Today I took a little trip to Ako 😀 My main purpose was to visit Oishi Shrine, a Shinto and Buddhist sacred site in the ruins of Ako Castle.
My first goal was to get a red seal at Oishi Shrine, a sacred place for gods and Buddha, located in the ruins of Ako Castle, and my second goal was to visit Okufuji-san, a sake brewery in Sakagoe, a neighborhood of Ako famous for its oysters 😀.
After successfully getting a red seal at Oishi Shrine, we walked about 16 kilometers to Okufuji-san while looking at the Seto Inland Sea 😀 We were given a tasting at the brewery.
After having a tasting at the brewery, we went to a restaurant right in front of the brewery and had a set of sake tasting while eating 😀 The most delicious was this Chushin.
Especially delicious was this Chushingura 47 Cattle Set 😀.
It is a junmai ginjo made from 47% Yamadanishiki, which was polished to match the 47 samurai in the Chushingura story.
Yesterday I declared that I would not buy any sake for the time being, but today we ended up buying this sake and a bottle of Otome Nama Sake, a limited edition sake from the brewery, as souvenirs for ourselves 🤣.
I'm glad I got permission from the wife 😇.

Good morning Yasbaye 😃
If you go far to the brewery, you can't not buy the sake 😊 so you make a lot of excuses and pretend the declaration never happened... 😁 you are a convicted criminal when you go to a place where you are forced to buy sake 🤣.

Hello, Wakata 😀
The town of Ako, Ako Castle and Oishi Shrine are wonderful places, but the old streets around the sake brewery in Sakagoe are also wonderful, so please visit there😇.
In winter, the oysters are definitely delicious 🙆♂️

Hi Rafa papa 😀
Originally, I and Orin shared the same hobby of visiting temples and shrines and hiking in the mountains, but recently we look for sake breweries nearby when we do our preliminary research on a map 🤣.
Please let me accompany you again on your sake brewery tour in Hokusetsu 🙇.
