OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑬ I know the name of Sake Sen Eiko, but I've never seen it. It's kinda like a laughing four seasons kinda face 🤔. Yamadanishiki rice polished to 35%. I think it was like fruity dry with a gorgeous ginjo aroma 😅(forgot to take notes💦)

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑫ Jogawago, a name you've heard of but never seen before A 500ml bottle for the sake competition 😳 I googled it and it looks like it costs about 3000 yen. It was fruity, dry, beautiful and expensive sake! I wonder if it's hard to make it unique when the rice is polished 🤔. The basic taste is so similar that it's hard to understand 💦. I drank Ehime sakes with similar specs in rapid succession, so my impressions of other sakes may be mixed up 🙄.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 202411 Visit the Yomiuri Shimbun booth again! Mizuguchi Sake Brewery in Ehime. It was the first time to visit here, too. This sake brewery is located near Dogo Onsen in Matsuyama City. Yamadanishiki rice polished to 35%. It was written as dry, but it was quite sweet with a gorgeous ginjo aroma. (Right? I forgot to take notes💦) Many of the sakes at this booth would have tasted better if they were a little more chilled!

bouken, good evening 🌛I don't think I can post this festival yet, but my note on this sake is that it is mellow and has a mild and subtle umami flavor. The note of this sake was mellow and mildly delicious, with a clean aftertaste and a cohesive finish 😁.

Good evening, Nemuchi. I thought I wrote it down, but I almost completely forgot about Ehime sake 🤣I thought it would be embarrassing if I wrote a review that was too far off 💦.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑩ Following Nichinichi, Toyo Bijin's Aizan The sample label on the table looked like fire-aged sake, but the actual sake was unpasteurized. It was sweet and juicy with a little gasiness. Toyo Bijin is never a miss 😁. I tried Aiya Matsuri 2024 the other day and Toyo Bijin might be the best 🤔.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 20249 Leaving the Yomiuri Shimbun booth for a moment, we went to the booth of Komatsuya, a sake wholesaler who operates restaurants and wine stores in Osaka. I was given a flyer saying that they will open a sake shop in May! I am sure that this company handles Asahi Ei, so I am looking forward to it 😊. First Nichinichi in an unexpected place! I had been putting off drinking Nichinichi because I thought I would be able to drink it someday and the price was too high! I chose this place because it's expensive sake and they only offer one ticket 😁. There were Yamadanishiki and Akitsu Yamadanishiki, so I chose Akitsu which is more expensive. Slightly effervescent with a muscat and grape-like atmosphere. Fire-brewed but very fresh! Not too hot, but not too sweet, and perfectly balanced. I would like to drink it open and a little more chilled. I wonder if it's more gassy right after opening? I think it's like the trend of low alcohol with gas.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑧ This is another unknown sake brewery, Yukijaku Sake Brewery. It is made from Yamada-Nishiki with a 38% rice polishing ratio and unfiltered. According to the official website, there are two types of sake: hi-ire and nama, but the one I drank was probably hi-ire. I think it was fruity and quite sweet 🤔. Forgot to take notes💦.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑦ First visit to Hasamaya Sake Brewery The brewery is the family home of singer/songwriter Kaori Kano, who herself is the head brewer. It is a revived brewery that resumed its own brewing after many years of consignment brewing. The sake is quite matured and a little bit bitter. It seems that a different sake with the same label was also aged for a long time. They were sold out by the time I arrived, but Nemuchi-san said the raw sake was delicious.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑥ Moved to the Yomiuri Shimbun booth. They had a collection of sake from breweries all over Japan. There were many sakes that I had never heard of 😳. Chiyonokame is a sake brewery that is a member of the Meimon Sake Association, but is rarely seen. (The name has now been changed to Chiyonokame Sake Brewery. Here is another sake using Sakurahime yeast! Polishing ratio 45%. Ehizake is a word for Ehime sake and is a registered trademark of this brewery. I think it was sweeter and more to my liking than the rabbit ballerina I just had. I forgot to take notes💦. You can't buy it at this booth, but I checked and it's priced at 3300 yen for a 4-pack.

Good morning bouken 🐥. I've never seen this brand before 😳Every time I read a review of an event or a brewery tour, I'm amazed at how many sake breweries I don't know about 😊. I'm worried about the earthquake in Ehime and Kochi 😰.

Hi Ponchan 😃 I was so busy seeing all the breweries that I had never seen before 😁. Ehime has many small breweries so I was worried but I guess it was ok because no information came up 🤔.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑤. Booths (2) to (5) in the post are the booths of SAKENOTE LLC. Is it a sake consulting business? Is it a kind of company? Sake was available for purchase at this booth. Totally new to me, Utsunomiya Sake Brewery. For a moment I thought "Tochigi Ai🥰? I thought it was Tochigi Ai🥰, but it was a sake from Ehime Prefecture. It has the same name as Shiki Sakura's Utsunomiya Shuzo 😅. This one seems to be named after the brewer, Utsunomiya. I drank Hanakami Sake made with peach-colored yeast. I didn't realize it was peach yeast when I drank it😅It was sweet and delicious! Rabbit Ballerina Special Junmai It seems to be made with a flower yeast called Sakurahime. It is said to be sweet, but I didn't feel much sweetness. I bought Hanakami, which was really delicious 😋.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024④. Shodoshima Sake Brewery. I have never had this sake before, but I have the impression that it has many unusual names such as Bibibibi and Fufufu. Junmai Daiginjo with olive yeast It's pretty ordinary for the 4000 yen it costs... It has a strong sake taste. I remember Nemuchi and I were both mmm🤔. If it's olive yeast, I might prefer Ayagiku or Kawatsuru.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024③. Since it was a ticketed event, I couldn't waste my money and drank while sharing the brands I had never drunk before.... But there were so many brands I've never had before😅. I've seen it before, but I've never bought it. I took this opportunity to drink it. It has a slightly traditional Yamahagase atmosphere, with an impressive acidity. It has a thick and mild mouthfeel. I would like to try this directly pumped nama sake because it seems to have a good reputation.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024 (2) Gindagawa, which I have had a cup of special honjozo or something before. Was Gintagawa sold in Niigata? I thought it was a classic type, but unlike the image on the label, the acidity was noticeable and it was a bit modern? It looks like it would go well with Western food 🍴.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024①. An event hosted by Kansai Television held at Ogimachi Park. I was curious about this event because there were many sake breweries I didn't know about, but I decided to go there after hearing the information from Nemuchi who went there before me. After we arrived and met up, Nemuchi-san gave me this sake 😁. There are many sake breweries in Ehime that I don't know about. I had never heard of Nishimoto Sake Brewery's Toranoo. It's like an orthodox daiginjo. Quite classical. Quite refreshing.
