Sake purchased at the Yodobashi Sake Festival
Gorgeous and sweet.
Easy to drink with a refreshing fruity taste. Sweet but not too sweet.
I personally have a good impression of many of the sakes from Blumann.
A little banana-like 🍌.
Hi bouken 😊
Kaoriranman, as the name suggests, is gorgeous and good 🎶 sweet, but not too sweet as you said 😆.
Gorgeous, sweet and tasty, and cheap!
I think this sake brewery has become much more delicious than it was a decade ago!
Hello, bouken 😀
Kaoriranman is a delicious sake, isn't it 😀.
I received it as a prize at the Spring Japanese Sake Festival, and I like the sake brewer, Akita Meinjo, who is also a good friend of mine 😊.
Hello T.KISO ☀☀☀.
I liked the balance of not too sweet 😋.
I drank a lot of them at the tasting and they are all cosy 😆 I guess they were originally a popular drink 🤔.
The 3rd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival (6)
Brilliant Booth
I know it's delicious, but I didn't have much of a chance to drink it except at CWS, so...
Kimura-style miracle sake Junmai Ginjo Omachi
Sweet, juicy, and extremely delicious!
If it's this good after being fire-aged, then it must be the raw sake that Nemuchi-san was drinking 🤣.
Sanzen Special Junmai Omachi
Despite the classic label, it has a fruity taste!
Not a flashy type, but calm and gorgeous!
Sanzen Junmai Daiginjo Omachi 50 Polished Black Label
Gorgeous, juicy, sweet and delicious.
I love this type of wine!
Shune Yamahai Junmai Omachi Ippiki Hara Sake
It doesn't taste like Yamahai, but it is rich, a little peculiar and complex.
All of them were delicious, but I didn't buy any because I already have a lot in my basket and there is a tasting event in Ikoma.
There were more breweries, but we couldn't drink and buy too much here, so we moved on to the next one!
Ryusei brought a sake heater!
I forgot to drink the Shirobotan Shiboritate 😿!
Good morning, bouken 😃I'm a brilliant drinker and omatist 😁Kimura style miracle sake, it's input in my memory with delicious sake 😋Try the raw sake too if you have a chance 😉.
Hi Nemuchi, ☂️
If I had visited Brilliant first, I would have definitely bought it 😅.
I'm glad I could confirm that everything other than CWS is tasty too 😋.
The 3rd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival ⑤.
Here's another major Niigata brewery, Hakkaisan.
I was just about to open a sparkling one, so I waited and drank it 😁.
Second fermentation in the bottle - white malted rice awa
Shwashy and big bubbles.
Light and sour. Dry but not spicy.
Junmai Daiginjyo - Limited time only
I've seen it before, but this is the first time I've had it.
Seems to be a winter-only brew.
Not sweet, but more gorgeous than the Hakkaisan I've had so far.
Junmai Daiginjo Snow Chamber Storage for 3 years
Koji rice Yamadanishiki Kake rice Gohyakumangoku, Yamadanishiki, etc.
Alcohol 17%, Sake meter -1.0
1001 yeast, M310 yeast
The taste is so beautiful that it is hard to believe that it has been stored for three years. It is round and gentle.
It costs about 5,000 yen for a four-pack, and the Sandesi is quite expensive, so I am glad I had the chance to try it this time!
The 3rd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival (4)-2
Sake of Edo Genroku - Reprinted Sake
I was told that this sake is not popular among the general public. I was told it's not for the general public but I tasted it 😁.
It tastes like Shaoxing sake or aged sake but not aged 😳.
They brought these two sake because they thought they needed to have a story to tell.
He said he miraculously sold one bottle 🤣.
Even though it was 🫶🤣.
Edo Genroku Sake Aged Old Sake
This is the aged version.
They refused to let me try it at first but finally let me try it 😅I liked it because it was sweeter than the one I tried first .
It costs 14,300 yen, so I can't buy it that often 🙄.
I don't know why they don't let you try it easily, since it's a liquor that you may not like or dislike.
I think I saw somewhere in the past that these two products are hard to propose to supermarkets 🤔.
He said it's great that they make sake in France, and I told him that Konishi-san also made sake in Australia, didn't you? How did you know that? I told him that Konishi-san also used to make sake in Australia, and he asked me how I knew that.
He said some of the younger employees didn't know about it😅.
My grandmother used to work part time at Shirayuki, so I feel close to Konishi-san.
The salesman who looked like Mr. Mishima was funny 😆.
I think they make good sake, but they're not very good at selling it in various ways...
I think it's one of the best sake you can buy in a supermarket.
Good evening, bouken 🦉.
This review is full of plunges 🤣.
I'm from Tokyo? Mishima-san from Tokyo, who wanted to drink the higher 🫶sake and knows a lot about sake, he must have thought I was related to him 🤣.
Good evening.
I went to Shirayuki last year and loved it!
I'm planning to go again at the end of the year.
The sake cups are very cheap and good, but it's a shame that I have to comment afterwards.
Pon-chan Hello ☂️
I have the impression that major players are relatively indifferent, but your talk with self-deprecation was interesting 😁.
Well, I think I was a little bit taken aback 🤣.
Shinjou Hello ☂️
The overall taste is great, including the products you can buy at Hakusetsu supermarkets 😆.
I wish they would try harder 💦 because I have a pattern of going to the direct sales place in Itami when they come out with a new product and it's not sold anywhere.
The 3rd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival ④-1
Konishi Sake Brewery, a major sake brewer
The sake brewery closest to my house, and I thought it would be unusual for them to come to an event, so I paid them a visit.
The sales person seemed to have come from Tokyo even though it was the closest brewery to Yodobashi among the participating breweries.
Hiyashi Yashibori Ginjo
It's light but has a strong sweetness and gorgeousness.
I've had this one in the past, right?
It's the most impressive among the ones I drank this time, but I didn't buy it because it's available anywhere in supermarkets etc. 😅
Hiyashiyashibori Junmai Ginjo
I have an impression that it has a strong acidity.
Hiyashi-bori Daiginjo
Gorgeous but lacks impact
The taste of the ginjo was more gorgeous and memorable
Hiyashibori Junmai Daiginjo
I was curious about this new product, but I haven't seen it sold anywhere😅.
Mild but melon-like. It's somewhere between light and mellow?
I've exceeded the character count by a long shot, so I'll continue...
The 3rd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival (3)-2
Continued.
Special Junmai Sake
Purchased and drunk at Yodobashi in the past.
It is made from Gohyakumangoku sake produced in Honshu. It tastes just like sake.
The brewer said it goes well with sushi, and I really agree. In my previous post, I wrote that it tastes like a veteran enka singer 🤣.
Darvish drank this sake when he was a member of the Fighters and liked Kunimei.
Hokkaido limited edition Junmai Ginjo
This is also made with Ginpu.
Unlike previous sake, this one has a gorgeous ginjo aroma.
The taste is gentle and refreshing.
Hokkaido Limited Edition Junmai Daiginjo
Kitashizuku with a 35% rice polishing ratio and a high-cost price of a little over 3,000 yen.
Gorgeous fruity and elegant taste.
I thought it was good for New Year's 😁.
Kuniumare Daiginjo
Yamadanishiki 35% polished rice
Is it lighter than the Jun Daiginjo-Kitashizuku?
Very elegant taste.
I thought, basically there are almost no sweet sake in Hokkaido 🤔.
I wonder if it is inevitable when you want to match it with seafood?
The 3rd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival (3)-1
I have the impression that Kunimeki is only available at Yodobashi events 🤔.
Kunimei Kaisen, a famous sake from Mashike
900ml bottle and label looks classic.
It is now a rare type of sake with added sugar. It is a refreshingly light sake with a hint of sweetness. Suitable for eating as its assertiveness is modest.
Hokkai Onikoroshi Genzake R40
This sake was released in its original form to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Hokkai Onikoroshi. The normal Onikoroshi is 17 degrees and this one is 20.5 degrees 😳.
It is thicker and punchier than the first one.
It is also good to drink on the rocks!
Junmai Ginpu Kunimare
The first two were alsobe, and from here on, the taste changes drastically with Junmai. It is a refreshing mid-meal drink.
I think I personally don't like the dryness of Junmai specs more than the dryness of Aru Soze 🤔.
I was allowed to drink all the varieties, so I'm running out of characters and will continue...
The 3rd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival (2)
WAKAZE booth
I was about to pass by the booth because I thought it was the canned sake sold at the convenience store where I drank before, but I was approached by someone, so I decided to drop by.
Then I saw a sake I'd never seen before, so I stopped by and tasted it!
It's been a long time since I've tasted a French-made WAKAZE!
THE BARREL Pinot Noir
It is stored in red wine barrels. Aroma of maturity and Western liquor. Slightly vanilla-like.
Slightly dry.
THE BARREL Cognac
Quite sweet, like a noble wine.
It used to be sold for about 3300 yen, but it is now much more expensive 💦.
There was a booth next to the rice and agave booths, but I didn't go to the Hanakaze booth because they didn't have tasting 😅.
I think Hanakaze is the only refrigeration required type of nama-zake at this event. (Other draft sake is Kikusui Funaguchi, etc.)
The 3rd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival ①.
I wanted to go to the New Sake Festival at Ise Jingu Shrine, but gave it up because it was before my payday 😿.
So here I am!
Last year it was so crowded that I almost left without tasting any sake, but this year was relatively relaxing!
First, I went to the manzai booth.
Moein Junmai Sake Ichihozumi
It seems to be read as "Monet" in Japanese. It sounds like a sparkling name 😁.
Impressive sweetness and sourness
Moein Junmai Sake Momota
It seems less sweet than Ippozumi, but juicy.
Aroma: Junmai Ginjo
Akita Sake Komachi grown in our own rice paddies, using Komachi yeast special.
It has sweetness, but the aroma is impressive. It was the most impressive at this booth.
Old-fashioned nigori sake
It is said to be the first sake brewed at Blancmange. The label is classic, but unlike the image, it is well-balanced, sweet and not cloying.
All of them are very cosy and I thought it is a major brewery in Akita 😊.
I got a novelty can badge 😁.
Fermentation of this sake ended at 11% alcohol by volume due to the characteristics of the yeast.
The acidity derived from malic acid can be felt, making it an easy drink even for beginners.
This sake is made from Awaichiba Yamadanishiki rice grown in Tokushima Prefecture. The overall taste is clean and refreshing. This sake is easy to match with any dishes.
This sake is made from Yamada-Nishiki polished to 39%.
This sake has a strong ginjo aroma, and you can enjoy the exquisite flavor and sweetness of the rice without disturbing the aroma.
