Echigo-Kenshin SAKE Festival 2024①
I entered the festival around noon on Saturday. At the entrance, you pay 3,000 yen for one day of tasting and receive a cup of sake and a wristband.
This year there were 27 tastings and 21 sake breweries. The price of the tasting went up from last year, but the number of participants decreased and the amount of sake tasting increased. I think the price is appropriate to some extent, as we are all in the same boat.
The weather forecast was for heavy rain in the afternoon due to a passing front, so we dashed to 🏃➡️ before the rain started.
The first one was Daiichi Sake Brewery. Yamama is limited to special dealers, so they can't offer it at the event.
All of them are delicious with a strong taste of rice😄The special price was 2,000 yen for all four types of Junmai Ginjo to Daiginjo, which were sold only at the event. I promised to go back to the second store later to buy some more.
The pamphlet became squishy due to heavy rain later 😭.
Jay & Nobby, here too 😃.
I saw your post, I was wondering if you are Saito? I was wondering, but I see you're in Chiba. I brought a bottle of Daiginjo with me and will open a bottle sometime 😉.
Just 1,000 yen Senbero time at my favorite standing bar: ✌️
I'll have a warmed up size Koshinoshirotori with cold sake 🍶.
Happy to drink in the daytime 🥰!
