Delicious combinations of sake and food

Enjoy the local sake from the Nagara River, associated with a legend "a path way of the rising dragon" and the duck cuisine which is known as the Imperial Household Agency meal.

The Nagara River is flowing from North to South in the middle of region in Japan. The source of the river is from Shirayama, which is famouse for the worshiping the Shugendo shamanism, bordering Gifu, Toyama, Ishikawa, and Fukui Prefectures. According to the Chinese geomancy, Feng Shui, the spirit in Japan is gathering on this mountain from all over Japan and the stream of the Nagara river which has its source in the mountain, is said to be the path of the rising dragon.
Oda Nobunaga is known as a warrior general, but he is also famous as an intellectual. He was fond of tea and Noh dancing as well as hawk hunting. He must have eaten duck as well during his hunting.

In the Imperial Household Agency, there is an area for hunting, and it has been capturing ducks using their historical hunting methods. The "duck teppanyaki" is a cuisine based on a recipe from the Imperial Household.
