Nishinoseki and Ohyama Sake Tasting

Nishinoseki and Ohyama Sake Tasting

It’s a first for us this Saturday at the shop.  We’ll not only be pouring sake from TWO different breweries, Kayashima Brewery and Ohyama Brewery, but we’ll also have the pleasure of hosting representatives from BOTHbreweries, Mr. Kayashima, the President of Nishinoseki and Mr. Kato, the son of the President of Ohyama.

From Oita prefecture in the Southern part of Japan, Mr. Kayashima will be featuring two of his sake, his Tokubetsu Junmai and Junmai Ginjo.  His Junmai will be served both chilled and warm.  From the Northern prefecture of Yamagata, Mr. Kato will be pouring three of his sake including his recently released seasonal Hiyaoroshi sake for Autumn.  Suffice it to say you won’t want to miss this one, it should be a blast!

Here is the lineup for this Saturday.   

Nishinoseki Tokubetsu Junmai

NISHINOSEKI
“CHAMPION OF THE WEST”
Tokubetsu Junmai
Rich type.  Creamy aroma harmonized with nuts, grain and sweet flower.  Mild savory flavor is balanced nicely with acidic flavor.  Texture is very soft.  We’ll be drinking this one cold and warm.

Nishinoseki Bigin

NISHINOSEKI
“BIGIN”
Junmai Ginjo
Flavorful and rich type.  Ripe fruit aromas with a touch of caramel and chocolate.  Expansive mild and savory flavors with a dry finish.

Ohyama Tokubetsu Junmai

OHYAMA
“BIG MOUNTAIN”
Tokubetsu Junmai
Light and smooth with clean aromas of fruit and grain. This sake has a round mild sweetness that is nicely balanced with a pleasant acidity.  Finishes dry and crisp.

Ohyama Fu-in

 OHYAMA FU-IN
“SEALED SAKE”
Junmai Ginjo
Some of you who have tried Tsukasabotan’s Fu-in might be doing a double take right now.  Ohyama Fu-in looks just like Tsukasabotan but it comes in a red bag instead of a black one.  This Ohyama Fu-in sake and Tsukasabotan’s Fu-in are custom sake made ONLY for Japan Prestige Sake Association.

Ohyama Hiyaoroshi

OHYAMA
“HIYAOROSHI”
Tokubetsu Junmai
Elegant aroma of pear, harmonized with savory aroma of rice, medium dry sake with round flavor of koji rice and clean finish.  We sampled this a few weeks ago for the first time and really enjoyed it.

So please join us this Saturday for our dual brewery sake tasting with Nishinoseki and Ohyama.  Pick something up for Thanksgiving or start your Christmas shopping a little early.
