A Fresh Sake Shop Inside Sakagura Dori Rengakan the “Sake Museum?” by Nihonsakari Includes Store Tour and Giveaway

On Sakagura-dori Street, there’s this impressive brick building, and to be honest, I thought it might be some kind of sake brewery museum or something. Sorry about that 😭

I got curious and looked it up, and apparently there’s a Nihonsakari restaurant inside, plus a corner where you can buy sake and undiluted sake sold by volume that you can only get at Rengakan～(^o^)／

I was way too curious, so I went to visit Nihonsakari “Sakagura-dori Rengakan”～

Inside “Sakagura-dori Rengakan”

The biggest highlight has to be the “Undiluted Sake Sold by Volume Corner”っ(^o^)／

What would we even do if we had this dream-like dispenser at home～(#^.^#)
Just imagining it is way too fun～♪

Now, one more time: “It’s a dream-like dispenser!”

The reason they can bottle it straight from the dispenser is because the brewery is right next door～
This has to be delicious～

Here’s the price list↓↓

※A separate bottle fee applies

Unfortunately, tastings are currently suspended, but once they resume, we’d definitely love to enjoy those too～😀（As of October 8, 2020）

Actually, inside the ticket gates at Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station, there’s also a direct sales spot for freshly pressed namagenshu, in other words, another dream-like dispenser.

At Koshien, cute girls carry namagenshu dispensers on their backs～！！We wrote an article about it too

Besides undiluted sake sold by volume, the specialty shop has plenty of other things to love～

This “Souhana” is a prestigious sake that has been supplied to the Imperial Household Agency for 120 years.

It was also shown on TV as having been used at the Court Banquet held in the first year of Reiwa.

Since this is Nihonsakari’s specialty shop, there is tons and tons of Nihonsakari sake.

This sake was highly recommended by the Rengakan manager, who said, “The value for money is amazing!”

“I’m buying it, I’m buying it～(^o^)／”

They even have canned bottles of namagenshu～

They told us, “Sake highballs are recommended～,” so we bought this set of four too.

It’s not just alcohol! Nihonsakari T-shirts～

I kind of want this～😄

There are sake vessels that are totally, unmistakably Nihonsakari～

And cute sake vessels too～

“They used to only have things like lotion and milky lotion, but now the selection has grown so much～！！”
We were super excited!(^^)!

Everyone knows “Komenuka Bijin.”

Even though this is Nihonsakari, for some reason they had Dassai.
Apparently, Dassai is sold here because the chairman of Asahi Shuzo, the company behind Dassai, once came to train at Nihonsakari long ago～

There were all kinds of products, and we seriously enjoyed shopping～

I had thought it was a sake museum, but it turned out to be a building with a Nihonsakari restaurant and specialty shop.

You can buy namagenshu too, so of course sake lovers will enjoy it, but there are also tons of non-alcoholic products, and it was so much fun～(^o^)／
