🍶 Sample a variety of traditional local sakes in store 🍷
This brewery offers a wide variety of local sakes 🍶, including "Hida no Hana" and the aged "Suio," allowing you to enjoy the unique aromas and flavors of each one. ✨ From refreshing flavors that reflect the brewer's commitment to quality to rich, full-bodied varieties, I was so engrossed in the tasting that I lost track of time. 😋
🥂 Tastings allow you to take your time and feel the "brewery atmosphere" as you make your selection. 🪙
At the tasting corner, you can sample a little at a time, just like the brewery itself. 👌. Each brand has a distinct flavor, so it was fun to find one that caught my eye. 🍾✨. It's great to be able to stop by during your sightseeing and experience the flavors nurtured by the local culture. 😊
🏠 A relaxing atmosphere in a quaint old-fashioned home. 🪑
The interior retains its original charm, allowing you to immerse yourself in the brewery atmosphere. 🍂. Taking a break here between walks around Hida town was a wonderful way to add a little something extra to your sightseeing. ✨ The staff were friendly and patiently answered any questions I had, which left a good impression.😊
🚶♂️ A great location to combine with sightseeing in Takayama.📍
It's within walking distance of Takayama Station, so it's a great way to combine it with touring the surrounding old townscape and other sake breweries.🏙️. I think strolling around while immersed in the background and history of sake brewing allows you to enjoy the unique culture and flavors of Hida even more deeply.🍶💫
