A sweet, apple-scented sake. It is not a typical Daisetsukei sake, but I like it. Directly pumped from the limited server during the brewery opening. It is fresh and crisp. I think it goes well with Sanzokuyaki.
Azumino Ikeda-machi Sake Brewery Festival 2025 5/24 10:00-16:00 Daisukei and Fukugen in Ikeda-machi opened their breweries for the first time in 6 years.
The Daisetsueki venue was very lively with a live performance by a singer from Nagano Prefecture and many oily stalls. The brewery tours were good with quite professional explanations. There were 14(!) free tastings and 7 paid tastings. It is interesting that the more expensive the tasting is, the more delicious it is.
The fresh amazake (sweet sake) that they serve is delicious.
I'm sure there are some people who went to the same event as the Kamidori brewery opening, but I couldn't make it.

This is the one where the bubbles start to blow.
Immediately after opening the bottle, the numbness of the bubbles gives it a dry impression, but as it settles down, it is sweet and bitter. It also gives a sense of softness.
Purchased at a sake brewery.
Located in Ikeda-machi, this sake brewery boasts an immense presence in the Chushin region.
The brewery's limited editions bear the name "Kamon" (flower pattern). It seems that the equipment for direct pumping has recently started operating, but when I went there, it was sold out. Too bad. They also sell snacks and goods in a fairly clean sales area.
Sake of the mountain It is good after all, Daisetsukkei.
The sake I'm going to introduce here is Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Genshu from Daisekkei Sake Brewery in Ikeda-machi, Nagano Prefecture, my home town.
This is a sake that is only available at liquor stores in Omachi City.
It is a one square bottle.
It was refreshing on the palate.
We drank it at room temperature.
