On Thursday, October 28, we heard that the sakabayashi at the Hakushika Sake Museum Memorial Hall was being replaced with a new one, so we went to see this historic changing-of-the-guard moment～Sakabayashi are also called sugidama～
This article is brought to you by “ALBOBBY,” a salon that supports Nishitsu.
The sakabayashi～ is also a sign that “new sake is ready.”
Around the sakabayashi, the scent of cedar gently filled the air, and it felt so refreshing for both body and mind, like being in a forest～
Oh, right! Apparently this sakabayashi weighs a full 100 kg～!!
New sake being ready is something to celebrate, after all.
Let’s make a toast with Hakushika Classics limited-edition Daiginjo Nishinomiyago～!!
*This sake is not related to the new sake
These two sake lovers are both beaming😆
A memorable toast in front of the newly replaced sakabayashi～
We got Sensei’s “this is way too delicious” face～
Now, let’s get to the main topic: the sakabayashi～
It’s huge!!
The sakabayashi is about 1 meter 10 centimeters in diameter! And it weighs over 100 kg～
It takes four adults to carry it～ It looks seriously heavy.
Hanging it up looked incredibly tough～I mean, it weighs over 100 kg
The sakabayashi that was hung last year gradually turned brown over the course of a year～
Apparently it lost 60 kg in weight and is now about 40 kg～
I thought maybe I could lift it if I got the hang of it, since it was 40 kg, but nope, not at all～
