At a presentation and tasting of product ideas from young breweries in Ibaraki Prefecture
One of the four participating breweries
Sake with the theme of effective use of thinned wood
Junmai sake made from 70% polished Hitachi-Nishiki rice
Soak wood chips from thinning for a few days to add aroma to the sake and drink it while feeling the forest.
Ibaraki's forest, hence Ibafore.
It's a groundbreaking idea.
They sell it as a set with sake and a piece of wood.
You can enjoy two kinds of sake, one made from cypress and the other from cedar.
The one served this day was soaked for 3 days.
It has more than enough aroma.
The smell of cedar and hinoki is very obvious!
The cedar is more fruity and refreshing.
The cypress has a nice aroma that blends well with the sake.
Both are refreshing and light to drink.
Unexpectedly interesting project
Guest Shinya Tasaki commented, "I think it will be a hit at hot spring resorts.
I would like to buy a set and drink it while enjoying the difference in aroma.
