＜A word from the reporter:
Yugenoha Shrine is a shrine that is revered by sake brewers as the guardian god of sake brewing. We would like to celebrate the coming of the New Year with a sake barrel taste comparison. A free shuttle bus runs during the daytime on Mikaga day for convenient Hatsumode (New Year’s visit)!
