(1716\u20131736). It is located on the K\u014dya Kaid\u014d\u2014the road leading to the World Heritage site K\u014dyasan\u2014and is registered as a Tangible Cultural Property. In earlier times it brewed labels such as &#8220;Miki Masamune&#8221; and &#8220;Nami no Tsuru.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When Amanosan Kong\u014dji Temple functioned as a lodging temple for pilgrims, the monk-brewed sake served to visitors became known as &#8220;Amano-zake.&#8221; According to tradition, this very sweet sake\u2014colorfully described in old accounts with the phrase &#8220;minus 100 degrees&#8221;\u2014was even beloved by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.<\/p>\n<p>In 1971 (Sh\u014dwa 46), through the goodwill of Amanosan Kong\u014dji and the support of local residents, Amano-zake was revived. Today it is a locally treasured sake appreciated by connoisseurs. The adjacent restaurant &#8220;Tenku&#8221; offers tasting flights and meals.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                        \n                                                <div
