Founded in 1830, this is the oldest brewery in Fukuoka Prefecture.
Nearby is Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, which enshrines the god of learning, Sugawara no Michizane. The shrine was named after the Japanese bush warbler that often hides in the thickets and never makes an appearance, and which would fly into the courtyard every day.
『庭のうぐいす Niwa no Uguisu Tokubetsu Junmai Natsuga Koi』
Natsuga Koi is a summer-only sake made by pasteurizing new sake, then immediately sealing it and storing it until summer arrives.
This stops the action of enzymes, giving the sake a refreshing acidity and a sharp taste that will soothe you during the hot summer.
Nanbu Sake Brewery, Fukui Prefecture
The humid days continue. It’s especially in this season that we need to relax our mind and body a little.
The sake the young proprietress has chosen to recommend this time is the fragrant and elegant plum wine “FEEL” made by Nanbu Sake Brewery, a long-established sake brewery in Fukui.
The fruity, ripe plums “Benisashi” and “Kensaki” are soaked in this pure rice sake brewed with sake rice and famous water from Fukui Prefecture.
The well-balanced taste is a combination of the mellowness unique to sake brewing, the rich acidity of Fukui Prefecture-grown Benisashi plums, and the natural sweetness. It has a gentle and clear flavor, as if you are stuffing the fruit itself into your mouth.
The straight, rich fruitiness of the plums, and the light drinking experience continues when served on the rocks with ice floating in it. It is also recommended to mix it with soda for a refreshing taste.
As the name “FEEL” suggests, this is a drink that will make you feel cool on a summer evening. A bite of comforting food to soothe you on these hot and humid days.
