蔵見学
酒づくりをじっくり見学するのも良し、試飲をするのも良し、お土産で悩むのも良しでした。帰りは近所の米沢ラーメンで占めました。

Yamagata Main Areas
Although often overlooked, Yamagata prefecture by no means lacks appeal: the Yamadera temple trail through the mountains, deliciously tender Yonezawa wagyu, and over 100 steaming hot springs, most notably Zao Onsen, await visitors. When winter comes, the snowcapped peaks become dotted with skiers by day and onsen-goers by night, while summer brings the celebration of juicy Yamagata cherries.
