The “Sake Brewery Tour” is a series of events where one sake brewery is selected each time, and you can enjoy sake with local cuisine arranged by the head chef. By featuring one sake brewery, it is an event where you can experience not only the taste but also the history and climate, and experience the charm and depth of local sake nurtured in the area.
For the third time, we selected Okuhida Sake Brewery, which boasts a history of over 300 years. Kaneyama-cho, Gero City, a mountain hot spring area sandwiched between the Masuda River, which originates at the foot of Mt. Norikura, which rises on the border of Gifu and Nagano, and the Maze River, which is known as a mecca for sweetfish fishing. A sake brewery that has been handed down from generation to generation since the Edo period. It is carefully brewed by the hands of the brewers, based on the belief of “sake that is close to each person’s precious life.”

At this event, the “Special Junmai Daiginjo Okuhida”, which won the GOLD medal in the Japanese sake category of the world-renowned wine competition “IWC (International Wine Challenge) 2022”, and sake brewed especially for this event. A total of 5 types of sake, including limited-edition raw sake (not for sale), are paired with each dish. We are particular about the temperature and sake cups that bring out the deliciousness of the dishes to the maximum, so you can enjoy different flavors as your meal progresses.
In addition, head chef Takashi Tsuruta has devised a special menu for this day only under the supervision of head chef Yorihiko Fukuda. While incorporating local cuisine that makes use of carefully selected ingredients from Gifu, we serve Japanese cuisine with the image of marriage with sake.
On the day of the event, we will invite a brewery owner from the local area to explain the history and characteristics of the brewery, how to enjoy sake, etc. in a fun way.
