had the impression was spicy when I drank it in the past.
I had never seen sparkling sake before.
I drank
Junmai Daiginjo Kaihon Jyurika
Aiyama's sake with a 45% rice polishing ratio. I think it tasted sweet and gorgeous. I have never seen such a sake sold.
SPARKLING ROSE
It was sweet and sour. It's hard to finish a sparkling wine of this size unless there are a lot of people around💦.
I wish it was 300ml.
SPARKLING Nouveau
It was a fresh new sparkling wine.
It was like champagne as well as rosé.
As an aside, I wonder if it was the president of Garyubai. The guy who served us drinks had a cool watch, an EDOX Chrono Offshore 1.
I've never seen anyone wearing one before. I think it was a sporty and austere choice.
Hello bouken 😀
I actually wanted to go to the Japanese Sake festival, but I had to give it up just after I moved 😀.
I would have liked to go even more if I could meet Garyubai sparkling and if there were rare sake 😅.
Good evening, bouken 🌛It's amazing how you've been posting steadily 😳You're a secret agent, keeping an eye not only on the labels of the drinks, but also on the president's watch 🤣.
Nemuchi, good evening 😃.
I'll get into trouble when I accumulate posts 😅.
I could tell at a glance because I was considering buying this watch in the past 🧐.
The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower (9)
Shikai-oh was also a first. I think they used to come to department stores for tasting and sales, and Yamaya used to have fresh sake, but I haven't seen them at all recently.
It seems that a certain Kinjaku distributor in Osaka is selling it...
I drank
Shikai-o Special Junmai Omachi
Well, I think it was sweet, but it didn't leave much impression😅.
Shikai-oh Junmai Daiginjo Yumeginko
It was gorgeous and sweet.
Shikai-oh Daiginjo Yume at that time
It was delicious with a firm sweet flavor.
I got the impression that it was sweet overall. I'd like to buy a bottle and drink it next time.
The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower (8)
I was looking forward to seeing Joy Hikari at this event.
It's a sake from Nara, but I haven't seen it at all, probably because it hasn't been brewed in-house for so long.... I've only seen Izumi Yusai if that's what you're looking for.
I wonder if they don't have to work hard for individual customers because they have a large customer called Akagakiya and a health food business.
I got the impression that the warehouse was pretty quiet, too.
I drank
Junmai Shiboritate Nama Sake
I was glad to find a sake that was not on the list. It had a fresh feeling typical of nama-zake. I think I was saying to Nemuchi, "I don't know what it is, but it looks like Nara 🤣.
Nanto Dakudaku
Nigori (nigori) sake. It has a strong sense of rice.
Junmai Ginjo Little Joy
It was gorgeous, fruity, and sweet. It is a Junmai Daiginjo, so it can't be helped, but I thought the price setting was a little expensive.
Junmai Kurahara Sake
This was served at the heated sake booth towards the end of the session. It has a gentle flavor and is a good everyday evening drink. I could drink it while lounging around 🤣.
I bought the first one I drank. I was going to buy something else, but I forgot when I was drunk 🤣.
The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower (7)
A work that can be called the highlight of this event.
They brought some high quality products, so of course I drank some 😋.
I wanted to be the first to go, but the Saku booth was crowded, so I waited a little longer 😁.
Only the Sakusaku booth had a pole because there was a line 😅.
I drank
Saku Saku Zunmai Daiginjo
Polishing ratio 35%, list price 11,000 yen 😳.
There was not much information about it, probably because it was just released and not many people are drinking it. It is beautiful, sweet and refreshing. I should have tasted it a little more 🤔.
Naguwashi Suzuka Kami-no-ho Junmai Daiginjo
Polishing ratio 45%, list price 7700 yen😳.
I think it was more umami and sweeter than Hazui. Personally, I prefer this one.
There were other sake brands, but I didn't buy any of them because I could afford them.
Good evening, Pon-chan😃.
I thought it would be expensive, but I was surprised when I got home and saw the prices on the list I got 💦.
There are a lot of other delicious drinks, but I thought it was worth attending just for this one 😊.
The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower (6)
A project by young employees of Bekkaku Hakutsuru Sake Brewery.
Except for the two low-priced varieties, Gentle Breeze Clover and Sunshine Shabondama, all of them are made with Hakutsuru Nishiki.
The two types of sake stored in wine barrels were not on the list.
The ones we drank were
Sunshine Soap Bubbles
A sparkling sake-based liqueur with 3% alcohol and a hint of lemon. It's sweet and tasty, but it's like a juice😅.
Mushinegane of the sun through the trees
It's like lemon grass, but with a refreshing acidity.
Snorkel in the sun
As written, it tastes like orange and citrus, a little bit bitter.
Twilight Telescope
The sweetest of the three 4-portions.
Owl's snooze
This is a sake made from red wine barrels. It has a red wine-like richness and sweetness.
A bird's snooze
A white wine cask-stored sake yeast. The acidity and freshness are like white wine.
Clover of the gentle breeze (no photo)
We have bought this one in the past. It has a freshness like lemongrass and a blue atmosphere. I think it's a little sweeter than the others.
I'm glad I was able to try it this time because some of them were in a price range that was hard to get my hands on.
Hello bouken!
I've been curious about Betsuru, I drank the two cheap ones just the other day, but the others were hard to get my hands on 😅They're all really made to be easy to drink like wine or cocktails: ❣️
Hi Pon-chan 😃
The expensive one is sold in Hyogo prefecture and some supermarkets and department stores, but I couldn't touch it because I was afraid of the price and the hiney 😅The wine barrel one is over 2,000 yen for 500ml 😳.
The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower ⑤.
Takebayashi made a good impression at the Takashimaya Sake Festival.
The same staff was there.
We drank the following
Takebayashi Karoyaka Oshatoro Junmai Ginjo
It is fire-aged but has a gaseous taste and is very sweet and tasty.
I think everyone likes it.
Takebayashi catharsis Junmai Daiginjo (not pictured)
I regretted not buying it after drinking it at the Takashimaya Sake Festival. It was just as good this time, but I personally prefer the Daishatoro by a narrow margin.
Awasake Sake Stripe
I've seen this before at Aeon, but this is the first time I've had it.
It is a low-alcohol sparkling sake that is easy to drink.
I didn't buy Takebayashi this time either 😭
I'll have to buy it next time I see it 💦.
The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower④.
I participated under the name of "Taido" but most of the sake I brought was from Chiyoen 😅.
I drank
Taido Junmai Ginjo
I was looking forward to it, but I thought it was too clear and not enough. I'm looking forward to the freshly squeezed raw sake that is supposed to be released in the near future. I don't know if I can buy it.
Wind, Cats, and Daiginjo
I drank Hoshi to Neko to at the brewer's festival, so I chose this one. I like this one because it is sweet and gorgeous.
Kura-oi Daiginjo
This sake was not on the list. It is only available at the brewery. It was sold out in the afternoon session, so there was only a tasting left. It was gorgeous but 🤔.
Junmai Ginjyo Autumn Kaoru Nigori Nama
Slightly bubbly, slightly sweet and tasty. It was my favorite at this booth.
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 😃.
