Kokonoe Saika is an attractive store located in Momoyama Town, Kinokawa City, Wakayama Prefecture, approximately 2,600 meters from Shimoisaka Station.
 The store's hours are from 08:30 to 17:30, Monday to Saturday, with Sundays as a regular holiday.
 Additionally, as there are irregular holidays, it is recommended to check in advance before visiting.
This store is particularly popular for its unique umeshu (plum wine), which is based on Japanese sake.
 Unlike the typical white liquor or shochu, the umeshu made from sake offers a distinct flavor, and one sip releases the rich taste of the plums.
 With fruit pulp included, it allows for an even more enjoyable experience.
 The shop recommends drinking it on the rocks, and adding ice makes it even easier to enjoy.
 With these thoughtful touches, it has become a beloved choice for special occasions such as celebrations.
Furthermore, this establishment puts great effort into kanzake (warm sake) and received the highest gold award at the National Kanzake Contest in 2016.
 In particular, the "Yamahai Junmai Sake Saika" is notable for its soft flavor and the label design featuring the three-legged crow, Yatagarasu.
 This sake can be enjoyed as warm kanzake served at 55 degrees Celsius, and it pairs excellently with Tokkuri (sake vessel) and Guinomi (sake cup).
 The thicker tin Tokkuri is also excellent in heat retention, alleviating concerns about the sake cooling down.
The chefs are dedicated to selecting high-quality ingredients and focus on pairing delicious dishes with their drinks.
 Appetizers like "wasabi leaf soy sauce pickles" perfectly complement the sake, guiding you to an elegant drinking experience.
 Such snacks harmonize both spiciness and umami, bringing out new layers of flavor in combination with the sake.
At Kokonoe Saika, not only can you enjoy delicious Japanese sake and umeshu suitable for Japanese culture and traditional celebrations, but there is also a rich selection of appetizers to enjoy alongside them.
 Why not visit and indulge in this captivating space and culinary experience?
