Lastly

The sake event at the plaza in front of Koshien Station was held last year in 2024 and also in December 2022, so it’s starting to feel like an almost annual tradition😆 When it comes to events where lots of breweries gather in one place, “Sakagura Renaissance” is famous, but if more tasting events like this keep popping up, sake lovers won’t be able to resist〜🍶
