〜Fujii Honke Sake Brewery Tour
Tour of the East Brewery, designated as a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan.
Mr. Tetsuya Fujii, the 7th generation head of the family, personally guided us around the brewery. He was tall and slender, and when he and my mother, who is petite, stood side by side, the difference in height made me wince.

The zelkova building is used as a store and event hall.
The first thing you see when visiting the main Fujii house is a massive zelkova building designed by Shizuko Fujii, the sixth generation head of the Fujii family, with a store on the first floor and a spacious hall on the second floor, which is used as a venue for cultural and artistic presentations such as concerts.

Harmonious taste with umami of rice. Can be paired with a variety of dishes.
Asahi" is made from rice and spring water of Shiga Prefecture.
The Fujii family brewery is located in Shiga Prefecture, which is blessed with high-quality spring water suitable for sake brewing. The water is soft and low in iron content, which makes it possible to produce sake with a mild taste.
In addition, there are rice paddies around Lake Biwa where high-quality rice suitable for sake brewing is grown. For generations, the Fujii family has insisted on locally grown rice, and "Asahi Sun" uses "Tamasakae" and "Ginfubuki" rice grown by contract farmers in the prefecture using low amounts of pesticides and fertilizers.
The taste is as elegant and free of clutter as the clear, open sky. This sake has an elegant ginjo aroma and a robust rice flavor.

A short trip to Shiga Prefecture to celebrate my mother's 77th birthday.
We went to Fujii Honke for a tour of the sake brewery.
An elderly man with a great love for sake guided us around the brewery.
He let us hold a cedar ball, which my mother was very happy to see because it was much heavier than she had expected. We were also allowed to drink the brewing water and taste various kinds of sake, but when I took a sip of this sake, I felt a strong sensation in my nose! When I took a sip of this sake, it was like a sharp taste on my nose? Or was it too dry? I thought it was too mature sake. However, when I drank it a second time after some time had passed, I felt a refreshing sensation in my mouth with a hint of sweetness without any cloying taste. I thought I was not good at this type of sake, but I could honestly say that it was delicious. I purchased it and had sake lovers drink it. Everyone was very pleased with the taste.
The strength of the alcohol was a bit of an issue for me, but there is no doubt that it is a delicious drink. Once you get used to the alcohol, you may not mind the initial strength.
It is a special pure rice, so it is very smooth. The aroma is also very refreshing, but I thought it was gorgeous. However, this is where I begin to lament as a "downer. The alcohol content is 18 degrees, too high. I was worried about the alcohol,
Is there any correlation between the taste and alcohol content of sake? There are some sakes that taste like this and wish the alcohol was lower. Is it possible to design such a sake? I don't think there is a demand for it, but it would be a great design for sake fans who don't like the taste of sake,

Drinking in Izumo on a business trip
Local sake from the Asahi Sake Brewery in the shopping arcade.
I ordered this sake because it is only available in this area. It has a freshness like fruit sake, but it also has a strong flavor with a slight ooze, and I ended up having another glass.
