Sparkling with secondary fermentation in the bottle.
It is very sweet and sour. The flavor is a little bit peculiar, but it's delicious.

After leaving Ogimachi Park, Nemuchi and I went to 2 liquor stores, Niigata, and Hankyu 😁.
I had a glass of Akagisan for the first time in a while and it was a little sweeter than the ones I had in the past, but it felt spicy 🤔.
Centrifugal nigori and the raw sake I've had in the past were easier to drink...

Uijin.
The Furuhashi Sake Brewery was a completely newcomer to Hankyu.
It was almost the first time for him to attend an event. He had only participated in an event at Shimonoseki Daimaru in the past.
We drank
Junmai Ginjo
The rice is Sakonishiki. Polishing ratio 50%.
I thought it was fruity and sweeter than the others I drank this time.
Junmai Daiginjo
The rice is Yamada-Nishiki with a 35% polishing ratio.
It was about 3,600 yen for a 4-goupe bottle, but considering the polish, I thought it was relatively inexpensive because it was Yamada-Nishiki. It is gorgeous, but gives a more subdued impression than Junmai Ginjo.
Junmai Dry Harazake
Junmai dry sake with 19 degrees Celsius. I think it was +15 sake.
It tastes dry and you don't feel the high alcohol content.
The person at the department store said it was his personal recommendation. Personal recommendation of a person at a department store.
Junmai Shiboritate
This is one of the few sake breweries that make a pure sake. Not very sweet, but the acidity is impressive.
The overall impression is that the quality of the sake is not like San'in sake, but it is a little spicy.
I met up with Neemuchi at the Ogimachi Park event after this and visited with him again on the way home, and the brewery owner was there!

I tasted Kagatobi.
I told them I wanted something sweeter.
It was the most gorgeous and fruity Kagatobi I've ever tasted.
I forgot to take a picture 💦.
I forgot to take a picture 💦 but the price was reasonable so I didn't buy it.
I found the sake that Mr. Sakeran was drinking and bought it 😁.

We drank
Karahashi Junmai Ginjo Omachi
Delicious, but a little spicy.
Karahashi Junmai Ginjo Yume no Kou
It was sweet and delicious. I would like to drink it raw.
Kitakata Terroir EPISODE IV
I think it was fruity, but I was not impressed...
What is not to be, is to be... Junmai Ginjyo Genjyo
It was quite sweet and tasty. I heard that they didn't bring any KARAHASHI Yamada-Nishiki because this is Yamada-Nishiki.
Nemuchi-san seems to have reached his limit, so we are leaving the venue, but we will continue a little more...

The brewer didn't come, so it was like a separate event.

Taisetsukei with a good impression after drinking at a brewer's festival and at a local liquor store
I drank
Betsu-ai Junmai Ginjo
Refreshingly fresh, sweet and delicious!
Special Junmai Nama-jyu
It was delicious, but the best way to enjoy Taisetsukei is to drink it straight from the bottle.
I think I may have had some of the nama sake, but I think I've already posted it in the past, so I'll skip it.

KUROEMON XVI, chosen as the cover of the flyer of this event
Some of the sakes were sold out, and they were replenished frequently.
We drank
Junmai Ginjo Miyamanishiki Champion Sake
It has a gentle sweetness and a good freshness.
Junmai Hitogokochi
A little spicy 🤔.
Yamahai Junmai Miyamanishiki 13
Low alcohol and gentle taste. It is a bit dry. It seems to be a little spicy 🤔●Junmai Hitogokkyo
Kisoji Sanwari Koji Junmai
Sweet, but tastes better cold or warmed than cold.

Kinmon 59 Junmai Dry
I don't think it was very spicy.
Junmai Dry
Surprisingly, this might be the best except on the rocks.
Rocks: Unblended sake
Tasted only because it was sold out.
It's like an "eye breaker", with a lot of gusto but with a sweetness. Looks even better on the rocks.

Do you think people would understand the name "Toyoka" better than the name "Kamito"?
What did we drink?
Junmai Dry
As written, the sharpness is impressive.
Junmai Ginjo
The label is more luxurious than the price.
Junmai Ginjo PETILLANT
Sold out and tasted only. It is a sake designed to be stored in wine barrels. It was the sweetest and most delicious.
I heard it has a gaseous taste when it is freshly opened.
MIWATARI CONNECTION Junmai Ginjo RED
Stored in red wine barrels. It has a body like red wine.
I liked the taste a lot.
MIWATARI CONNECTION Junmai Ginjo WHITE
Stored in white wine barrels. It tasted spicier than the red wine.

Masumi is a major brewery among Nagano breweries. I've only had seasonal sake, so I drank a lot of different kinds.
I drank
Junmai Ginjo Shinju AKA
This was the sweetest and most delicious. Not like Yamahai.
They said they used Nagano yeast instead of No.7. Maybe R?
Junmai Ginjo URUSHIKURO KURO
Sparkling ORIGARAMI
Looks like Champagne. It's a crown type, so you have to drink it with more than one person.
Junmai Daiginjo Yamahana
These were unquestionably delicious!
Junmai Daiginjo Shichi-No.

Mizuo is known to be delicious, but there are few special dealers, so there are few opportunities to buy it.
The brewer with an Afro like Toshinobu Kubota of yesteryear was there. I wondered if he was the son of the president.
We drank
Special Junmai Kinmon Nishiki
I've had raw sake in the past, but I feel the hi-ire version is spicier.
Junmai Ginjo Kinmon Nishiki
Ippiki
I thought this one should be heated.
Ichihachi Junmai Daiginjo
This is my favorite type of gorgeous sake.
The brewer told me that he likes fruity type 😅It seems to be an unorthodox type in this brewery.

This is the brewery that revived Takananishiki.
They have been here for tasting and sales before, but I have never had it.
I drank the following
Junmai Haru Hitohira
A refreshing, slightly fragrant, spring-like sake!
Junmai Ginjo Sarukono-Izumi
This was quite tasty. The cup sake with a yuru-kyara label said this is what was inside. It's a cosy cup of sake.
Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjozo Oikan Shibori
I like it because it's quite sweet and tasty. I bought it 😊.
Honjozo Katsudo Nigori Sake Shiraki Tenryu
It's a very tight and shiny sake. It has sweetness, but I think it has a strong alcohol taste.

Kutsunokake Sake Brewery of Mutou. I thought they might not bring Mutou because it seemed to be for special dealers, but they did!
They came under the name of "Fuku Muhaku," but I think they had more products of Mutou.
I drank
Kakushidama Junmai Ginjyo Nama Sake Nagano R
There are many fruity sake with R yeast, but this one was quite spicy!
Osaesuage Junmai Ginjyo Nama Nama Sake Nagano C
This sake is made with Alps yeast. Not very impressive.
Junmai Ginjyo Nama-no-Genjo-Nihon Sake
I think it was pretty sweet and tasty.
Nakatsuku Junmai Ginjyo Usu Nigori Nama-genshu
Tasted only because it was sold out. I like this one the best when it's a reciprocal.
It seems to be the same product as the Relief we drank at home in the past.
Junmai-shu Tora Label
It seems to be an everyday evening sake.
Fukufuku Muhaku Daiginjo-nama sake Yamadanishiki Fukuro-hari
It's so good that it's expensive!
Sorry I didn't buy it while appealing to buy it 🙏.
I asked about the naming of the starters and suppressors, and they said it was the order of release.
I read it as "Arabashiri", "Nakatori", and "Yakusui", but I was wrong😅.

The Kurosawa Sake Brewery was recently featured in Laughing at Koratte.
The name "Kurosawa" conjures up an image of a sake brewer.
The sake we drank was
All sake is made from the same sake brewing process.
Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama-genshu
It has an acidity that is typical for a sake made from the "nama yeast" principle. It was quite spicy.
Junmai Ginjo Shikatsu (2019)
Junmai Hozumi
Not my favorite type.
I think this was the one that had the same cardboard-like boxy flavor that I had when I drank Shikishima.
Junmai Ginjo ㋣ Cornerstone Unfiltered Nama Sake
Junmai Shinryoku Nama-shu
It's low-alcohol, but I wonder if it's watered down. Easy to drink and powerful at the same time.
Junmai Daiginjo㋣SAKU1
Tokoro-san said this is what he was drinking.
Junmai Daiginjo Kinmon Nishiki
This is the only one that I felt gorgeous.
Overall, it was spicier than the Kurosawa we drank at home and out.
The common feeling among all the products was the acidity that is typical of the sake brewing process.
Japanese>English

Good evening, bouken 😃.
I'm afraid I'm not talking about Kurosawa, but regarding the characteristic aroma of Shikishima, I once talked with Mr. Kawada of chuin about 🤔 that the smell of wood might have been transferred during koji making since a new koji room was built.

Tachibanakura Shuzo, I have seen it several times in department stores, but this is the first time I have had it!
I drank
Amazake
I only tasted it because it was sold out. The taste and sweetness were strong and there were many grains of rice. It was like eating while drinking.
Mushinzo Hitogokochi Unfiltered Nama Sake
Gorgeous, but quite spicy.
Mushinzo Junmai Ginjo ORO
Mushinzo Junmai Ginjo ORO is made with flower yeast. I thought it was the most refreshing and easy-drinking type of sake I had.
Junmai Daiginjo Tachibana
A beautiful taste that does not remind one of its 3-year aging. Relatively sweet for a sake from this brewery.
Foamy junmai-shu Tamayura
Purchased because it was 300 ml.
Honjozo Barrel Sake
Among the many cask sake, the cask aroma was subdued and the sake flavor was stronger.
Overall, I got the impression that it was a dry sake brewery.
I've recommended a lot of Nagano sake 😅.
I've never seen Yokobue... 🙄.

There are only a few special sake stores, and only Tamago has ever had Imanishiki, so I tried a variety of sake 😋.
We drank
Junmai Ginjo Kinmon-Nishiki Nama-nara Sake
It is sweet and delicious, but more reserved than Miyamanishiki.
Nakagawa Village Tamako Special Junmai Namaishu
Slightly spicy, similar to the impression I had in the past.
Junmai Ginjo Miyamanishiki
The sweetest and most delicious of all the sake we tasted.
Junmai Ginjo Kinmon Nishiki
Junmai Ginjo Yamae Nishiki
Junmai Daiginjo
He said this was his top pick.
Nenrin Junmai Daiginjo
Fruity and even better than the previous junmai daiginjo.
HAKUMEI Junmai Sake
Low alcohol. It was sweet and sour.
Umeshu (plum wine)
Naturally sweet and tasty, but could be a little richer.
The only place I know of that carries it is Hinodeya Sake Shop in Incheon, but they carry both Kinmame and Mizuo 🤔.
I think the toji of Raku no Se used to be at Imanishiki, right? They brew totally different sake!

The 9th Traveling SAKE④.
This one also has a good impression on me personally, before dawn.
I have never had a fire-brewed sake before, so I will take this opportunity 😁.
I drank
Special Honjozo Tatsunogin
I thought Tatsunogin was the name of rice, but apparently it's because the brewery is located in Tatsuno-cho😅Fruity and refreshing, it's hard to believe it's a honjozo. It's a shocking taste 😳.
Junmai Ginjo Kinmon Nishiki
This one is also quite gorgeous and sweet.
Junmai Kinumoka
It is said to be dry, but I didn't feel it was that dry.
I guess it's a food sake type.
Junmai Ginjo Nama Ippon Shizukudori Nama Sake
Slightly refreshing, sweet and fruity. It has the same 🍍feel as when I drank it in the past.
Junmai Ginjo Nama Ippon
I think they were all delicious before dawn.
Daiginjo 2023 Trophy-winning sake
Not at a price you can afford, but very gorgeous and delicious!
Junmai Daiginjo Yamada Nishiki
Another gorgeous sake. A good sake to drink on New Year's Day.
Daiginjo Seikan Brewing
It was said to be watered down to 50% polished. It's usually delicious, but the order in which you drink it... 😅
The founder of Yodobashi was a brewer at Yodobashi and they sell all kinds of sake because of that connection 😳They also sell a lot of Nagano sake because they are from Nagano.
The brewer was really into the Tenzan t-shirt Nemuchi-san was wearing 😁So there is that kind of connection too 😆.

I bought a bottle of nama-shu at a local liquor store and was shocked at the taste, Nanashira, and since I have never had fire-aged sake except hiyaoroshi, I was curious about the standard sake and so on.
I drank
Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake
I drank this at a local liquor store and it was so delicious that I unusually bought it on repeat. It was as good as ever. Many people who tasted it bought it and went home. Nemuchi-san was also happy with it 😁.
Kiso Yoshinaka Junmai Ginjo Light
This sake is brewed under a certain theme every year. This year it seems to be low-alcohol. It is a gentle and easy-drinking sake.
Junmai Ginjo
Quite fruity and sweet. I like it a lot.
Kiso Miyamanishiki Junmai
Mild but floral type
Junmai
A type of sake that you never get tired of drinking. I thought it was great that this was a standard sake.
Daiginjo Ginka
I think they said it was good. Almost all of this class are good!
Overall, I have a good impression of its sweet taste. It would be good if they handled more of it.
The member stores of Meimon Sake Kai only handle it on a spot basis, and there is no sales channel in Kansai 😅.

Wagyo Shuzo, which changed its name from Shokame Shuzo due to various reasons, and the brother of the master brewer visited us.
The brewer's brother came to the brewery.
We drank
Unfiltered raw sake
Normal sake. It had a grape-like taste. Gattun type.
I think this one is my favorite among all the ones I drank.
Junmai Unfiltered Nama-genshu
This is also a heavy type, but it didn't leave much impression...
Yoshimura Junmai Daiginjo
I thought it was modern among the sake breweries here. I thought so.
I asked about the origin of Yoshimura and was told it was the name of the president of a group company😅.
Daiginjo
It's an expensive sake, but I felt a little uncomfortable with the taste.
Junmai Ginjo
It's gorgeous and sweeter than the other ones I've had, but 🤔.
The flavor was a little strange too.
Junmai sake
I think it was the easiest to drink.
It has nothing to do with this brewery, but when I drank Alps Masamune, I realized once again that I prefer daiginjo with alcohol rather than jun-dai.
