[Musubibito] One of the few women's sake brewing traditions that have been rooted in Japan, is a program that allows you to try and taste the thoughtful sake.

Knowing the thoughts of "Akiko Nishikawa" who continues to make sake as a female brewery toji

Mr. Nishikawa, the 16th head of the family, succeeded the house and storehouse at the age of 26, and then became Kuramoto Toji. Among the brewery toji, which is dominated by men throughout Japan, we continue to make sake as one of the few women's brewery toji. Based on the creed of "brewer making that conveys the thoughts of the creator", we try to make carefully that can only be done with a small brewery. Before tasting sake made with this kind of thought, you can learn about your commitment and tradition through conversations with Mr. Nishikawa.

Visit an important cultural property house and an exhibition room for sake brewery tools to experience history

Kawai Sake Brewery, where Mr. Nishikawa serves as a toji, calls the brand name Jobonjiya, and there is a record that he already ran the brewing business in 1785 in the middle of the Edo period. The main building is designated as a national important cultural property, and it is a magnificent building that stands out in Imaimachi, and you can feel the style of a former Australian merchant.

In this program, you can also visit houses, and it is a valuable opportunity to experience history. In addition, you can observe the tools you actually used up close while listening to the brewing process. Such a place has been established based on Mr. Nishikawa's desire to transmit traditional industries and traditional culture from a historical place, convey what has been cultivated for a long time, and move forward without spare efforts.

Taste the three recommended types of liquor of the day

After touching on Mr. Nishikawa's thoughts and history, you can try three kinds of sake at the end of the program. Mr. Nishikawa chooses and offers three kinds of recommendations for the day. For example, the representative brand "Seisei Man" is a liquor that is slightly dry and delicious, and is popular as a liquor in food, and is often appreciated as an auspicious name. It reflects the desire to be a sake that is close to everyday life. In addition, we will give you a small or square as a memory of participating in this program.
