Yamaguchi Sake Festival on return to Shimonoseki ③.
Visiting sake breweries on foot (7)
On the second morning of my second day back home, I took the JR train to Asa in Sanyo Onoda City, which is next to Shimonoseki, and visited Nagayama Shuzo, the brewer of Yamazaru in Asa.
When I told the owner that I was from Kansai, she told me that they were just now opening a store in Hanshin, Umeda, and that they were sending most of their sake products to the store... I was so surprised 🤣.
Still, I asked my mom if she could recommend any sake that they don't send to Kansai as a souvenir for my sake-loving friend, and I got it 😀.
Perhaps feeling sorry for me, my mom brought out more than 10 bottles of sake from the fridge and told me to pour as much sake as I wanted and drink it as much as I wanted 😇.
They were all delicious, but I especially liked this Aizanzaru 😀.
It's a mountain monkey brewed in Aizan, so it seems to be an Aizan monkey 🤣.
I thought it was a refreshing, sharp and fruity drink, just as I expected from Aizan 😀.
I heard that it is limited to 2000 bottles and they are sending it to Hanshin as well, so I will buy it again after I go back to Kansai 😀.
With this, all the purposes of this trip home were successfully completed🙆
I will return to Osaka on the ferry that departs in the evening. ⛴️

Hello Yasube, 🐦.
Your Yamaguchi Sake life is going well 😆 I was wondering about this brand! I think you are coming to the brewery festival, but since I can't make it this time, I enjoyed watching you 😆.
Have a safe trip back with Kaorin 😊.

Hi Pon 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
We got on the ferry safely and will be opening Izakaya Ferry from now on 😀.
