Drinking Gifu's Local Sake 2024 in Osaka④.
This is also the first time to see Hakusen Sake Brewery.
Kawabe-cho is a little above Minokamo city 🤔.
Not many people drink and the only person I follow is Masa 😅.
I drank
Kuromatsu Hakusen Junmai Ginjo Hana
Polishing ratio 55% Hidahomare, Yamadanishiki
Deliciously fruity with a clean aftertaste!
Kuromatsu Hakusen Junmai Daiginjo Kuro
Polishing ratio 45%, Yamadanishiki, Sake meter -4
Deliciously refreshing and fruity
Drinking Gifu's Local Sake 2024 in Osaka ③.
Snow White, the first time I saw her.
The only female toji in Gifu.
Perhaps the woman who came to the event was the Touji-san.
There seems to be a brewery not far from Ogaki station 🤔.
Ogaki can be a day trip with time to spare 😁.
What we drank
MINONISHKI Nama-Hashiwazukuri Junmai-Ginjo Nama-Nagara Sake
Polishing ratio 58% Hidahomare Sake meter -16
I thought it was Minonishiki but the rice is Hidahomare😅.
It looks like Minonishiki is a brand name that's been around for a long time.
Sour. Slightly high perversity. Taste like Mai-bijin.
Snow White Junmai Daiginjo
Polishing ratio 50%, Hatsushimo, Sake meter +4
Well, is this one too subtle? It's too clear...
There is no ginjo aroma, and it doesn't have enough flavor to be called "Ajiginjo".
Hakusetsu Hime Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake Gohyakumangoku
Polishing ratio 68%, Sake meter -1
There are two types of junmai nama-zake, and this one is sweeter, so I tried it.
This is also an unfiltered raw sake, but the umami is weak or absent, and it is subtle...
I enjoyed MINONISHKI, which is like Mai-bijin, but this one is also very peculiar, so there may be different tastes 🤔.
Drinking Gifu's Local Sake 2024 in Osaka (2)
Tokoro Sake Brewery after 2 weeks since the Japanese Sake Festival
We drank
Usagishin GOLD
Polishing ratio 45% Yamadanishiki, price 4000 yen
According to the information on the internet, it is a second fermentation in the bottle with a middle pumping.
It is bitter-sweet and fruity!
Usagishin BLACK Hidahomare unfiltered unpasteurized sake
Polishing ratio 65%.
I bought and drank it in the past. It is bitter-sweet fruity and delicious!
Ms. Yuri Minami of Miss SAKE Osaka served sake at this booth!
Drinking Gifu's Local Sake 2024 in Osaka①.
Yes, I'm here. As usual, Nemuchi and I participated in the event.
The venue was far from the station, so we arrived just in time💦.
As with all Japanese sake festivals, we started off with Ichidotsusenzan!
We drank
ICHIDUSHIKU SENZAN Comet Arahashigiri Nama Sake
Polishing ratio 60
Sweet and tasty with a hint of spicy flavor!
Mikotsuru Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 35
I forgot to take a picture of it so I borrowed it from Nemuchi 😅
List price 5000 yen
Fruity, sweet and delicious!
Ichijirushizusenzan Hachitanishiki Nama-nara sake
Polishing ratio 60
Dry and sharp. A little spicy.
Mino Kohmei Gifu Summer Junmai Ginjo Namaisakara
Polishing ratio 60% Hidahomare
This was brought to the Japanese Sake Festival but not drunk. I drank this one towards the end of the festival, so it didn't leave much of an impression...
We brought different sakes from the Japanese Sake Festival, and they were all delicious.
I heard from Mr. Matsuchiyo that the toji used to work at Narumi, so I was going to check him out, but I forgot💦.
There are no exclusive distributors in Kansai and they only come to Nishinomiya Hankyu and Takarazuka Hankyu once a year. I saw it at Omato-San in Arashiyama, but I wonder if it was a spot shipment.
Nishinomiya Hankyu also carries Tenryo and I wonder if they are strong in Gifu sake 🤔.
