"Saka-gura-biraki"




Last monday, on a public holiday, I enjoyed "Saka-gura-biraki(酒蔵開き)". In cold season, there is few amazing events. But, each year, I am looking forward to going to "Saka-gura-biraki" that is held in this season.

Saka-gura means a Sake factory (brewery). Generally, in Saka-gura-biraki, people can enter a factory where Sake is produced and can buy a very new Sake.

The Saka-gura where I visited sell "Sake-manjyu(酒まんじゅう)". They sell it only in Saka-gura-biraki.

Of cource, I bought a bottle of a new Sake and a Sake-manjyu.
