Timeline
boukenSake purchased at Tomekawa Sake Shop, aka Salad Pavilion.
The rice is Matsuyama Mitsui from Ehime.
It is fresh and gassy.
The overall impression is dry, but as the brewer and the liquor store say, it has a strawberry-like flavor.
Once again, the sweetness is moderate. boukenI bought it because of its good reputation 😁.
I bought it at Tomegawa Sake Brewery, a crazy salad shop that sold out at the end of the year and gave up but restocked.
It was more gassy and shwashy than I expected. It has a slightly sweet and soft taste. I got the impression that it ends with a trace of bitterness 😋.
I think I know what you mean when you say it tastes like a sports drink 🤔. あおちゃんGood evening, bouken.
Your reputation has me curious lately too 😰.
I'm interested in sports drinks 😁.
I can't get to the crazy salad hall, but if you know of any stores around Kyoto that carry it, please let me know 😁. アラジンGood evening, bouken 😃The Urasato Light Nigori, 2nd lot in March, is actually a different sake with the same ingredients and blend but a different sake design 😳.
I also tasted the Urasato Junmai Ginjo Hitanishiki the other day and was impressed after a long time 🍶. boukenAo, good evening 😃.
I felt the coolness like a sports drink 😁.
We don't have a distributor in Kyoto, so please come to Kinoshita Meishakuten in Minami-Senri or Senri-Chuo 🥺. boukenAladdin, good evening 😃.
I'm also interested in the 2nd lot 🤔
I was recommended to try the Hitachi Nishiki when I visited, but I've had it in the past and decided to pass on it this time 😅.
Umaisan bought it 😊. ShinkaiSPARKLING なべかんむり 三女原酒生酒にごり酒発泡 boukenIt doesn't say it, but it's an active raw sake, and I bought a two-year-old sake at half price.
It didn't spurt because of the hole in the stopper😅.
I'm not sure if it has changed in 2 years, but it has a unique and interesting taste.
It's like an orchid without the graininess and complexity 😁.
I think Kamikai is also a treasure trove of weird sake 🤔. アラジンGood evening, bouken😄.
I see you've already had a drink! I'm glad it didn't explode😅
If you remove the graininess and complexity from orchid sake... I guess what's left is sourness 🙄 2 years seems to be a big deal for active raw sake, maybe it's the original taste 😅. boukenGood morning Aladdin 😃.
It was indeed a sweet and sour drink 😋.
I sometimes get pickle-like nuances in low-alcohol sparkling drinks, so maybe it's the original 😅. ポンちゃんHi bouken 🐦.
I'm interested in all the nabekanmuri, mizu-hashiroku, koji-mashimashi... there are many kinky sakes I want to drink by Jinkai 😆. boukenGood evening, Ponchan 😃.
Nabekanmuri is low al and 300ml so I recommend it for a quick drink👍The water yeast here is delicious 😋I'm also interested in the succinic acid that Nemuchi-san was drinking 🤔It's coming to Hanshin so it's noteworthy boukenThis sake is a collaboration between Mr. Shimada, the brewer of Senrikyu, and two sake shops. This is the last one. Not only this sake, but also the sake brewed by Mr. Shimada himself is said to be sold out due to the brewery's circumstances.
I was not able to buy the draft version of this sake, but I was lucky enough to buy the fire-aged version, which was the last of three bottles when I went to the tasting 💦.
Made with Osaka-grown Yamadanishiki.
It has a very firm sweetness and acidity. It tastes fresh and fruit-like, not too much like a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast. It's a shame that this is the last bottle of Shimada-san's sake, as they are all very tasty.
I don't want to go into details, but I don't think I will ever drink Senrikyu again. boukenEven Sen no Rikyu would happily drink Shimada-san's sake if it were on the store shelves right now. ワカ太Hi bouken😃I also met Otona Keikaku the other day ‼️ with this and Aizan. It was still available at the liquor store in Sakai City at that time👍Otona Keikaku, it has a nice acidity 😋💕The Kofun labeled Bespoke was my favorite one ☝️ Rafa papaGood morning bouken 😃
There are adult things going on without our knowledge...I'm sure the secret agent knows all about it 🤣I wonder if Shimada-san will be making sake somewhere in the future... 🥲. boukenGood evening Mr. Wakata😃
I see you drank the Adult Project too 😍.
Kagaya didn't sell all of it, but left some of it to age and sell 😃Yes, I think the acidity is characteristic of this series 😋. boukenGood evening, Rafa 😃.
I think he knows what's going on, or rather he told me everything 🤫.
He is staying for the time being, but I think he will eventually go to a different warehouse 🫡. boukenThe toji, Chikara-san, said this was the best sake of the season.
The taste is sweet and expansive, with a sense of fullness. It is light all the way through. It is banana-like. The bitterness lingers moderately as an aftertaste.
The label is very Tsukuba-like.
I think it tastes sweeter on the second day than freshly opened. boukenThis was the best sake at the Tomekawa Sake Shop tasting.
So I brought it home with me.
I was told at the time of purchase that the rice was Hananishiki. It is as rich as it says, with a mild and gentle sweetness. I tried cold and warmed sake at the tasting, and it doesn't fall apart at any temperature. I prefer it at room temperature, but I think it is a versatile type of sake.
I drink it at room temperature without refrigeration, which is rare for me. ルテルテミHello bouken😄
I really enjoyed the flavor and mildness of this sake so much that I drank it with my son at home and it was empty right away 😆. boukenHi Lutemi 😃
They were the most popular at the tasting 😆.
It's a drink you could linger on and drink forever 🤣. boukenTomekawa Sake Shop Tasting Party 10
The sake level is lower than Harushika Super Dry, but the pungency is sharp.
It doesn't have the sharpness of Harushika, so the spiciness seems to be intervening all the time, which I personally don't like....
We arrived before 3:00 p.m. and realized it was 6:00 p.m. 😳.
The owner gave me a lift to the nearest station 🚗.
It's about a 10 minute walk but we got there in a couple of minutes🤣.
Thank you so much 🙇.
I also bought a bottle of Changlong rice lager.
It was fruity and delicious 😋.
I just took a picture, I didn't drink it at the station 🙄. boukenTomekawa Sake Shop Tasting ⑨.
Calm and beautifully dry?
I guess this is also suitable for warming up.
I've never had it myself, so I don't know about it, but it seems to be a different type from the usual Minami. I heard that Dewa Tsannyu is fruity and dry. They change the yeast used for Shiboritate.
I wrote that I've had Dewa Sanzu namaishu in the past 💦It does say dry and fruity 😅.
I was wondering why people in Kochi drink so much sake? I was wondering why people in Kochi drink so much sake, and he said it's because it goes well with fish.
I thought I'd like to try it with bonito tataki.
There was no rush of customers for the sake tasting, and the atmosphere was like a relaxed corner bar from start to finish 😁. boukenTomekawa Sake Shop Tasting Party 8
Super-harsh matured medium-bodied raw sake
It is not so spicy for its alcohol content and has a good sharpness.
I don't like to buy it, but I don't dislike it.
I also drank Junmai Namaisake from Uraharu Shika.
I've had it in the past and it's consistently good. ポンちゃんGood evening, bouken!
When I visited the brewery the other day, I was wondering if I should buy Uraharu Shika, although it might have been a different label 💦I would like to try Uraharu Shika, which you have always said is delicious 😊. boukenHi Ponchan 😃
I see it was sold at the Uraharu warehouse 😁I didn't see it when I went there 😅Few liquor stores carry it so when you find it is the best time to buy it 🤣. 兎御殿thank you for drinking the super-harsh Nakadori matured raw sake 🐰🎶 this year the matured flavor was especially strong 🥰I paired it with roasted ginkgo nuts with salt, the saltiness enhanced the flavor of the sake and I enjoyed the autumn flavors💕. boukenHello 🐰 bunny 🐰😃
I know it's not on the tasting menu, but the restaurant kindly allowed me to try it with Uraharu 😁.
I've tried a different product from the brewery before and it gave me a much better impression of super dryness 😆. boukenTomekawa Sake Shop Tasting Event (7)
There were a total of six paid tastings, but from this point on, the owner kindly allowed us to try several others.
The photo shows R3BY, but I was allowed to taste a sample of R4BY before its release.
It was very sweet and clean, and faded out quickly.
I was surprised at how delicious it was.
Urasato is also a good choice. boukenTomekawa Sake Shop Tasting Party (6)
When served cold, it tastes full of umami and thick. The acidity is impressive.
Heating it up makes it more like a heated sake that can be enjoyed by everyone.
Other people seemed to like Daishichi when it was heated.
Personally, I prefer it heated.
At this tasting
30ml 100yen
90ml for 300yen
Pretty reasonable, right? boukenTomekawa Sake Shop Tasting Event (5)
Sawanoi, which is not usually drunk very often.
When drunk cold, you can feel the sense of maturity rather well.
When heated, the sense of maturity disappears and the sake becomes flat and easy to drink.
While drinking this sake, the owner asked me what I thought of the aged aroma. We had a lot of discussion about it while drinking this sake. boukenTomekawa Sake Shop Tasting Event (4)
The one I liked the most at this tasting.
The rice is Hananishiki, Kumamoto's original sake rice.
It is not bad whether it is drunk cold, chilled or heated.
I like its firm sweetness. It's not tiring to drink, but it's gentle and goes in all the time.
I bought this one 😁. boukenTomekawa Sake Shop Tasting Event (3)
Yamadaho Hiyoroshi, the first release this year.
It is fruity and gorgeous enough when served cold, but the aroma and sweetness become more intense when heated.
We were talking about how it's a little bit rough when it's heated. ヤスベェGood evening, bouken 😀
I love the idea of comparing the different types of Yukino Kayasha 😀.
It's interesting that there are different types of hiyaoroshi and you can compare them 😀.
I would like to try Yamadaho's hiyaoroshi 😀. boukenHello Yasube-san ☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I didn't know until recently that Yuki no Kayasha has hiyaoroshi 💦Yamadaho and two other varieties are sold at a store called Takamura Wine in Edobori 😊This is in September, boukenI think it's still there since the sake turnover is so bad in this restaurant 😊. ヤスベェHi bouken 😃
I was a bit surprised to hear that they also have sake since I thought they specialize in wine 😅. boukenTomekawa Sake Shop Tasting (2)
This is the first time for me to taste Hiyayogoshi from Yukino Kayasha.
I think the rice was Akita Sake Komachi.
When drunk cold, it has a fruity taste that is typical of Snow Kayasha.
It is not too sweet, but everything is just right.
When heated up, it turns out to be quite good.
The flamboyance is withdrawn and it has the atmosphere of a heated sake. Interesting.
I heated it up to about 55 degrees Celsius and enjoyed the change from there. boukenTomekawa Sake Shop Tasting (1)
I went to a paid tasting by Tomegawa Sake Brewery, aka Kishiwada's crazy salad house.
Last time I arrived a little early and was the first one to arrive, but this time I was late and it was almost an hour later and I was still the first one to arrive 🤣.
This time, too, it was not a liquor store's choice, but a wholesaler's salesman's selection. Last time it was summer sake and this time it was hiyaoroshi.
I felt like I came here to meet him rather than to see the sake lineup!
I left the order of drinking to him.
There were 6 different kinds of sake, and I tried all of them both cold and hot!
The first was Choryu hiyaoroshi.
It was beautiful chilled and didn't have much of a hiyaoroshi feel.
When heated up, the sweetness and cleanness were pulled back, which was surprising. boukenThis is the third experimental brew. It is a low-alcohol, raw sake with a light taste but with a firm sweetness and drinkability. It has a light taste, but it is very sweet and drinkable. It has some unique nuances. It also has a slight greefiness.
As Manachie said, it has a spodriness in the second half. It's definitely better than Prototype 02.
As Rigel said, it doesn't lose its quality even if you drink it on the rocks.
I'll have to try it with ICE BOX! Wagaujiサングロウ 直汲み うすにごり純米大吟醸原酒生酒無濾過にごり酒発泡 boukenThe drink is limited to 5 stores nationwide.
One of the 5 stores is called Salad Pavilion 🤣.
I was curious about the Fog that Rigel was drinking, but was afraid to open it because of the crown, so I bought this one.
It's very fizzy and you have to be careful not to open the bottle. It's like a lemon sour with just the right amount of sweetness and dryness for a hot summer day.
This is another one that you have to be careful not to drink too much of.
It is better to finish it by the end of the day. The taste change is quite intense. boukenThe red label, which has been in the lineup for some time, was made with Yamadanishiki produced in Higashiosaka under the supervision of Tetsuji Shampoo Hat (only Kansai people would understand this 🙄 ), but this green label uses Yamadanishiki from Hineno, Izumisano City, where the brewery is located.
Unlike the dry red label, this one is said to be sweet.
It is fruity and light, with a gentle but not overpowering sweetness. There is a slight spiciness at the end. Although it is a pure sake, it is not heavy and easy to drink.
I think this may be my favorite of all the Shounosato sakes I've had so far. Rafa papagood evening bouken😃
I've never heard of this sake before 😅I see it's from Osaka 😊bouken I'd like to drink your most favorite sake... 😍 boukenGood evening Rafa 😃.
So-no-Sato sometimes comes to Kintetsu in Harukas, or you can find it in the Osaka sake section of Aeon 😁.
Osaka sake is also very tasty 😃. Buyuアイラブユー 直汲み純米吟醸原酒生酒無濾過 boukenI didn't know there was such a thing as a CWS in Valor😳.
I'm buying the jackets 😋.
Slightly slightly effervescent. Melon-like taste. A refreshing bitterness that is crisp and snappy.
Not as modern as the label suggests.
A bit like a classic melon soda?
The more you drink it, the more addictive it becomes. ポンちゃんHello bouken 🐌.
The relaxed 😺 is very nice 😊👍I love you is also stylish 😁I've never had a Takefu before so I'll give it a try with this delicious looking drink 🙄. Rafa papaHello bouken 😃
I understand the temptation to buy the jackets but they don't look delicious... 🤣 boukenGood evening, Ponchan😃.
The yuletide taste of the cat was my favorite 😻
The classic label Takeyuki I drank before also tasted like a rumney, so I wonder if it's a schwarziness overall? 🤔
It's delicious so please try it if you come across it🤗. boukenGood evening, Rafa 😃.
That's it - it's moderately tasty 🤣.
A little different, but maybe closer to dream heart in strain 😁. グラbouken Thanks for your help. I liked the taste of this a lot. I haven't had the regular Takeyoshi yet, so I will buy it when I see it. Rafa papaDelicious 😳⁉️I love you do 😏I'll buy it when I find it 😌. boukenThanks for your help, Gula 😁.
It was pretty melon-y and tasty 😆.
I almost miss the usual valor because the label is so plain 😅. boukenRafa, other reviews seem to be generally positive 😉.
If you're looking for regular valor, you can sometimes find it in the mountains of Ekimarche 😁. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
