Hop BroThis weekend, Ogose Brewery's tasting sale is coming to Koedo Kurari in Kawagoe. On April 18 and 19 at Kikizake-dokoro Showagura, there will be paid tastings and special sales. That's pretty exciting, right?
MugiWhat! You can compare drinks in Kawagoe? Just hearing "weekend-only event" makes me want to go so badly my feet are getting restless!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is really good too. There's SASANAMI LIMITED EDITION 01 Junmai Ginjo Nama Genshu, Biwa no Sasanami Ringo-jirushi Sparkling, Suteki na Yuzushu Maximum, and even the newly released CRAFT LAB -Strawberry- strawberry liqueur.
MugiWhat is that! "Nama Genshu" sounds intense just from the name alone, but what does it mean?
Hop BroGood question. An unfiltered, unpasteurized undiluted sake tends to keep its aroma and umami more intact, and because it is lightly handled with minimal heat treatment and no dilution, that freshly pressed character remains more vivid.
MugiWow! Then the fun of the tasting comparison must be huge. Sake, sparkling drinks, yuzu liquor, strawberry liquor - they all sound like they have totally different personalities!
Hop BroExactly. Ogose Brewery is a brand of Asahara Shuzo, and its strength is locally rooted brewing. They don't just make sake; they also produce local beer and local wine, so their range is really broad.
MugiWait, beer, wine, and sake all at once? That's way too broad a field. They're basically the general trading company of drinking!
Hop BroAnd the venue, Koedo Kurari, is a perfect match for a stroll around Kawagoe. It's easy to turn into "have a drink while sightseeing," so even a spontaneous stop should be fun.
MugiThat's dangerous. It sounds like the kind of place that's too fun to leave! If they even have the new strawberry liquor, people who like sweet drinks will definitely be hooked.
Hop BroIn the end, events like this are a weekend treat. If you can enjoy limited-edition drinks and new releases all in one place, then there's nothing to do but go and drink.
MugiYep, it's decided for today! I want to go toast in Kawagoe now, so let's head out and do some tasting!
