For two days on Saturday, November 12 and Sunday, November 13, 2022.
The "Sasaichi Shinshu Matsuri" will be held at Sasaichi Sake Brewery in Otsuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture.
This event is the only one in the world where you can taste both freshly brewed sake and Japanese wine.
Here are the details.
Freshly made sake × Japanese wine!
The "Sasaichi Shinshu Matsuri" is hosted by Sasaichi Sake Brewery, a long-established brewery with a history of over 360 years located at the entrance to the "Yamanashi Sake Kaido."
This brewery is the only sake brewery in Yamanashi that brews both sake and Japanese wine.
At this event, visitors are scheduled to enjoy this year's new sake and freshly made Yamanashi Nouveau.
From the "Sasaichi" series, brewed with sake rice from Yamanashi Prefecture and subsoil water from Mount Fuji, the fresh and fruity sake "Sasaichi Hatsushibori Nama," pressed first this year, will make its appearance.
Furthermore, from Sasaichi Sake Brewery's wine brand "OLIFANT," the 2022 Yamanashi Nouveau releases "OLIFANT Koshu 2022, OLIFANT Muscat Bailey A 2022, and OLIFANT Delaware 2022" will appear.
In addition, a total of 16 varieties of sake and Japanese wine brewed by Sasaichi Sake Brewery will be served at the venue.
Various types of sake and wine will reportedly be available.
Not just alcoholic beverages!
As a new endeavor for this event, in cooperation with local radio station FM FUJI, three renowned restaurants representing Yamanashi have decided to open stalls, creating an exclusive collaboration for the Shinshu Matsuri with the premium sake "Dan," which won the Platinum Award at an international sake competition.
All dishes use ingredients from Yamanashi Prefecture, and visitors will be able to enjoy pairings with cuisine from the 3 popular restaurants at the same time.
A variety of events are also planned, including talk shows between the brewery and restaurant representatives.
These attractive initiatives, beyond just the drinks, are definitely a must-check.
Enjoy a luxurious 1 day to the fullest!
"Moromi Wine Red and White" will also appear exclusively at the venue this time.
This sweet, fizzy wine with an alcohol content of 2% that is still in the process of fermentation is a gem that only a winery can provide.
It is a luxurious event where you can simultaneously enjoy Japan's representative sake and Japanese wine.
If you love alcoholic beverages, why not check it out?
