I discovered Sakai's local sake at a standing bar in Osaka Honmachi. Sakai City is my hometown, but I didn't know it had local sake. I did some research and found out that Sakai City has a long history of sake production, and there were nearly 100 breweries in the Meiji era (1868-1912). However, they all went out of business in the middle of the Showa era, and it was only a few years ago that the Sakaiizumi Sake Brewery was established.
We visited the brewery, which has now been renamed the Rikyu Brewery. From the outside, it looks more like a small factory than a sake brewery. However, you can tell from the tank and the cedar balls that it is a sake brewery.
They also sell directly to the public, and today I bought a basic junmai sake with 70% rice polishing ratio and drank it at home.
It's a great sake that gives you the full flavor of the rice. Thanks for the treat😊!
