Hello, this is SacChi, your blogger from Kochi!
While the summer heat still lingers in Kochi, the local sake shops are already feeling the breeze of autumn.
Today, I’m introducing Kida Saketen, a long-time favorite since I moved to Kochi, and the autumn-exclusive “Bijofu Aki Sake (Junmai Ginjo)”, which I look forward to every year!
🍶 Kida Saketen – 5 Minutes from Kochi Station!
Located in Aioi-cho, Kochi City, Kida Saketen is a renowned local liquor shop offering an impressive selection of sake, shochu, wine, and other curated drinks.
They carry both Kochi’s local sake and famous labels from all over Japan.
Fun fact: I bought the popular “Bunkajin Obake Label” summer sake here too!
