Last month, I had to work two days in a row in Gifu and finished at noon, so I had some free time in the afternoon of the first day. I thought, "Why not visit a sake brewery?
But Hida Takayama is too far away. I told them that I hadn't decided yet. I told them, "You could go to Ogaki. It's pretty close, and it's called the "water city," and it's the season for mizu-manju, or water buns.
Okay, that's what I'll do! And off to Ogaki we go!
We went to two sake breweries, visited Ogaki castle and museum, took a walk along the river (moat), and ate water manju.
At the Takeuchi Sake Brewery in Ogaki, I was allowed to sample 4 different kinds of sake and finally drank the one I bought 💕 sweet first love.
The one I liked best in the tasting was the raw sake, but I had to give it up because I had to work in Gifu the next day too. I didn't have the courage to ask them to put it in the hotel fridge that night, but in the fridge at the customer's office the next day😅.
When I drank it, it was sweet and sour.
The name of the drink is "sweet first love" but sweet? It tastes more like sweet and sour 😝First love? It tastes like first love 💔.
Refreshing, low alcohol 11 degrees, juice-like?
This one goes down smoothly 🥳.
Ogaki's photo is an added bonus too!

Hi Takashi 🐦.
Yes, I know, I can't buy fresh sake if I have something to do the next day! I can't buy fresh sake if I have something to do the next day - especially in summer ☀️ I've given up crying 😢 but you've been to two breweries and also a castle! I'm so jealous 😻

Good evening, Pon😊.
I'm not taking a cooler bag on a business trip...which is the main thing! I know 🤣.
But it was fun 😝 to go sightseeing and shopping in a city I've never been to 🥰.
