Today I went to Umemiya-taisha Shrine and Matsuo-taisha Shrine in Kyoto, two of the three major sake shrines in Kyoto for Hatsumode (New Year's visit) 😀.
First, Umemiya-taisha shrine: ⛩️
The sake served here was by Gekkeikan 😀.
The sake we bought was from Sasaki Sake Brewery, which has re-labeled the label of their Jyugakudai sake exclusively for the shrine 😀.
I was thrilled because I had just recently had a Shuwakimaseri featuring the main deity of the shrine, Shuwakimaseri 😇.
Next, Matsuo-taisha shrine: ⛩️
It was bigger and had more worshippers than Umemiya-taisha, but still less crowded than other shrines in Kyoto 😇🙏.
The sake is poured from a barrel for 200 yen when you buy a 1,000-yen barrel, and the barrels were owned by Kizakura and Kozutsumi 😇.
The barrels were from Kizakura and Kozutsumi. We purchased two masu to commemorate the occasion and had both of them poured. The aroma of the wood was very fresh and the taste of the sake was more delicious than the sake we usually drink 😀.
We experienced the New Year with sake: ㊗️

Hello, Yasube-san.
I can only say that paying a visit to the sake god for the first time in the new year is just quintessential ✨.
Pouring sake into a sake barrel is also very atmospheric 😊.

Happy New Year, Yasube-san!
I see you came to Kyoto!
Fushimi Inari, Heian Shrine, Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, etc. are famous for Hatsumode in Kyoto, but I'm a drunk 😰, Matsuo Taisha, and Umemiya Taisha 😊.
I'm looking forward to seeing you again this year 🙇.

Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😀.
After all, the New Year is the first visit to the God of Sake. ⛩️
Since I have already visited 2 shrines in Kyoto, I will go to Shoreki-ji Temple on the 11th for the Bodhi Hashimoto Sake Festival and then to Ogami-sha Shrine to complete my visit to the 3 major sake deities😇.

Happy New Year, Ao: ㊗️
I look forward to seeing you again this year 🙇.
Probably the famous temples and shrines in Kyoto will be in trouble, so I decided to visit the sake god 🤣.
But thanks to you, I was able to visit slowly ⛩️

Good evening, Yasubey🦉.
You are a true lover of drinking, visiting two sake gods 🥹✨I couldn't make it for New Year's, but I would love to visit you 🙏especially Umemiya-san, which I haven't been to!
I'm sure you'll have lots of good things to do this year 😆👍

Hi, Pon 😀
It seems that there are quite a few worshippers in Kyoto, so I was able to enjoy a relaxing sake in the precincts of the temple, so it was a good Hatsumode 😇.
On the 11th, we are planning to go from the Bodhi Hashimoto Sake Festival at Shoreki-ji Temple to visit the Ojinja Shrine 😀.
