In closing
At Kakitan, you can enjoy sake selected by the owner, a former sake brewer who spent 21 years making sake at breweries in the Nada Gogo region. Before relocating, the bar was reportedly featured on television, in newspapers, and on the radio. It looks like Kakitan has plenty of loyal fans dating back to its Nishinomiya days!
