This weekend I am going to Tokyo to meet with a sake expert; I want to give him a bottle of high quality sake from Osaka. So I went to Inada Sake Shop and not only found a great present but also the Foo Fighters sake that I have looking for since its debut in 2021!

Katano Sakura Junmai Ginjo Nama Genshu Super Dry and
Foo Fighters×TATENOKAWA JUNMAIDAIGINJO HANSHO Blue

Inada Sake Shop is over 90 years old and has a great selection of sake. They also have a small tachinomiya next door. On Saturday in the late afternoon, the place was packed (12 customers or so) and very lively. Lots of great sake, oden and other food, too.

About the sake I bought as a present for _________:

Katano Sakura Junmai Ginjo Nama Genshu Super Dry (720ml)


Characteristics:

Low-temperature fermented Ginjo brewed junmai unprocessed sake. A refreshing dry sharpness and a powerful flavor unique to raw unprocessed sake. It has a strong personality and flavor that is worth drinking. Although it is raw sake, you can enjoy its unique charm not only cold but also hot.

Kuramoto Yamano Sake Brewery:

In the Heian period, Katano no Sato was loved by aristocrats as a place to play in the fields such as picking cherry blossoms. This area, blessed with the clear waters of the Amano River and the fertile fields that spread across its basin, gave birth to many sake brewers during the Edo period. Inheriting that history and tradition, we are working hard to create a sake brewery with a ``bloomy'' atmosphere that resembles cherry blossoms.
