Sake from Kyoto



Besides magnificent temples and gorgeous gardens, Kyoto also has excellent sake.
We had the opportunity to enjoy some during the World Data System Conference in September 2017.

There was a special sake barrel breaking ceremony, with Prof. Toshihiko Iyemori of Kyoto University as ceremony master

Here you may watch a more glamorous sake ceremony, with Robert De Niro participating

Back to our humble sake party

 


This is the sake we enjoyed: Kagura by Matsui Sake Brewing, Kyoto



Of course I had to visit this brewery and Ms Yoko Odagi of Kyoto University kindly arranged this. So here we are with Shigeki Matsui over an inox tank with fermenting rice pulp.
