The unique Hiyaoroshi of the thirteen sake breweries in the Saku area
In the Saku area adjacent to Karuizawa, there are thirteen sake breweries known for the delicious flavor of their sake. Sake that is stored in winter, fermented for one summer, and ready to drink by autumn is called Hiyaoroshi, and in Nagano Prefecture it is released every year on September 9th. Sake Terrace is an event taking place just after this release, where visitors can try out and compare different varieties of Hiyaorosh sake.
Smoked food cooked in a sake barrel
The Sake Terrace event has been held at Sonmin-Shokudo in the Karuizawa Hoshino Area since 2011. For this year, the 9th annual event, a total of twelve special grills will be made from sake barrels to go with the Hiyaoroshi. The lees from the sake making process are used when smoking food, so a soft scent of sake will emanate from the grill, and stimulate the appetite.

Inside the sake barrels, there will be smoked cheese, fish, Nozawana turnips, etc., that go well with Hiyaoroshi. The small sake barrel grills are for groups of two to three people. Visitors can experience smoking the food themselves and enjoy the fragrance and appearance.
