This esteemed event showcases sake made from Yamada Nishiki rice, acclaimed as the &#8216;king of sake rice&#8217;, locally sourced from Itoshima. The brewery is renowned for its traditional &#8216;Hanegi Shibori&#8217; method, a labor-intensive technique, to produce its signature sake. One of their popular offerings is &#8216;Tanaka Rokujuugo&#8217; (Tanaka 65), a junmai sake with a rice polishing ratio of 65%, appreciated for its everyday drinkability and has garnered a following both in Japan and abroad. The event is a much-anticipated occasion, especially for the sale of its limited-edition sakes. In 2024, the event will maintain a drive-through format exclusively for product sales, with no provision for brewery tours, exhibitions, tastings, or food and beverage areas.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fn_shiraito-shuzo-open_2021_cl.jpeg?resize=1400%2C1068&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sake Brewery Opening at Shiraito Shuzo, \u767d\u7cf8\u9152\u9020\u8535\u958b\u304d\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1068\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-151470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fn_shiraito-shuzo-open_2021_cl.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fn_shiraito-shuzo-open_2021_cl.jpeg?resize=300%2C229&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fn_shiraito-shuzo-open_2021_cl.jpeg?resize=1024%2C781&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fn_shiraito-shuzo-open_2021_cl.jpeg?resize=768%2C586&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 2\/24 (Sat.), 2\/25 (Sun.), 4\/13 (Sat.), 4\/14 (Sun.)<br \/>\n\u2022 10:00~15:00<br \/>\n\u2022 Free entry<br \/>\n\u2022 Shiraito Shuzo<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/ccd3HWW5FgFU9Z977\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">1986 Hon, Itoshima City, Fukuoka<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shiraito.com\/news\/562\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.shiraito.com\/news\/562\/<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tanaka65_shiraito1855\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tanaka65_shiraito1855\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since 1855, a venerable Itoshima sake brewery has been hosting its annual February opening.
