Next, after paying a visit to Kasama Inari, we went to Sasame Sohei Shoten. We then went to a soba (buckwheat noodle) restaurant on the street in front of the gate and had a glass of Sasame Sohei Shoten's Shoroku along with their specialty Soba Inari. The menu said it was simply local sake, but it was, of course, Shoroku.

Some time ago, on my way back from a pottery shopping trip to Kasama, I bought this bottle at a roadside station. Named Kasamashiko, it is one of a set of three sake bottles from Kasama and Mashiko.
It is a light and easy to drink sake.

I saw some sake when I visited the Kasama Inari shrine, so I bought some to try 💰 I didn't know that was the brewery in the first place!
Funaguchi reminded me of Kikusui for a moment, but that was Funaguchi...
I guess the meaning is almost the same?
Nice to meet you Sasame Sohei Shoten!
I opened the bottle right away 😊...it's delicious😊.
Tastes like muscat with a refreshing sourness
Quite my favorite taste!
Thank you for your hospitality 🎉.
Shoroku Junmai Ginjo from Sasame Sohei Shoten, the third and final bottle of Kasama sake purchased in Kasama during the May holidays.
Chilled in the refrigerator before opening.
It is an easy-drinking sake with a moderate alcohol content followed by a hint of sweetness.
It is not too spicy, yet not too sweet either. It is a sake with just the right depth of nostalgia, so you can't help but finish the sake.
