地元の酒屋さんに教わる!角館・武家屋敷通りで秋田の日本酒を学ぶ体験!

Akita has long been one of the nation's leading rice producing regions, and ``Akita is the country of rice, and the country of sake.'' Akita is truly a ``kingdom of fine sake'' that stands out in terms of both the production and consumption of sake.

Would you like to learn about Akita's sake, which was created in the rich environment of the natural climate, through an experience that includes a tasting where you can learn directly from a sake brewer who was born and raised in the area?

◎A liquor store located on Samurai Residence Street

Hosted by the owner of “Kinoshitaya Yoshinari”! You can ask me anything about sake♪

・You will learn about the uniqueness of each sake brewery, the characteristics of alcohol, and ways to drink it that you have never thought of.

・Based on the materials prepared for this course, start with knowledge about sake that you thought you knew but didn't know!

◎You will learn about 3 to 4 types of local sake each time while tasting them. Comes with local cuisine snacks!

・Select seasonal sake from the prefecture's sake breweries and listen to explanations while tasting them with a choko.

・I found out that sake is not as strict as wine, etc. when it comes to the snacks it goes with, so it is a very filling drink.

・We are sure that your Japanese sake life will become even more profound from tomorrow, as you will learn how to enjoy each season and the differences in taste caused by different sake vessels.

◎ Kakunodate Samurai Residence Street retains the scenery from about 400 years ago! Venue: “Old Ishiguro (Megumi) House”

・The streets lined with old samurai residences and black walls make you feel like you have traveled back in time.

・There are mansions, tea shops, and souvenir shops that you can tour, so we recommend taking a walk!
