As for ginjo-shu, there have been many high-quality products where the rich ginjo aroma and flavor harmonize greatly, with crisp aftertaste.
As for kan-shu (warmed sake), there have been many good-quality products to be served warm, having an adequate mature aroma and well-matched soft taste.
Regarding the brewing conditions, the rice ingredient was dissolved to an adequate degree. It was a year suitable for brewing sake, with the temperature dropping during the peak season of winter brewing.
Wonderful sake products were made under such favorable environment, with the sake brewing techniques accumulated by each brewer over a long period of time and the passion of those engaged in sake brewing exerted to the fullest extent.
13 breweries won prizes in the Ginjo-shu category, and 14 breweries won prizes in the Kan-shu category.
