Look at this line. There were two kinds.
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 1-13-28 Higashimachi, Nishinomiya, Hyogo.
The left side was for sales. The right side was for tasting. Both had lines forming~
The sales line had about a 20-minute wait.
For the tasting, the line was so long you couldn’t even see the end.
When I went around the corner, the line stretched all the way to the edge of the Tokuwaka building~.
Here’s the tasting lineup for that huge line↓
There were lots of tasting flight sets. By type, there were as many as 10! They had the 4-year-aged Shizuku I tried at the Nada Gogo brewery opening in Koshien~
After waiting around 40 minutes, I finally made it to the tasting~. Apparently there were times when the wait was an hour
There were tables made from sake cases around the building like this, too~.
A set and C set together.
This↓
You might think 1,200 yen + 1,000 yen would be 2,200 yen, but the A and C sets together were 2,000 yen, so it was a good deal!
I tried comparing them~. Shizuku unaged, Shizuku aged 4 years, Shizuku aged 6 years, and aged 10 years.
Personally, my favorite was the 4-year-aged Shizuku! I’ll post a tasting comparison video too~.
They were selling bottles too↓
Oh! The 720 mL bottle of 4-year Shizuku was 4,300 yen! Pretty pricey. I’d like to buy a 300 mL one~.
When I checked the sales area, they were selling the same kinds of sake. The 300 mL bottles of 4-year Shizuku were sold out~. Apparently they sold out right after the lucky bags
The Tokuwaka brewery opening was so much fun too~!I ended up buying the 720 mL bottle after all
Next Friday, which is a national holiday, there’ll be a brewery opening at “Nihonsakari”~.
