Today is my day off, so my wife and I are in Kyoto for a sake brewery tour.
I saw a post by Sake no Wa about visiting a kamizo (a sake brewery) and thought it was close to Demachiyanagi area.
We decided to visit a brewery in Fushimi as well.
We originally planned to go from Demachiyanagi to Fushimi, but we had to stop at Tambabashi due to a train accident, so we started from Fushimi.
Although we could not visit the brewery, we first saw the massive exterior of the Matsumoto Sake Brewery and then went to the nearby Kitagawa Honke Brewery.
This was our first visit to the brewery.
Kitagawa Honke's Tomio.
This time, we tasted three kinds of sake and took home two small bottles.
The Junmai Daiginjo, which is sold by weight, was poured into bottles on the spot, which was a very exciting experience.
This post is about the remaining bottle (the one on the far right).
Probably an alcohol-added daiginjo according to the description.
First, the aroma. The aroma is not very pleasant.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a refreshing sweetness and a beautiful mouthfeel that you would not expect from an alcohol-added sake.
It was very tasty and very satisfying to drink.
However, my wife was a little uncomfortable when she felt the alcohol was too strong, so we gave up on taking it home.
All of the sakes were very refreshing and tasty with a straightforward taste.
After enjoying Tomiou, we moved on to Fujioka Sake Brewery in Aozora.

Hello, ma-ki-chan!
A weekday date with a couple in Kyoto in late autumn✨
I wish I could make a tour like that 😁.
I'm curious about "Tomio" as I haven't had the "Daiginjo" spec yet 🍶, the Kyoto sake that I first found to be to my liking!

Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama.
I'm the wife who is forced to go out with me even though it's called a date 💧.
But she seemed to enjoy it and I was very satisfied with the day ✨.
The sake in Kyoto was delicious too 😊.

Thank you for your comment, Gyve.
I went to Kyoto and my wife took me on a tour of the brewery without doing any sightseeing 💧.
It was my first time to try Tomiou and it was a direct sake that I could see why it tasted so good😊.

Good evening, ma-ki 😃.
I'm so jealous of your Kyoto sake brewery tour ✨✨.
It's exciting to see sake, isn't it?
I don't have enough experience with Kyoto sake, so I'll be referring to this 😊.

Thank you for your comment, soumacho.
It was my first time to visit Kyoto sake breweries too and it was really exciting: ⤴️
I didn't have many chances to drink sake in Kyoto, so it was even more fun 🎵.
If you have a chance, please do 😊.
