    A sake brewery over 460 years old located a five-minute walk from Itami Station. The facility also imports beer from Belgium and makes and sells Shirayuki, Japan's oldest seishu refined sake brand still in production. The first floor of the facility serves as a museum containing some 200 tools spanning 130 varieties actually used since ancient times to make sake. There's a diorama which recreates what an Edo period (1603-1868) sake brewery looked like and there are also photo spots where visitors can take 3D art photos of rice wine vats and straw-wrapped casks. In the second-floor restaurant, visitors can enjoy fresh-brewed sake, beer, and original dishes.

    伊丹工場の主体が、新しく出来る神戸工場に移管されるとのことで最後の工場見学にお邪魔した。縮小はされるが、伊丹工場は残る。神戸の新工場は、稼働後しばらくいしてから、見学を受け付ける模様。見学後に、マヨネーズにお土産を頂く。

Hyogo Areas

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
