THE CALENDER BIWAKO TOURISM is a standing drinking space that opened on November 29 at JR Otsu Station in Shiga Prefecture.
It is an empty space at the first floor entrance to the restaurant of the hotel "Calendar" where souvenirs from Shiga Prefecture are sold and Omi sake from Shiga Prefecture is served on servers.
We caught wind of it through the information network of Kansai Sake-no-Wawa people and tried it out 😊.
When you order, you receive a coin at the cash register, choose your own sake cup, and pour your choice of any of the 16 sakes on the server.
The price is quite reasonable at 350 yen for a 45 ml cup and 1000 yen for a 3-sake drinking comparison 🉐.
I tried the sake comparison.
I started with the Asahi Nikkohi, a freshly squeezed junmai dry sake, as it is the season for new sake.
It is said to be a special junmai sake.
The aroma is fresh and alcoholic.
The aroma is slightly vinegary and clear.
The rice aroma is about that of white dumplings.
The texture is very smooth.
The sweetness is very light and refreshing.
The acidity is very crisp.
The fresh tingling sensation that is typical of new sake comes in, and the alcohol finishes with a light dryness.
It was a dry new sake, typical of Omi sake, which did not betray our expectations of what Shiga sake and new sake should be.

Good evening, Aladdin 😃You are always visiting good restaurants with a high antenna. I'd like to visit Asahiichi once, but I can't seem to find it. It seems to be a taste for experts and professionals, but I hear it is delicious 🤤.

Good morning, studying 😃.
I'm learning a lot from all of you well-informed people in Kansai Sake no Wawa too: ☺️
I almost mistake Asahi for Asahi Sake Brewery in Shimane 😅.
It is fresh, moderately dry and delicious!

Gyve, good evening 😃It's cold 🥶.
I went there as soon as possible😄.
By the way, in celebration of the opening, until next February, it's 700 yen for 3 sakes with a one-time coupon per person only 😁.
The photo problem is the only thing that bothers me as a sakewa 😔.

Good evening, Pon 😃.
Sorry to have disturbed you 😁
They have food but you can easily use it just for drinks ☺️
The waitresses are friendly and they would probably give you a bottle from the server if you ask 📷I couldn't ask that much 😅.
