The aroma is similar to that of Hozasu ｜Roku Nozomi, and is still bananas. The fruit aroma is milder here, but the rice aroma is more enjoyable.
The acidity and bitterness are also less pronounced. The sweetness is thick and thick like that of bananas. It's so good!
That's all for CRAFT SAKE WEEK 2025 Part 3. Thank you very much.
The aroma is surprisingly banana itself. It is said to be brewed in a wooden vat, but the aroma is banana rather than cedar.
The taste is also 70% banana (although I had a preconceived notion based on the aroma), and 30% pineapple-like sweet and sour with a refreshing aftertaste. The aftertaste is slightly bitter. The taste is complex and unique to the sake.
Oh, my goodness! I am glad I could have the sansho I longed for. Thank you very much.
CRAFT SAKE WEEK 2025 Part 2.
Juicy, refreshing sweetness like muscat and green apple. The acidity of white yeast rice gives it a clean aftertaste. The bitterness is almost imperceptible.
Certainly an "unorthodox" taste that is far removed from sake. White wine? Cider? No, it is a juice. Easy to drink, but too much.
Heretical Oyasama Kabushiki Kaisha-sama, I immediately became a fanatic of your company. I would love to meet you again. Thank you very much.
The following is a bonus.
At CRAFT SAKE WEEK 2025. Part 1.
Among all the gorgeous sake breweries, Niimasa was the most popular and there was a long line.
And I found out later from the official X that the pours were very VIP....
It must have been a valuable experience. It was my first time to attend such a sake event, but it was a lot of fun. Thank you very much.
This year we participated again in Craft Sake Week, now the largest sake event in Japan. We will start off with a limited edition draft sake made with locally grown organic rice from Mie 🤎.
Craft Sake Week✨
Last day, Team Jyushi Day
2nd drink in a row, got 3 different kinds.
Nabari.
The refreshing taste is similar to Hakutsuru Nishiki, but the aroma is different.
Good balance of sweetness and sourness😍.

We went to Jikin with a long line of customers while drinking Toyo Bijin-san.
After standing in line for 15 minutes, my sake-loving friend and I had no choice but to drink all 3 types already!
Hakutsuru Nishiki with a blue label ✨.
Delicious cold and insanely refreshing and sweet!

Gave up waiting 90 minutes for Jyushiyo
Junmai Daiginjo by Toyo Bijin
This one is also sweet! Fruity and easy to drink!
Compared to Aizan, this one has a more handsome aftertaste.
Both were delicious 😆.

We were able to visit on the last day as well!
As expected, the crowd was amazing as the star breweries were gathered!
Overwhelmed by the crowd, we started with Toyo Bijin.
I took a sip and said, "Sweet! I was surprised.
It is Aizan, so it has a strong sweetness and a great umami flavor.
It was easy to drink when it was cold, but gradually it became heavier.
