    Overview


    Kokki Sake Brewery is located in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture, just a three-minute walk from the Horikawa Sightseeing Boat's Kyotei Karakoro Plaza.
     The operating hours are from 08:00 to 19:00, and since the days off and hours may change, it is recommended to check before visiting.
     The establishment does not have seating available, and the primary focus is on enjoying tastings.
    At this brewery, traditional Japanese sake brewing is cherished while offering a diverse selection of sake.
     Notably, their beautiful label designs stand out.
     The labels feature a series created with Nishijin brocade from Kyoto, and visitors can utilize them as coasters after tasting, which adds a unique touch to the experience.
    The tasting corner offers a wide variety of sake, including high-quality options such as "Kokki Junmai Daiginjo Karakuchi PURPLE" and "Kokki Daiginjo Karakuchi BLACK.
    " Each sake has its unique flavor and characteristics.
     The "Junmai Daiginjo Karakuchi" has a relatively low alcohol content of 14%, but its fruity notes and excellent pairing with food make it a "food-friendly sake" that has been developed with this in mind.
    Additionally, the brewery offers types of sake that are refreshing with a bright acidity and subtle sweetness, making them enjoyable without any snacks.
     This quality also makes them well-suited for pairing with Japanese cuisine.
     Visitors are impressed not only by the meticulous explanations provided but also by the warm hospitality of the staff, highlighting their friendly service.
    The experience within this historical building offers a valuable opportunity to deepen an understanding of Japanese culture.
     Sakes crafted under the name "Kokki" each have different personalities while consistently meeting high-quality standards.
     This background likely contributes to their lasting popularity among many customers.
    I highly encourage everyone to visit and enjoy this wonderful aspect of Japanese culture along with the delicious sake.
