おっHow about ...?
Citrusy, melon-like, candy-like, still smelling of alcohol? Numb on the tongue, slightly sweet, full of flavor. Delicious. I like it.
Purchased at a sake brewery. Or rather, you can only buy it at the sake brewery.
The brewery is located in downtown Matsumoto.
The management changed this year and they have changed their focus from traditional sake to junmai (pure rice) sake. Expectations for the future.
It is really recent, so the pamphlet and website are not ready yet, but they have opened an Instagram page, so please check it out.
You can buy on Saturdays and Sundays if you call in advance. Even if it is locked and you can't get through on the phone, you can still buy it if you persistently attack. おっHow about ...?
Aroma of rice. A little strong, 17 degrees. When it is cooled down well, it tastes good after drinking. I like the sweetness that comes out when it gets close to room temperature.
Purchased at a sake brewery.
The area is called Uramachi, east side of Matsumoto Castle. The name may sound strange, but it is a very safe town. There is a big aeon nearby, across the Otoba River.
When you enter the store, you will be seated and offered a tasting by a chatty proprietress.
In front of the brewery, there is a spring named "Onna-Toba-no-Spring" where you can freely draw water. Of course, sake is made with this water.
In Matsumoto city center, there are water springs all over the place and you can drink as much as you want. The spring in Onna-Toba is one of them. It is really appreciated during the hot season.
Especially in the vicinity of Matsumoto Castle, there are many springs in front of the station and on Nakamachi-dori Street, so tourists should definitely try them.
My personal favorite is Tai Man's Well. とーちゃんSince I came to Matsumoto
Visiting Zenya Sake Brewery
With the owner's pleasant guidance
I enjoyed tasting all of them!
I couldn't taste all of them
I couldn't taste them all, so I took some home with me. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
