God of Sake ⛩️ This is the sake I received at my first visit to the shrine.
Yasubeyesan of Sake no Wa posted it 😍I also paid a visit to Matsuo Taisha 🙏.
My son and grandson live near Matsuo Taisha 😊.
I asked about the sake, because it was written as mixed sake, and it seems to be a mixture of various kinds of sake offered to the shrine, 'the brand name is Yellow Cherry Blossom etc.'.
The taste is not so much the sake, but the fragrance of the Masu, or cedar? It was delicious.

Ao, good evening 😀
It really tasted even better than usual with a strong aroma of cedar, or wood😇
Your son and grandson❓
I'm a little surprised that Ao has grandchildren ⁉️
You look young😇

Good evening, Yasbaye 😊.
I was able to drink after seeing Yasbaye's post! Thank you 🙏.
The smell of the wood brings out the flavor of the drink 😋.
You look younger 😰Thank you 😊

Good evening, Ao.
I paid a first visit to the sake goddess right after I saw your post ✨.
Your energy is great ⤴️
I'd like to pay a visit to the Sake God this year too 😊.

Good morning, ma-ki-San 😁.
The Masu sake in Yasube's post looks really delicious 😁.
Please pay a visit to the sake god 👌
This year is the year of the Snake so I would like to pay a visit to the Ookami shrine too 🙏.

Hi Ao-chan 🐦.
I like Matsuo-san's ⛩️ event, but I thought I should pay a visit to the shrine 😅.
I can't see Otomi anymore, he looks like ze 🤣.

Good evening, Pon-chan.
I went to Matsuo-taisha shrine for my 3rd hatsumode this year ⛩️ I really wanted to drink after seeing Yasube's post 😰 Please go visit the shrine 🙏.
I'm sure it's ze! No matter how you look at it 😱.

Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉛
Here's the last one just before the end of the event!
I know it's delicious, but you can't always buy it at many stores because of the spot delivery via wholesalers.
Yamae-Nishiki 90%, Hime no Mochi from Nagano 10%, Polishing ratio 59%, Alcohol 13%.
I looked up the specs on the net 😅 because the data is wrong.
I think the Yamae Nishiki from the net info is correct 🤔.
Sweet, low al and light drinking. The acidity was pleasant.
I'd love to drink this at home!
Nemuchi-san asked the brewery why they didn't participate in the traveling SAKE event the other day, and they told us the story behind the event 😌 I was surprised at how hard it is to participate in such an event!
Finally, the brewery is holding a project called "59 sake" for brewers who were born between 59 and 60 years old, so I appealed to them that we are classmates 😁.
The winner of this event was Yokoyama.
Nemuchi asked me which one was the best at the event and I said Machida, but later on I was impressed with Matsunotsuyuumachi and Sanzenzakura Normal Sake Naokumi!
It's a shame that the ambulance had to come even though we had taken measures to make the rounds for supplements and water to drink as well 😥.
No drunkenness in front of God 🚫.

According to Nemuchi's information, he also drank some Ten Stone, but I didn't take a picture of it and forgot that he drank it 🤣.
I remember talking to the toji and the salesman 💦.

bouken thanks for your 31 reviews😊.
It's really great that you can remember and write so well ✨I enjoyed reading 🎶.
It's interesting to see so many different warehouses participating, I hope to go next year 😆.

Thank you, Ponchan 🙇.
I took a lot of notes this time 😁.
I think it will be fun next year as well since the participating warehouses seem to be different every year 😆.
Tedorigawa had to cancel their participation due to the earthquake 😥.

Hi Aladdin 😃.
Thank you 🙇.

Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉚
I know it's delicious, but I don't buy it often.
Oita Yamadanishiki, 70% polished rice, 15% alcohol by volume
Gentle effervescence, melon-like sweetness, and milky acidity.
After all, Chiebijin is not a miss either!

Good evening, Mr. Gomaburi 😃.
I didn't take a picture of the back label, so I listed it based on the material distributed to me, but it seems the material was wrong 😅I corrected it 🙇 It must be delicious 😁.

I think I drank the Yamanoi before the Shiraoi in the order I took the pictures 💦 I think I drank the Yamanoi before the Shiraoi 😅.
I think Neemuchi and I visited the same brewery again!
Yamanoi is rarely drunk because there are only a few places that sell it.
I've only seen it at the Fukushima antenna store in Umeda or at Sukumasa!
I drank
Yamanoi 40 Yume no Aroma
It is a sake for the sake competition and not for sale.
It was beautifully sweet and delicious!
The pattern on the upper right and lower left seems to be the mark of daiginjo.
The Jun Daiginjo I drank in the past also had the same pattern.
Yamanoi Shiro Orikagarami Nama
Polishing ratio 60%, sake rice and sake level not disclosed, alcohol 15%.
It was sweet and juicy and delicious. It was sweet and juicy, and even if you wanted it, you could not buy it...

While I was in Shiraoi, Nemuchi-san was on his way here. I've had Kakuemon before, but this was my first time to try Fukukomachi. And it was a Junmai Daiginjo made with rare rice Ichihozumi😳.
Rice polishing ratio 40%, Sake degree +0.5, Alcohol 15.5
Fruity but with a bitter and elegant taste!
I checked and it seems they use 1801 yeast!

Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉗
Since there was only a short time left, we decided to choose one sake from each brewery separately to share!
Polishing ratio 70%, Sake degree -1, Alcohol 18%.
It has a gaseous taste and is sweet and delicious. I liked it better than the Shiraoi I've had in the past. I might buy it again if I have a chance.

Yosamusume is not often seen even though I live in Kansai.
I sometimes see it in Kyoto.
I drank
Midori-no-kaze Junmai Ginjyo Nama-no-Harashu
I drank so many in quick succession at the end of the day that my memory is a little fuzzy, but I think I had this one 💦.
Yamadanishiki from Kyoto, Polishing ratio 50%, Sake degree +3, Alcohol 17%.
I thought it was a sweet, fruity, and delicious sake.
Shiboritate wine yeast special junmai unfiltered unpasteurized sake
Koshihikari rice from Yosano town, 60% polished rice, Sake meter degree -17, Alcohol 13%.
I thought I had drunk the same one in the past, but it was a different yeast 😅.
It is sweet and sour and delicious. It was easier to drink than the 1801 yeast I drank before.
I wonder why Yosamusume is only available in 500ml bottles?
Is it to keep the price down?

Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉕
Speaking of Niida, it's all about 🐸, isn't it?
I don't really like frogs, but when I was a kid, Sanrio's Kerokerokeroppi was all the rage, and all the gym uniform bags and school lunch bags were 🐸.
🐸🐸🐸🐸
Here's another Niida who doesn't drink much these days
I have the impression that there's a big difference between the ones I like and the ones I don't, which makes it hard to buy.
I drank
Odayaka Sparkling
TOYONISHIKI, 70% polished rice, 12% alcohol
This sake is made by fermenting freshly squeezed sake in the bottle.
It is dry, shriveled, and champagne-like 🥂.
The sweetness and refreshing acidity are impressive!
Shimizu Odayaka Junmai Ginjyo Ususu Nigori Nama-shu
Miyamanishiki, 60% polished rice, Sake degree 15.5
The ginjo aroma is reminiscent of peaches. It is as sparkling as a sparkling wine. Refreshing with a good balance of sweet and sour.
Well, I've never had a sake like this before because I've only had Niidashi Sanshu...

Ichihoro is the first sake I've had in three years. I have a strong impression of light nigori raw sake.
I drank
Junmai light nigori nama-zake (raw sake)
Impressive acidity and drinkability typical of sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast 🤔.
Junmai light nigori nama sake
I've had it in the past and it's still as good as ever.
I think the balance is really good. Versatile enough to drink by itself or with food.

Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉓
Sanzen Sakura, a company that seems to have taken root in Hokkaido.
I found out later that the guy in the booth was the president of the company 😅.
We drank
Normal sake R class direct draft raw sake
Nanatsuboshi, Polishing ratio 65%, Alcohol 16%.
Sake made from Nanatsuboshi is rare, isn't it? The pamphlet given at the event mentioned that they also use comet, but when I searched, only Nanatsuboshi came up 🤔.
The fire-brewed version of this was sold for about 1300 yen, so this one should be about the same. I think it's a very good cospa 🤔It's fresh, sweet and tasty. It tastes so good you would never think it was aluzo-sweetened.
Junmai Daiginjo Comet 45 Naokumi Nama Sake
Alcohol 16%.
This is also sweet, gorgeous, fruity, and extremely delicious!
I know it's delicious, but there are only a few stores that carry it and it's far away, so I haven't been able to buy it.

Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉒
There are places that sell this sake, but I don't have much of a chance to drink it.
I wonder if the brewery's connection to Symbol Rudolph and the Uma Musume effect are making it sell better than before?
I drank the following
Shichikanma Junmai Daiginjo
Sakonishiki, Polishing ratio 40%, Sake degree +2, Alcohol 17%.
I checked to see if it would be expensive to buy, and was told that the price is 3300 for a 4-goupe bottle.
Shichikanma Junmai Haru Nagomi Seven
En no Mai, Polishing ratio 60%, Sake degree +3, Alcohol 16%.
Well, it was too clear and not quite right. Subtle...
I think there are many spring sake that I can't get into 🤔.

Toyonou Ume, which has been attracting a lot of attention recently due to the influence of the crazy salad pavilion.
I drank
Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu
Matsuyama Mitsui, Polishing ratio 50%, Sake degree +2, Alcohol 16%.
It is delicious with just the right amount of sweetness. I think only Saladokan carries Toyonoumai's nama-zake 🤔I think Ikari Supermarket carries the fire-brewed version.
Ito wo okashi junmai ginjo katsudo usun nigori
Tachiharuka (don't know the rice 😳), 60% polished rice, -10% sake, 14% alcohol.
Sake made with CEL-24 yeast. I haven't had it in a while 😋.
It's shwitty, pineapple sweet and tasty, with a refreshing acidity.
It's a 500ml bottle, so it's the kind of sake I'd drink at home 🤣.

Sawanohana and Beaumichel, which have only a few drinks but leave only a delicious impression

A clear and beautiful sake. It is not overly floral, but has a mild and gentle sweetness.

Junmai Daiginjo Princess Michiko
Yamadanishiki, 40% polished rice, -10% sake, 15% alcohol by volume
Sake made with rose yeast isolated from Princess Michiko.
It is gorgeous, sweet and delicious. I usually don't buy it because it's too expensive, but it's delicious!
Junmai Ginjyo SILVER7 Hi-ire
Yamada-Nishiki, Polishing ratio: 50% for Koji rice, 55% for Kake rice, Sake meter rating: -5
It is sweet and delicious. I can say this about Yokoyama as a whole, but it has a freshness that makes it hard to believe it is fire-brewed.

Hagi-no-Tsuru, which I haven't had for a while recently.
It's not like they have it anywhere and anytime, but when I want to drink it, they don't have it 🤔...
I drank
Hiwada - Junmai Junmai Nama-no-Hashimoto
Gin no Iroha, Polishing ratio 60%, Sake degree +3, Alcohol 16%.
Delicious with sweet and sour taste. Is it a sake with a light nigori taste? I think I have never had a light nigori type sake before.
Haginotsuru Junmai Ginjyo Separately brewed Nama-shu Sakura Cat
Polishing ratio 50%, Sake degree -2, Alcohol 15%.
The only mention of the sake rice is that it is domestic. I wonder if they would have told me if I asked.
This is my first Sakura Neko. It is sweet and tasty. The cat label is not a miss.

Not too spicy and easy to drink. Muscat
I feel like I'm talking about Muscat all the time...
Shinrai Kurobella Namaishime Junmai Ginjo Senbon Nishiki
Rice polishing ratio 55%, Sake degree +6.5, Alcohol 15.8

Sake meter reading +1.2
More beautiful than the rice polishing ratio, probably because of the flattened and polished rice.
Muscat-like
Shichida Junmai Ginjo 50 Omachi Unfiltered Nama

Dewa Sanzan, 44% polished rice, -15% sake, 16% alcohol.
It is said to be the counterpart of the super dry Bakuren sake and is made with a 4-dan brewing process.
It is rich, sweet and delicious without a doubt!
A pineapple kind of sake.
