Niigata Prefecture, ii hours exterior of Tokyo, is regarded equally the motherlode of premium Japanese rice wine.

It is from this percentage that the really best sake are produced, thank you lot inwards business office to the stiff mutual depression temperature winters, delicious mount water, and abundant rice fields.

Over 80,000 visitors showed upward this yr equally final years Sake no Jin was cancelled due to 3-11. This was a large comeback yr for the manufacture equally a whole with over ninety of the best sake producers inwards the world, each amongst their ain special jizake / local sake. There was fifty-fifty a sake brewer from Texas!? It is past times far the largest sake fair I accept always attended together with I accept attended quite a few over the years, fifty-fifty earlier moving to Japan. It was really an amazing sense together with plow out. Live bands played together with entertained the throngs of sake lovers. I myself was inwards heaven, patently of course. Electricity was all inwards the air.
Fuji Shuzo "Niigata happens to live the abode town of Rumi Takahashi a famous manga artist. Fuji Shuzo honored this legendary adult woman amongst a sake/liquer *? inspired past times Lum."
- I institute this data out on a tweet which Pb to a site called Crunchrll[*?] on the 17th, thence when I arrived at the fair I headed at nowadays for the Fuji Shuzo tabular array together with sampled its offerings. Chocolate liqueur ...? Quite flavorsome, sweet, and.... demure....*? Would recommend it for amusement purposes only. Fuji Shuzo sake is legendary together with I highly recommend their existent rice brews. Rather than listing upward the sake past times cite or explicate the history, merely know that quite a few were brewed solely for this event, together with are non together with volition non live sold.
While at that topographic point I ran into the Sakeguy past times jeopardy together with nosotros chatted it upward for a bit. I suspect he was headed over to the sake challenge past times the Kikiate Game Corner. I had to maintain on amongst my blood to sake transfusion.
- As the afternoon wore on the sake seemed endless. Every tabular array had a unique offering amongst all of my master favorites here.
- One sake brewer to hold off out for this spring, together with 1 that I'd similar to particularly recommend is Echigo Ofuku Masumune. All of their Junmai Ginjo's are excellent. The sake fairs I accept attended inwards the past times were drinking events that lasted for a brusque time. This outcome was huge together with it was prissy because you lot could buy delicious food together with sake, sit down downwards at a tabular array to gulp yourself to oblivion. If you lot hold off off nigh the escalators you lot tin dismiss all the same come across people funneling inwards from the start floor. It was 4 o'clock. The sake fair was scheduled until 5pm.
I chatted it upward amongst this guy together with that's why I had the shakes. When I was standing inwards business amongst this guy he was looking all serious together with medico like, but past times the fourth dimension he got a few sake downwards the hatch he looked similar this, summation he was talking inwards sakebonics, something solely us sake drinkers tin dismiss understand.
