Sake Brewery in Nada, Kobe, Japan!
The best sake Japan has to offer can be found in Kobe's Nada area!
I went on a tour at Shushinkan Brewery, had sake tasting of Fukuju sake and learned about the process of sake brewing!
Kobe's Nada district is the top sake producing region in Japan! Nada is home to a number of sake breweries, and many of them offer great interactive tours and tastings. Plus, February/March is Shinshu (新酒) or New Sake season, making it a great time to visit the breweries!
The Kobe Shushinkan 神戶酒心館 brewery, and its brand Fukuju 福寿, is one of the more recognizable producers of the famed Nada 灘 region of Hyogo prefecture. They’ve been family-owned for an impressive 13 generations.
DRINKING SAKE IN KOBE! KOBE DAY 3 (VLOGMAS DAY 12)

My wishlist:
Rice Steaming at Fukuju (Kobe Shu-Shin-Kan Breweries Ltd.) - Part One
Every morning during brewing season, sake breweries will need to steam rice that would be used to make koji or as part of the main fermentation mash (Moromi). This is a front row seat at what happens after the rice is steamed.
Nada Sake Brewery 【Hyogo Japan】
A place where they brew sake（酒） is called a Sakagura（酒蔵）.
There one will find traditional techniques and mellow flavor of beautiful sake.
We have come to the Nada Sakagura area.
The Kobe Shushinkan was founded in 1751.
The Sake Fukuju（清酒 福寿） has accumulated many awards.
This brewery has added new facilities without chasing yields and has carefully stuck to mastering the taste of homemade sake.

Here the rice goes into a belt, which then leads the steamed rice into a cooling machine. The rice gets separated and cool air is blown onto the rice to drop the temperature.

I heard once that a scientist had a positive result when he played Mozart to fungus. So I thought it might have similar effect on rice malt (yeast) and we incorporated that into sake making.

December 18th, 2007 - Nihonbashi, Tokyo
18. SOUNDBITE (Japanese): Takuya Karino, Director of Sake and Culture Research Institute
I hear reports that the taste of sake improved when they played Mozart whilst making it. I can not say for sure whether that is true, but as there have not been any scientific studies into the phenomenon, we cannot explain the connection between music and the taste of Sake.

LEAD-IN:
Playing Mozart during the fermentation of rice improves the quality of sake, according to a Japanese brewery.
Although scientifically not proven, fans of the Mozart blend of the Japanese rice wine, say it actually makes a difference.
STORYLINE:
It is known that clean air, clear water and good rice are essential for making good sake but now the Kanai Brewery in Hadano, West of Tokyo, claims that the taste of their sake is improved by playing Mozart during the fermentation process.
The idea for the Mozart sake came from the fifth generation owner Hideyuki Sano, the current Executive President of Kanai Brewery.
A Sake Meister oversees the whole process of making rice, from purchasing rice to the brewing process.

Rice Washing at Hakutsuru Sake Brewing Company
When it comes to washing the rice for sake brewing, the timing is everything. A couple seconds less or more than required, then that's the difference between having too little or too much water in the rice. At Hakutsuru, the team times it perfectly using one of the washing tub as a gong.

TAK Stockholm, Nordic Hotels & Resorts
1000 square metres. Two floors. 48 meters above sea level. TAK is located on Brunkebergstorg in Stockholm city – together with the Nordic Choice Hotels At Six and Hobo they are part of Urban Escape Stockholm.
TAK has been designed and furnished by award-winning architect Gert Wingårdh. The result is a Nordic environment with elegant and Japanese elements in architecture, interior and feel. A timeless and disarming atmosphere which is perfected by the spectacular view.
A visit to TAK should be something out of the ordinary. Therefore, we only work with carefully selected suppliers that share our philosophy.
Our sake comes from Akebono, Sweden’s largest importer of sake. The biodynamic and organic wines are provided by Enjoy Wine, Savino and Kvalitetsvinet. Together with the Kiuchi Brewery in Japan we brew our own beer, and together with Kobe-Shu-Shin-Kan we have our own special sake, with a label designed by Frida.
Our amazing potatoes with notes of algae and ocean is grown especially for us at Ugglarps Grönt in Falkenberg.
Food and beverages in all its glory. But without glasses and plates they would be nothing. Our fantastic glasses, as well as the special made sake set Frida has developed together with the famous glass artist Erika Lagerbeilke, comes from Orrefors. Our beautiful ceramics are handmade by Anna Lindell in her pottery workshop at the childhood home Rosendal in Jönåker.
