[2026] Asakuchi Japanese Sake Garden

About this event

The "Asakuchi Japanese Sake Garden" will be held on the lawn plaza of Kamogata Machiya Park. Asakuchi City is a thriving sake-brewing town with four sake breweries located in the city. Among them, Kamikokoro Brewery, Hiraki Brewery, and Marumoto Brewery will gather to offer a paid sake tasting event. If you find a sake you like, you can naturally purchase it on the spot. Snacks pairing well with sake, soft drinks, and non-alcoholic beverages can also be enjoyed. A free shuttle bus will operate from Kamogata Station on the day of the event. In addition, there will be a special talk session featuring Maki Ichida and the breweries, an exciting raffle lottery, and free tastings of fresh raw somen noodles. [Recommended brands from each brewery] - Kamikokoro Brewery "Kamikokoro Shiboritate Genshu 900ml": Fresh freshly-pressed new sake brewed with Okayama White Peach Yeast. Enjoy the youthful flavor characteristic of new sake and the rich, fruity taste of unfiltered raw undiluted sake. - Hiraki Brewery "Kihei Junmai Daiginjo Omachi no Shizuku 720ml": A Junmai Daiginjo carefully brewed using traditional handmade techniques from lavishly polished Omachi rice, the pride of Okayama's sake rice. It features a fruity aroma, a light mouthfeel, and an elegant umami flavor. - Marumoto Brewery "Chikurin Karoyaka 720ml": Made 100% with specially cultivated Yamada Nishiki rice grown entirely by the brewery's own brewers. It features a gorgeous aroma, a light body, and a subtle sweetness. While it tastes sweet the moment it enters your mouth, within a few seconds its flavor shifts to dry. It pairs exceptionally well with food.
