The Sake-brewing industry prosperous from long ago in Takehara.
Some brewing companies still remain in the aesthetic area.
That I got interested especially in it is Taketsuru brewing company which is continuing traditional brewing. ↑↑
When it passes through the gate of an old store, it is a gloomy and long earthen floor.
Mr. Masataka Taketsuru (1894～1979) is also a founder of Nikka whiskey.
When all Japanese had just Sake,he studied the technology in Scotland then began to make whiskey in Japan.
The present Nikka whiskey is a separate company and Taketsuru brewing is a small-scale maker but I could feel that there is the tradition and prideful space when passed through the gate.
A tool, a label, etc. which were being used a long time ago are exhibited at the attic room of Taketsuru brewing.
at the ground floor, people have tasting Sake.
I couldn't taste because I had to drive a car....looks very good taste Sake and everyone seems enjoy it!!
Sake is made from rice.
They make the best Sake which is rice-flavored.
It is the method of traditional brewing which cultivates the yeast fungus used as the basis of alcohol by the power of a nature.
but this requires the most time and effort and time,so various additives are added, a time crunch is carried out, and it is built with the present age when technology progressed.
There are also many Taketsuru's fans who ask for traditional Sake.
''so, such visitors sympathize with our policy''
owner's wife told me that.
This Sake is yellow a little bit although sake has a water-white image.
I bought this a bottle of Sake,it is ''Hiden''.
I don't drink Sake,actually I can't....however this Hiden is very very tasty!!!!
this is very rich flavor and clear taste!!!
If the sake which met first is such tastes, I think that I had become a sake lover.
My husband who usually have beer, Shochu(distilled spirit) and sometimes wine,said ''I can drink this Sake without limit'' !! then he did it....
The town in Takehara is many bamboos and, as for the roadside tree, the bamboo is planted.↑↑↑
We enjoy very much in Takehara, it is time to go back to Hiroshima!!
heading to the west, we drive along the coast.
However, my mother told us ''it goes more we can reach to Akitsu-city, we can have very nice oyster and potato at there...''
So, we decided to go Akitsu now!!!! why not!!!
I will tell you next time how was Akitsu!!!
