パーム農家
This was the end of our three-day, two-night trip to conquer Niigata's sake. The 86 sake breweries in the Ponshu-kan have all been consumed. Unfortunately, there was one brewery that stopped brewing sake, so the total number of breweries was 86.
I was afraid that I would get tired of writing detailed specifications and impressions, so I took pictures of the minimum number of breweries and the comments from the Ponshu-kan. I was surprised at how accurate these comments were.
My overall impression was that there were many alcoholic sakes that were suitable for warming up, and that many of them were a waste to drink cold.
