This labor-intensive process relies solely on human skill, without the use of modern machinery, to extract sake.<\/p>\n<p>The brewery produces Tanaka 65, a junmai sake with a 65% polishing ratio, which has gained a loyal following both in Japan and abroad. This year, the event will return to its full-scale format for the first time in years. Visitors can purchase kurabiraki-exclusive sake, enjoy tastings at the kaku-uchi (standing bar), and explore a food corner featuring nine local vendors offering Itoshima specialties such as oysters and mentaiko.<\/p>\n<p>A free shuttle bus will run from the south exit of Chikuzen-Maebaru Station.<br \/>\nThe next kurabiraki is scheduled for April 12\u201313, 2025.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/fn_shiraito-brewery_2025_cl.jpeg?resize=1024%2C684&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sake Brewery Opening at Shiraito Shuzo 2025\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-168857\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/fn_shiraito-brewery_2025_cl.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/fn_shiraito-brewery_2025_cl.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/fn_shiraito-brewery_2025_cl.jpeg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 2\/22 (Sat.), 2\/23 (Sun.) *rain or shine<br \/>\n\u2022 10:00~16:00<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\/644\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.shiraito.com\/news\/644\/<\/a><\/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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Founded in 1855, this historic Itoshima brewery is known for its traditional Hanegi-shibori method, a lever-press technique dating back to the Edo period&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29305,"featured_media":168857,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-168862","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","location-itoshima","event-type-food-drink","en-US"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/168862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29305"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168862"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
