I learned a lot here. Just what I remember,,
(1) Delicious sake
Barrel sake, sake made from sake barrels, sake yeast
2) Miscellaneous knowledge 1: Barrel ship
Barrel ships were born in the Edo period (1603-1867). The quality of Nada sake was so high that shipping from Osaka to Edo was described as "going down to Edo. Good sake fetches a high price in Edo. Sake that cannot be taken to Edo remains in Osaka as "sake that does not go down to Edo. The expression "sake that is not good enough" is said to have come from here. Tarumawase-bune, a ship dedicated to the transportation of sake, was created to maintain and improve the value of sake. The two-week voyage was optimal from the standpoint of freshness and maturity.
Miscellaneous 2) Cedar barrels
Craftsmen still make cedar barrels, which are valuable because the number of barrels made per day is limited.
