We are going to Taketsuru in Takehara city. Takehara is 250km west of Osaka, approx. 2hrs by Bullet Train. We left Shin Osaka station 9:59am and arrived at Higashi Hiroshima station at 12:09.
Today is Taketsuru's 15th annual Tasting Day. Every year since 1997 Taketsuru Shuzou has held a Nomikirikai (Tasting day) for their clients.
We stayed at Komogawaso in Takehara.
The Nomikirikai started 2pm and continued until early the following morning.
We didn't have time to visit Taketsuru Shuzou but here are some pictures.

Looks yummy....
Everybody is enjoying drinking Taketsuru's best sakes!
Late last night we got a phone call from Ohtasan Bentenmusume that due to heavy rain the scheduled express train has been cancelled. A mere typhoon was not going to stop us—we re-routed through Okayama instead of Himeji.
We left Higashi Hiroshima station at 9:38am arriving at Kouge station at 12:44 and Ohtasan picked us up from there.
