Kyoto is said to have been a prosperous sake brewing area since as far back as the Muromachi period (1336-1573). The soft water from the climate produces sake with a rich flavor that symbolizes the ancient capital.
In this issue, we would like to introduce some of the most impressive sake from Kyoto with cute packaging that you can't help but pick up. They are good as a reward for yourself or as a souvenir.
With 360 years of history, "balladeer』
Tamanomitsu" is a sake brewery with a 360-year history that continues to aim for sake that never gets old. Among them, "Manekitsune" is a popular souvenir from Fushimi, especially among women.
The white fox designed on the package is cute and seems to invite good fortune.
In addition, Tamanomitsu's "Kyo-no-Umeshu," made with junmai ginjo sake, is a noteworthy product.
The simple packaging and the frosted glass-like surface of the bottle are very stylish. The subtle aroma of plum and the sharpness typical of Japanese sake create a refreshing taste.
The award-winning "Theriver running between Tokyo-to and Kanagawa Prefecture』
Tamagawa" from "Kinoshita Sake Brewery," which is also popular overseas, focuses on the way sake changes with time and temperature. Highly harmonious, Tamagawa sake is also popular as a food sake.
The best of all is "Ice Breaker," a refreshing blue bottle with an eye-catching penguin package.
What a surprise! It is recommended to drink it on the rocks. Sake lovers and connoisseurs tend to avoid drinking sake on the rocks because, unlike whiskey and shochu, sake tastes lighter on the rocks.
However, Tamagawa's sake is unique in that its flavor changes in proportion to the temperature and alcohol content, which change with the melting of the ice. Because of this feature, it is favored by both men and women alike as a summer drink. In addition, "Ice Breaker" in the product name means in Japanese to soften the mood of the place, so it is likely to stimulate conversation around the sake.
