    Overview


    Hikami Seishu is a sake brewery located in Okuizumo Town, Nita District, Shimane Prefecture, approximately 432 meters from the Izumo Yokota Station.
     There are no specific business hours, so it is recommended to confirm before visiting.
     The inside of the brewery does not have seating and is primarily designed as an experiential facility focused on sake production.
    This brewery is particularly famous for its brand "Nanakanba" (Seven Crown Horse).
     This label was born in Heisei 7 (1995), and its origin comes with an intriguing story.
     The name is derived from the first Triple Crown winner, Symboli Rudolf, who had a connection with the owner, leading to this name being chosen.
     "Nanakanba" has a smooth taste, making it well-suited for pairing with a variety of Japanese cuisine, and it can be enjoyed chilled or as a warm sake, allowing for a delightful experience with different dishes.
    Additionally, the "Nanakanba Junmai Daiginjo" is a special item that captivates many people.
     This sake is made using delicious water and rice from the Okuizumo area, and its rich flavor has received high praise from numerous customers.
     Events such as the new sake festival offer opportunities to sample limited products and tastings, where visitors can tour the brewery and discover their favorite sake.
    Furthermore, during the new sake festival, not only sake but also local gourmet options such as kasujiru (a type of soup using sake lees) and yakisoba (fried noodles) can be enjoyed.
     Kasujiru is highly recommended for first-time drinkers, as its flavorful broth is packed with the essence of vegetables and salmon.
     There is also a variety of dishes available, including grilled mackerel and takoyaki, allowing for a more fulfilling experience.
    Hikami Seishu offers warm hospitality that reflects a deep love for Japanese culture and local products.
     With its intriguing sake and beautiful natural surroundings, this is a place worth visiting.
