Tasted and purchased. Firmly sweet but refreshing. Maybe citrusy? Dangerous one because of the low alcohol content. I wish Shirobotan would release fresh sake.
It is sweet, but the alcohol taste is a little strong. I feel it is a bit strong.
I think it tastes better after about 2 days than when it is freshly opened, even though it is fire-aged. It is similar to the impression I had when I drank it at a tasting.
Good evening, bouken!
I didn't see any of the ones you mentioned earlier, but they look delicious! Hanshin department store, you do a lot of tasting and selling 😳‼
Good evening, Pon-chan 😀
Hanshin in Umeda has 3 sake breweries and 1 shochu brewery coming for tasting and selling on a weekly basis 😉 I think Hankyu had 4 breweries of sake alone 🙂.
The rice was given to them from a testing facility that has not yet been released to the public. They said they can serve it for 2200 for a bottle because they don't charge for the rice. They recommended it to me, but I can't afford a bottle😅.
I had to take a picture of it because I couldn't seem to find a picture of it even if I searched for it.
It tasted sweet and gentle.
I had a hard time deciding which one to buy because they were all delicious, but I decided to buy the light nigori (light nigori) and the top-sampling sake, which has excellent cost performance.
I have wondered for a while if Shirobotan makes any nama-zake. I've never seen it before.
From the instagram, it looks like the person who put the sake in the bottle was the president of the company.
Good evening, bouken🌠.
I've been a fan of Shirobotan since the Hankyu Sake Brewery Festival❣️I think this sake is very cost-effective👍✨I think you could only order a bottle of it at Hankyu💦.
Good evening, good evening.
They also offer packaged sake and it seems to be a standard sake in Hiroshima 😉 It's delicious but you won't find it outside of department stores 🤔I guess at this price you'll feel like you're paying a premium for a 4-goupe 😅.
Tasted this one too.
Beautiful, fruity and a little mellow.
I think I was allowed to drink almost all of the sake in the line.
The brewer told me that they don't make dry sake, so they don't like it when people ask for dry sake.
Good evening ( ・・・・・・・)
Give me a dry taste of everything! There are a lot of old men who say
Is Maruho Sake Shop in Kujo?
I'm in the neighborhood, I'll go check it out.
Good evening, Shinjo-san 😃.
I think you should let those old guys drink Echino Kanme or Kikumasamune (I'm not disrespecting the breweries I mentioned). Yes, it's the Kujo liquor store 😊.
They specialize in craft beer to the extent that they import directly themselves, so the lineup of local sake is a mystery 🤔I'm just saying, why don't you go there then 😅.
(I just looked at the official site from the instagram, and there are indeed Shinshu Kamerei, Yukino Kayasha, and Ryuriki in the images.
I'm going to see if it's not a waste of time.
I see you also have Snow Kayasha and Ryu-ryoku! I remember I saw some of the stories in the past about Senzuke and Hokusetsu. I think they also have a corner shop if you want to visit 😊.
Oh, you can see the Snow Kayasha and Ryuriki in the store photo on the official website 😅 There were also labels that looked like Yamaboshi and Kozutsumi!
Unfortunately, it's sold out, but they are handling it (...)
The store is not sending out the arrival.
Sake is really scarce.
Only Kozutsumi was well stocked for some reason!
Shinjo-san Thanks for the quick confirmation 🙇If there's not enough sake, it's hard to get in 😅If there's nothing good, I'll have to buy beer at random and go home 🍺.
This was also at the tasting. Gorgeous but a little thin? I thought.
I've never tasted rice called Yatan 35 before. I heard they use a yeast called "2021".
I was at the Hanshin Department Store and was able to sample a lot of Hakubotan's products. They were all delicious!
This is Junmai Ginjo Nakakumi.
It was refreshing, gorgeous, fruity, and delicious!
Good evening, good evening 😃.
I've had my eye on this one for a while now and it's even better than I thought it would be 😍White peony every one I drank was usually sweet 😁.
After a quick shopping at the brewery festival, we went to the Hanshin Department Store. The Kawai Sake Brewery is a rare visitor to Umeda. I sometimes visit the Kintetsu Department Store in Harukas, though.
They say it's sweet, but it's not as sweet as they say. There is sweetness, though. It has a slightly ripe, mild and gentle taste. Seems better with a meal than on its own. Chocolate, nutty and sour accents.
I also tasted a sake called Aya, which was said to be dry, but I think Aya might have been easier to drink.
I bought a bottle of Izuseio a few years ago, which was a raw, watered-down sake, but I think it was easier to drink than the raw sake.
But overall, this sake has a matured feel to it. I think they said they pressed it in winter or spring and let it sit.
It is sweeter and easier to drink than the first impression I had of it, but it is not a modern taste, so there may be different tastes. Seems to be good warmed up.
Toyokuni for a very long time. I didn't write it down, but they said it was bag-hung. It has a juicy flavor with a gentle sweetness that is very drinkable. This time I bought it at a tasting sale at a department store, but there are not many liquor stores in Kansai that carry it... Nakamura Sake-ten in Amagasaki or Youmeikan in Yokozutsumi?
It tastes sweeter when it is taken out of the refrigerator and brought to room temperature.
Good evening, Mr. Manachie.
I used to be able to buy it at Yodobashi Camera 😢It's true that there is a big gap between the label and the taste 🤣It seems like it should be more popular.
At a tasting at Hanshin Department Store. I was attracted by the bag pickup. It was tasty but a little chunky.
It's too cosy to buy a bag of wine for only 1,000 yen!
The Junmai Ginjo that Manachie-san was drinking before was more fruity, so I bought that one.
Rabenten is not often seen at liquor stores, but since it was at a department store, I bought it. The Yamadanishiki sake was sold out, so I chose Dewa Sanzan.
It is quite gorgeous and fruity. The second half is a little spicy, but it is easy to drink.
I bought it because it looked rare.
They said it was made by a pair of young employees who went through the sake brewing process as a kind of training for young employees.
Unlike the regular 30%9 sake, this sake seems to be a pure sake. It is fruity and thicker than the usual Otter Sake. It is not thin, but has a strong umami and Otter-like flavor.
I think I prefer it to the usual Otters. It seems that the employee in charge switches to a different version depending on the time of the year.
This is also at the tasting. I had wanted to try it for a long time. The brother here was very friendly.
I didn't buy it, so I won't say a spell.
The sake is beautiful and goes in easily. I have never had such a beautiful Aizan.
Personally, I prefer a little more umami.
It was a little expensive, so I bought a bottle of Dewa Sanzu, which I had originally wanted to buy.
I also bought some craft otter sake because I was curious about it.
Next week, Isao Heki is coming to Kansai for the first time in a while, so I am looking forward to it. I plan to buy some flower yeast if there is any.
Hitogochi rice is used.
I got the impression that the freshness and fruity sweet/umami taste was accented by a slight bitterness. I think I prefer the Misuzu Junmai Ginjo I drank before, which has a stronger sweet/fruity flavor.
I think it gets sweeter and better after a longer time than when it is freshly opened.
Sake from a brewery famous for Ryujinmaru. It has been a very long time since Kirakuri.
After Shikishima, tkmts-san was drinking Ryujinmaru, and I wanted to try something of Takagaki-san's sake, so I chose Kirakuri.
This time it was an unfiltered raw Nakadori. It has a caramelized taste with sweetness and a sense of maturity.
It's just a coincidence that there is a succession of sakes with a sense of maturity, such as Washin, Shikishima, and Kirakuri.
bouken-san ♪
Ryujinmaru also has a matured and caramelized taste.
It's delicious, but it's better to drink it in autumn or winter.
I think I would like to drink it in autumn or winter.
It's a sake that can be enjoyed with oden (oden) that has a strong mustard flavor.
I guess that's the image of sake.
Good evening, tkmts🌆.
Like Shikishima, it looks like a good sake to drink heated in winter 🍶.
The sake quality seems to be strong, so it doesn't seem to change its taste even if you let it sit for a while 😊.
I have never seen this sake outside of an antenna store. I bought it at the Hanshin Department Store. I think I prefer it at room temperature rather than chilled. Basically, I think it is a dry sake suitable for eating.
I wish it was a little less alcoholic.
Even if it tastes good at the tasting, I often feel like it's not so good when I drink it at home... I often feel that it's not so good when I drink it at home....
I was surprised to find Honro-no-Matsu and Sekizen in the renewed and enlarged sake section of Hanshin Department Store. I think they are quite minor brands even in Nagano.
2021/10/13 Ume-sakura, Umeda Hanshin Department Store B2F
RYU-RIKI Special Junmai Namatamoto Jikomi HONDA Shoten (Hyogo)
65% polished rice, Sake degree +3, Acidity 2.1, Alcohol content 16
I had it warmed up, and it's as good as you'd expect from Hyogo's special A rice. The taste was firm but not heavy, and the aroma was very sweet 😋.
2021/10/13 Ume-sakura, Umeda Hanshin Department Store B2F
Shichibon鎗 Tamayoi Junmai Tomita Shuzo (Shiga)
60% polished rice, Sake degree +3, Acidity 1.8, Alcohol content 15
This sake has a soft mouthfeel and an unconventional taste that goes well with anything from sashimi to fried and grilled dishes😋.
A raw version of the standard Junmai sake.
I saw it at Hanshin Department Store, which has a minimal selection due to the moving of the sales floor, and bought it because it looked rare.
In fact, I couldn't find it when I searched for it...
I think I had tasted the hi-ire version in the past, but it was the rice sweetness type. This one has a similar nuance, but it has a gentle sweetness followed by a strong alcohol taste.
I don't think it's very much like a raw sake.
This brewery's sake is sweet, but not fruity. It's more like sugar or rice sweetness.
