Nishinomiya is home to “Nishinomiya-go” and “Imazu-go,” both part of Nada Gogo, Japan’s top sake-producing area.
It looks like the special website for the Nada Gogo brewery tour event “Nada no Sakagura Tanbo 2020” has opened. Here
This year’s “Nada no Sakagura Tanbo” also seems to have its first-ever online content~😀
Online content sounds so interesting~
Of course, there will also be the “Sakagura Walk,” where you can visit breweries on foot.

The online content that caught Nishitsu’s attention the most is this↓↓
- “Nada no Sakagura Tanbo Special Tasting Set”
Three types of tasting sets, each featuring four recommended mini bottles from 12 breweries, will be sold exclusively online.
Sales will begin on October 1 through the “Nada no Sakagura Tanbo” website.
Photo is for illustrative purposes.
Personally, a tasting set full of recommended picks feels like it would offer a pretty great deal! Normally, you’d have to buy a full bottle to try these kinds of sake, but this way you can enjoy a variety of them in mini bottles😁
Sales periods and sake tasting session dates↓↓
| Sales Period | Delivery Period | Sake Tasting Session | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Set A | 10/1~10/10 | 11/1~11/4 | 11/7(Sat)14:00~ |
| Set B | 10/8~10/17 | 11/8~11/11 | 11/14(Sat)14:00~ |
| Set C | 10/14~10/23 | 11/15~11/18 | 11/23(Mon・Holiday)14:00~ |
I’m curious to know what’s included in the special sets!(^^)!
And what’s more, it seems there will be an online sake tasting session hosted by the brewery owners participating in the special tasting sets! It’s not often you get the chance to hear directly from the people who make the sake.
Tasting together while drinking the special tasting set sounds like nothing but excitement😁
There are also other things, like being able to take part in the stamp rally without going to the actual locations♪
Collect stamps and you might win wonderful prizes by lottery!

Bonus
It looks like a manzai comedy duo called “Nihonshu” will appear in the online content.
These two↓↓

If you’re a fan of “Japanese sake,” you might be like, “Nihonshu? I know them, I know them~!!”
I bet that’s how it goes~😀
Manzai comedians who are certified sake tasters… that’s quite a niche(^.^)
They must be in high demand at sake events~
In Closing
Many breweries from Nishinomiya are also taking part(^_^)
Whether you love “Japanese sake,” love “Nihonshu,” or are just getting started, there’s plenty of content to enjoy. Best of all, it’s great that you can participate without actually going to the venue~。
