Rice and sake brewing on the roof of a building in Ginza!

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] May 19, 2016 09:00

I would like to report on a refreshing day experience of making sake from rice grown on the roof of a building in Ginza.

At the corner of the intersection where Showa-dori and Harumi-dori St. in Ginza 5-chome intersect, there is a building of Hakutsuru Sake Brewery, which is the rooftop of the 9th floor. It's been 10 years since we planted seedlings in May and started harvesting them in September. Ginjo sake and DaiGinjo sake were sold specially at major department stores in the city center, where they came from Kobe, where no one had ever done. At first, they struggled every day. In addition, planter vegetable cultivation We grow special vegetables from 16 prefectures. Tomato, melon, olives, eggplants, cucumbers, pumpkins, ginger, peppers, kuwai, peaches, etc.

By the way, I have planted seedlings of Tsukiyo eggplant in Kyushu. I feel the wide range of local communities to be able to experience this kind of thing in the city center. I will continue to support you, toast with alcohol!
