Chance to enjoy new brands of sake at Katsuya Shuzo in Munakata City. Visitors can taste special sake available only during this February’s sakagura biraki (first brewery opening of the year) such as junmaishu (pure-rice sake) made with locally harvested rice and freshly prepared new brews. Food stalls selling vegetables pickled in sake lees, sake manju (steamed bun) and more will be set up along the roadside for both days. On 2/23 (Sun.) there will be a mochitsuki (mochi pounding) event as well as a special procession of women in bridal kimono. The Tsubaki and Hina Ningyo will also be exhibited during the event.
