Located at the foot of Mt. Koya and closely associated with Kobo Daishi, the brewery began making "Hannya-yu" about half a century ago. Since the Buddha forbade drinking alcohol, it is said that people refrained from drinking alcohol openly and called it "Hannya-yu wo osuke" ("to drink Hannya-yu").

At a famous oden restaurant in Osaka
Hot sake served in a tin cup
Is it customary for oden restaurants in Osaka, such as Takobai, to serve hot sake in a tin cup? I'm looking for information.
Notes.
Alcohol content: 16%.
Sake degree: +6 degrees
It has a thick, slightly sweet first taste, but the aftertaste is crisp and dry. However, it is not super.

Mellowed by drinking it in a tin. It has a refreshing taste that does not interfere with meals.

It has a complex and pleasant taste with a touch of sweetness on the palate, followed by a touch of sourness. It tastes like young muscat.
We enjoyed it with oden.

This sake is a dessert sake and is made from fresh fruit itself. After the sweet taste, it goes down the throat with a refreshing sourness. It tastes fruity, like strawberries. I would like to go there just as if it were an after-dinner dessert, chilled.
Purchased as a souvenir when sightseeing in Lake Tazawa, Akita.

It has a crisp and refreshing carbonation at the beginning, followed by a mellow and fruity finish. It is best enjoyed chilled in summer as an aperitif.
