    篠山の城下町にある酒蔵です。ここで秋限定酒を試飲。純米吟醸の鳳鳴冷おろしは甘味、辛味、酸味のバランスが取れている。アル度も高めなのに飲みやすく円やかで美味しかった。リキュールは黒豆と栗があり、これも試飲させてもらった。黒豆は酸味が強く少し飲みにくいかなと感じた。栗は少し甘さがありシロップのようでしたね。純米吟醸の鳳鳴冷おろし720㎖を家用に買い、栗のリキュールは、アイスにかけたり、炭酸や氷で割って...

    Hyogo Tamba-Sasayama-shi Kondacho Shimo-tachikui 40
    "Among the many Tamba ware pottery studios in the area, this is the only one to make use of a climbing kiln powered by pine firewood. Operating daily, the studio uses no glazes whatsoever, creating uniquely simple and austerely elegant pieces with natural colorings and deformations which occur during firing. The pine firewood used as fuel for the studio's climbing kiln produces ash which falls on pieces being fired, resulting in natural deformations and color variations called ""Haikaburi."" Each piece is unique, with its own pale colorings and distinctive patterns, and is visually appealing and intriguing no matter what angle it is viewed from. With a reservation, families, friends, or even lone individuals can come here and take part in a pottery experience class and create a one-of-a-kind piece."

    Hyogo Tamba-Sasayama-shi Kondacho Kami-tachikui 396
    This studio produces Tamba ware, counted as one of the six great ancient pottery styles of Japan alongside Seto ware, Shigaraki ware, Echizen ware, Tokoname ware, and Bizen ware. The studio continues to make pieces based on tradition yet incorporating novel new ideas amidst the roughly 60 pottery studios in Tachikui. Using primarily rice bran white and black glazes, the studio's designs are extremely yet have highly different appearances thanks to these glazes, and purchasers can enjoy the differing charms of each piece depending on the angle it is viewed from. Many of the studio's black-glazed rectangular plates, saucers, chamfered yunomi teacups, pitchers, and other pieces can be used as part of everyday life.

    Hyogo Tanba-shi Ichijimacho Nakatakeda 1171
    "This brewery founded in 1849 is located in a rich natural setting about 15 minutes from Kasuga Interchange on the Maizuru Wakasa Expressway. The brewery continues to make sake that is not ""that phantom sake you would like to drink just once"" but instead ""that once-in-a-lifetime sake you want to drink again."" The brewery's classic Kotsuzumi is a famous Tamba sake named by the poet Kyoshi Takahama. It has received high praise from all over the world as a fresh-tasting rice wine that represents the best of what Japanese sake to offer. The brewery's novel yet nostalgic bottle designs were created by the artist Kosuke Watanuki. He continues to innovate even now through unfettered thinking that blends Japanese and Western styles, and furthermore, transcends any borders."

    西山酒造道のお酒は近くの道の駅でも購入可能ですが、 蔵に併設してあるショップに来ると、 西山酒造道オリジナルの升や、 御酒印帳、トートバッグなどの購入が可能です。 週末はイベントが開催されていることもあり、 私はくじ引きでフェイスマスクと、おちょこをいただきました。 駐車場は道を挟んで向かいにありますが、 4台ほどしか停めれなかったように思います。

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.
