【Snow Sake and Snow Gakushi Soba (Buckwheat Noodles)】

Hello, this is Yamazaki, a staff member.

On January 16, snow burial work was carried out at Naka Shrine for "Togakushi Mountain Snow Naka Sake" and "Snow Gakushi Soba (Buckwheat Noodles)".

Volunteers from Togakushi's Soba noodle stores, liquor sales, and souvenir shops were involved in these two winter traditions in Togakushi, and each year they spend three months from January to April in the snow room in the Naka Shrine Precincts and Aged.
This is the 20th anniversary of the event.

There are two types of "Togakushi Mountain Snow Sake", pure Rice Ginjo and special honshu. From Spring, it will be sold or offered at liquor stores, souvenir shops, and restaurants in Togakushi. By being Aged in the snow, it has an even sweeter and mellower mouthfeel.
It is manufactured by Imai Shuzo.

"Snow comb Buckwheat noodles)" is a native species from Togakushi. After the brewery, it will be offered as a Limited Menu at each Soba noodle store from June. In fact, Soba (buckwheat noodles) in the middle of winter, which is considered to be the most delicious, can be Fun in early summer.

Can't wait 🌸 for Spring to visit after a long winter in Togakushi
