Kyushu's Sake Brewery

There are many people who want to enjoy "hot springs" and "food" when sightseeing in Kyushu.
Would you like to add "sake" to the enjoyment of your trip?

The popularity of matching sake with Japanese food abroad has been influenced by the fact that "Japanese cuisine: Japanese traditional food culture" was registered by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage in December 2013.
In Japan, we enjoy "food" by decorating dishes with flowers and leaves, and using equipment and dishes to match the season. In this way, Japanese food is seen as one of the features expressing natural beauty and the change in seasons.
Japanese sake made from natural beautiful water is a wonderful partner for Japanese cuisine, making one another more refreshing and tasty.
