Experienced person's impression

I thought I wouldn't be able to touch various things, but I participated because I could actually experience sake brewing (hand in hand). It has become easier to approach sake breweries, and my image has changed significantly in a good way. I wondered if it would be possible to make good use of old tools (okes, etc.) that are no longer used in sake breweries. I feel that it is a waste to be splendid.

Everyone in the warehouse was friendly and easy to talk to, so I was healed! The president is also an interesting person, and I'm glad that he seems to be enjoying himself. I was surprised that they accepted outsiders. Even if there are parts that need to be taken care of, I think they are surprisingly flexible. Manpower work in the present age. I expected it, but I was surprised and at the same time I felt relieved (laughs).

What was especially good about participating was that the time was set according to the preparation time of the brewery, so I was able to have a more realistic experience! By experiencing sake brewing, is it delicious to drink until now? I was only thinking about it, but by drinking while thinking and feeling the background, I became able to enjoy sake even more.

Male in his 40s / Destination @ Amabuki Sake Brewery

I participated because I wanted to make sake, but the sake I drank while thinking that it was delicious somehow became more important to me when I learned the thoughts of the brewers. I think it must have been quite a challenge to be able to go not only on a tour but also to actually enter the building site. Thank you very much for your valuable experience.
