Today we will take a walk around the sake brewery in Itami.
Itami Morohaku has been designated as a Japanese Heritage site,
It seems to be the centerpiece of Itami tourism.
There are two sake breweries, Konishi Shuzo and Itami Laosho, near Hankyu Itami Station.
There are two sake breweries, Konishi Shuzo and Itami Laosho, near Itami Station on the Hankyu Line.
We took a walk from the Itami City Museum of Art to Konishi and then to Old Pine.
First, we went to Konishi Shuzo.
For 100 yen, you can try 6 kinds of sake.
After tasting 5 kinds, I was asked curiously why I removed one kind. It didn't make sense 💧.
Itami Morohaku was my favorite ^ ^.
Then we went to Old Pine.
When we entered the store, we saw customers leaving 200 yen on the counter and having the store staff pour a paper cup full of sake and walk away.
I looked closer and saw that the tasting was limited to Saturdays and Sundays, and for 200 yen you could sample 150 ml of three different types of sake! So, I tasted the first shibori.
It has a mild and smooth taste.
It has a refreshing acidity and a savory sweet taste. It has a rich and mellow taste with a strong rice flavor.
But it has a fine, fizzy bitterness and a piquant spiciness that leaves a refreshing aftertaste.
However, the alcohol content of 19-20% is too high, making it a dangerous lunchtime drink.
Next to the restaurant, well water is served free of charge,
There was always a long line of people waiting to get in!
It was hard to take pictures of unattended.
Well, it was an interesting sightseeing tour of Itami ^ ^ ^.

Good evening, Pon-chan. It was nice to explore Itami in a compact way. It was interesting to see an old Japanese house connected to an art museum, and there were many stylish sake cups in the craft store there 😊.

Good evening, Tsubu-chan. Itami has a strong image of an airport, but surprisingly, sightseeing was also interesting 😊You should explore various places even in the neighborhood.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby. It was fun sightseeing in Itami. It seems that Laematsu doesn't produce their own sake, but the tasting was a great experience. Konishi Sake Brewery has a restaurant and other attractive shops besides the direct sales shop✨.
