Sake brewery’s unique morning market “Kura” at Hamafukutsuru Ginjo Kobo

On January 22, Hamafukutsuru Ginjo Kobo, a sake brewery in Higashinada-ku, Kobe, will hold a morning market event called “Kura Marche. Admission is free.

This is a regular event where local producers and sellers gather to offer “seasonal tastes” and is scheduled to be held on the third Sunday of every month. On the first day of the New Year, a “sake brewery safety brewing prayer ceremony” will be held to pray for the safety of the sake brewing period, and the prayed new sake will be served to visitors as sacred sake (the ceremony will end when all sake is gone).
Hamafukutsuru is located in Uosaki Township, a core sake brewing area called Kami-nada, one of the “Nada-Gogo” (five Nada districts), which boasts the highest production volume in Japan among all the sake breweries in Japan. It is said to have been reconstructed as a modern “tour sake brewery” after the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, with the aim of restarting itself as a high-quality ginjo sake brewing workshop.
At the event, a special goody bag containing the recovery from the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake will be on sale, as well as rice cooked by “Izu Yone,” a rice shop in Mikage that sells rice carefully selected by a “rice master,” and seafood tempura, kujo negi tempura, squid, and other delicacies deep-fried in the morning by “Kanetetsu Delica Foods,” and yaki-sales by “Tofuya.
