    その名の通り、梅干に関連した施設です。工場見学〜展示〜のエリアを抜けてあらわれるおみやげコーナーには、さまざまな種類の梅干しが!試食ができるのがよいですね(ほぼほぼ全部梅干し!笑)。

    This soy sauce maker is approximately ten minutes on foot from JR Yuasa Station. The establishment is recognizable by its Kinzanji-miso sign.

They also sell merchandise including specialty items like soy sauce made just for the specific food, yuzu-ponzu sauce, and their top prize winning Kiippon Kuromame Shoyu of Yuasa Soy Sauce.

    Wakayama Pref. Kainanshi Fujishiro 758-45
    "This sake brewery facing Wakaura Bay is approximately two minutes by car from the Hanwa Expressway Kainan Interchange. They started in 1949 making ko-type shochu distilled spirits and released their Fujishiro shochu. They went on to win first place for their Kinokuniya Bunzaemon junmai sake at the 2011 International Wine Challenge, the largest of its kind worldwide. While maintaining traditions of ""quality first"" and ""creative ingenuity,"" today they also work on research and development of health food and cosmetics made from Wakyama Prefecture specialty products like plum extract. They regularly hold brewery tours where you can view the production process of sake, plum wine, and more."

    Wakayama Ito-gun Katsuragicho Nakaiburi 85
    "This sake brewing company has a brewery located a short walk from JR Nakaiburi Station on National Route 24. It is the only brewery in the foothills of Mt. Koya. It makes sake the old-fashioned way with sake rice grown using reduced agrochemicals by contracted farmers. The company's flagship sake is its Kishu Katsuragi Kawakamisyu, which has long been the favorite ""hannyato"" of Mt. Koya. Hannyato is Japanese Buddhist jargon literally meaning ""hot wisdom"" that refers to a daily allowance of sake. The company offers brewery tours (reservation required) from mid-October to early April (except for January and February). One of the highlights of the tour is the brewery's historic main building, which is a registered national tangible cultural asset."

It is the manufacturing and sales source for Nagisa Beer, a product of the traditions and geography of Nanki Shirahama. This beer, made with the famous local Nanki Shirahama Tonda Water, goes down easily, has a rich, deep flavor, and a fragrant scent. The sales counter inside the plant features not only the usual pale ale, American wheat, and IPA varieties, but also seasonal specialties, such as Mandarin orange ale and Pilsner, all freshly brewed and available to taste. The plant also offers free tours.

    白浜の南側から海岸線に沿う道路を三段壁へ向かう途中、ナギサビール工場無料見学可の看板に誘われて行ってみました。各種のランキングで世界のビールを対象とした審査会で金賞、銀賞、銅賞を取っている地ビールの工場だそうで、無料で見学させてもらいました。大手のビール工場の見学には行ったことがありますが、地ビールの工場は初めてでこじんまりとし趣は地方の酒蔵を思い起こしました。しかし、明るくて清潔な工場で工場の方...
