Fukkai direct bottled Yamadanishiki raw Conventional farming/no pesticides.
CRAFT SAKE WEEK 2025.
We participated in the Day 6 "History Brewed by One Sake". A distinguished lineup of 10 breweries that have been in business for over 250 years.
From Fukkai, which we received the other day, we compared the Yamada-Nishiki made by conventional farming method and the Yamada-Nishiki made without agricultural chemicals, although the manufacturing method was the same as that of nama-shu and nikkumi.
Both have a fresh gaseous taste. The conventionally farmed Yamadanishiki has a more direct sweetness, while the pesticide-free Yamadanishiki is more refreshing and has a deeper flavor. Both were delicious!
Second of the night (theme is “Brewed with History”). 4 coins.
Very dry but with a fruity finish, if that makes sense. To me, better as an aperitif, as a stand alone without food.
Said to Craft Sake Week Exclusive.
Sorry to edit. My second session at RH Craft Sake Week, on 4/23. Tonight’s theme — Brewed with History.
My only 8 coin purchase (maybe ever?) and worth it. Great flavors & balance. Sad I was standing in a convention setting and not at home with my bride & dog, & home food. Really good stuff.
Support Kyoto sakegura. No disappointments.
