This time, Kosoki no Bishu has been selected to participate in the 10th Traveling SAKE event, which will be held on the 9th floor of Hankyu Umeda Main Store in Osaka from April 2nd to 7th, and will be setting up a stall there.
Tastings are also available, so please come and visit us.
This is a sake event where you can enjoy the feeling of traveling to the birthplace of a sake brewery that was crowned "Champion Sake" at the SAKE category of the "IWC (International Wine Challenge)" held every year in London.
The event will feature 20 notable breweries from across Hyogo Prefecture, one of Japan's leading sake-producing regions, including Miyabijin Sake Brewery in Minami-Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture, which was selected as the 2024 IWC Champion Sake in the SAKE category.
