Women's Division Warehouse Tour ★ Event Report

On Saturday, November 28th, we held a collaborative event with FM Niigata called the "Women's Brewery Tour."

 

This is our 10th event with FM Niigata!

As this was a memorable episode, the setting was Nagaoka, Yoshinogawa's hometown.

Also, since you've gone to the trouble of coming all the way to Nagaoka...

This time, we've created a special bus tour where you can take a look inside the storehouse!

The storehouse isn't usually open to the public, so those who were able to participate this time were very lucky!

 

We'll meet at Nagaoka Station and then head to Hyotei first.

After a brief orientation, it was time for the brewery tour!

 

The three locations you visited today were the Yoshinogawa's Shinko Brewery, the Showa Brewery, and the Kamigumi Brewery.

At the brewery, the master brewer, Nakagawa, explained how Yoshinogawa sake is made.

Everyone was very interested, peeking into the fermentation tanks and even touching the koji rice.

 

 

Kamigumi Warehouse is a factory where bottling and product manufacturing take place.

We gave them a tour of the process, from when the sake is pressed to when it's displayed in the store.

 

We returned to Hyotei to warm ourselves up, and then there was a Q&A session with Hatakeyama from the research and development department.

There was also a little surprise here: we offered a sample of freshly brewed sake!

The powerful and rich flavor of the undiluted sake brought smiles and cries of "Oh!" from everyone.

Although it was a short time, I believe you were able to get a good sense of Yoshinogawa's brewery, production methods, and commitment to quality.

 

After the brewery tour, we went to the restaurant at Hotel New Otani Nagaoka.AzaleaMoved to "[Name]".
