According to the Nada Gogo Sake Brewers Association website…
To celebrate the start of “Nishinomiya Kurabiraki” in February, a sake tasting event will be held featuring eight breweries in the city and the Nada Gogo Sake Brewers Association.
In addition to the six breweries taking part in Kurabiraki (Takaramusume, Hakushika, Nihonsakari, Tokuwaka, Ozeki, and Hakutaka), Nadaichi and Shimabijin will also participate.
The Nada Gogo Sake Brewers Association will also have a booth offering sake from Kobe. Take this opportunity to compare and enjoy plenty of sake from Nishinomiya and Kobe.
That’s what it says.
In addition to tasting and sales of sake from Nishinomiya and Kobe, they’ll also be selling snacks!
The event will be held on Saturday, January 19, from 10:00 to 15:00.
