Hiraki Shuzo Autumn Brewery Opening 2026

About this event

The "Autumn Brewery Opening" will be held at Hiraki Shuzo in Asakuchi City, Okayama Prefecture. At this event, around 7 varieties of sake will be sold, led by the event-day-exclusive "Shinshu Junmai Shiboritate Muroka Namagenshu" (freshly pressed unfiltered undiluted raw pure-rice sake). In particular, "Kihei Cho-Tokusen Daiginjo", which won a Gold Prize at the 2026 National New Sake Appraisal, as well as seasonal limited editions such as "Kihei Junmai Ginjo Muroka Genshu" and "Kihei Junmai Ginjo Kioke-jikomi" (wooden-vat brewed), will also be featured. At the paid tasting corner, participants can sample and compare 5 varieties ranging from popular items to limited sakes, making it an irresistible opportunity for sake enthusiasts. In addition, four local vendors will open stalls offering foods that pair wonderfully with sake, such as hand-stretched udon noodles, baked goods, and sake cake. Free temporary parking is available at the venue, and a free shuttle bus will operate from JR Kamogata Station, ensuring convenient access. Admission is free, though food, drinks, product purchases, and tastings require separate payments.
