It was a very interesting experience. This time, I participated in an activity where I wanted to enjoy local sake on the last day of my 2-night, 3-day trip to Hokuriku. As the title suggests, I enjoyed local Fukui sake in lacquered glasses. The local sake was delicious, and serving it in a lacquered dish made it even more mellow, making it a very interesting experience. I learned for the first time from the shop owner and the event company staff that Sabae City is famous for not only glasses but also lacquerware, and I thought the idea of combining local sake with another local specialty was very interesting. The shop was also very close to the station, so it was convenient as it could be reached by train!
The guests enjoyed very...
