    This local sake brewery has a 200-year history. The local favorite Onna Joshu gets its name from Otsuya-no-Kata, the first female lord of the famous Iwamura Castle. They participate in sake competitions and win awards at Gifu Prefecture's Shinshu Kanpyokai (National New Sake Appraising and Deliberating Fair) almost every year. They have free brewery tours where you can see the trolley track that was once used for transporting rice and sake. They also have tastings of their recent brews and hold an event to introduce their new sake to the world on a Sunday and public holiday in February.

    朝ドラ半分あおいのロケ地で有名ですが、江戸時代の宿場町と江戸時代の古民家があり見どころがあります。また電線地中化になっておりとても空が綺麗でのんびりできます。 またお店もそこそこありのんびり晴れた日に2時間程度の散歩にもってこいです。

    Gifu Nakatsugawa-shi Honmachi 4-1-51
    "This is the gallery for the Hazama Sake Brewery, which brews pure rice sake made entirely with the ginjo-tsukuri method. It has exhibits of old brewery tools and holds tours of the sake brewery in an old atmosphere. It is said that about 80% of sake's quality comes from the water, so the finest sake has been made for a long time from the high-quality local water source. This store's signature product, ""Enayama,"" has a purely elegant taste using Enayama's underground water from the southernmost end of the Central Alps. It can be tasted in the hall decorated with modern white and black contrasts."

    Gifu Pref. Tajimishi Taiheichou 6-87
    This is the studio of Koizumi Zoho, the head of a family that has served the local shrine since the Edo Period. It's five minutes by car from the either Tajimi Interchange on Chuo Expressway or the north exit of JR Tajimi Station. The quality of work they aim for is neither like inexpensive mass-produced items, nor expensive works of art, but somewhere right in the middle. They put particular energy into their rice bowls. Through the trial and error approach of their artisans, they've produced every possible shape and pattern of rice bowl imaginable. The red paint made over a thousand-day period from a pigment known as “benigara looks gorgeous and becomes more subdued as time passes.
