Shochu Dojo (Sakuranosato Shuzo Co., Ltd.)

4.5

"This shochu ""dojo"" adjoins the breweries of Inoue-Syuzo and Sakuranosato-Syuzou. The dojo was opened with the aim of passing on the techniques of authentic shochu, a traditional industry in southern Kyushu. The dojo is a reproduction of a Meiji/Taisho period brewery and is made of Obi cedar, once a local specialty product. The dojo engages in the production of shochu year-round, making it possible for visitors to view the production process whenever they visit. Visitors can also participate in a shochu-making activity and blend together six varieties of shochu as they see fit to produce a one-of-a-kind, original shochu (advance reservation required)."

初めて行きました。まずは製造工場を見学。案内してくださった方の説明もわかりやすかったです。いくつか質問もしてみました。焼酎の作り方を初めて知り奥深さを感じました。そのあと試飲コーナへ。さすが製造元。見たこともない焼酎が沢山ありました。数種類飲ませていただき一番気に入った孤独な天使を買いました。また機会があれば行きたいです。
