"Nyumen, Seasonal Cuisine and Nara Sake" event held. The first guest brewery "Chiyo Sake Brewery, Gose City, Nara Prefecture"

At ON TOKYO, together with writer Chieko Fujita, who is also a sake advisor, we will hold an event called “Nyumen, Seasonal Cuisine and Nara Sake” that regularly welcomes sake breweries as guests.

The first event will be held on Saturday, September 9, 2023. We invite Mr. Tetsuya Sakai, the chief brewer of the famous sake brewery "Chiyo Shuzo" ​​in Gose City, Nara Prefecture, as a guest.

Based on the theme of "enjoying sake more deeply by understanding the background of the brewery", the two brands "Shinomine" and "Kushira" brewed by Mr. Sakai will be combined with ON TOKYO's Japanese and Western dishes, each with their own individuality. We will look for differences. The taste of sake alone starts with sake tasting. After that, please enjoy the story of sake brewing and how it will blossom with the combination of dishes.

Chiyo Sake Brewery ( Gose City, Nara Prefecture)
Brewery Tetsuya Sakai

Chiyo Sake Brewery is a sake brewery founded in 1873. The current brewery owner, Tetsuya Sakai, is a brewery master brewer who cultivates rice suitable for sake brewing in his own rice fields around the brewery and works in collaboration with the agriculture and brewing industries. The Kushira brand is brewed using Yamadanishiki grown in the Kushira area in front of the brewery. “Shinomine” is a brand that draws out the uniqueness of various sake rice such as Omachi, Aiyama, Hattannishiki, and Kamenoo. What these two brands have in common is that they are good sake to accompany a meal. https://chiyoshuzo.co.jp/
