We visited a sake brewery last week. Deep in the mountains of Nakatsugawa. Even the car navigation system was lost.
I called in advance and was given a tour of the brewery because it was a day when the brewer was managing the warehouse. The brewery is handmade with old-fashioned (and dilapidated) equipment and produces less than 50 koku (50 koku = 5,000 sachets) of sake. We were very grateful for the sake.
I was told that the sake was sold by the previous generation in the main house, but I could not buy it because he was not home, so I bought it at the nearest store (30 minutes away by car).
I thought that the pop-up sign in the store was promoting Yamauchi Sake Brewery, but it turned out that the owner of the store is a toji (master brewer), so they have a close relationship with the company.
The owner of the store is a toji (master brewer), and I was told that he was the one who started to rebuild Yamauchi Brewery, which was about to go out of business. I am grateful for and respect his enthusiasm. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
