Fukushima Kitakata-shi 3-4786

"This venerable soy sauce and miso maker dates back to the Edo period. They've used all-natural local ingredients ever since their founding in 1755, making miso and soy sauce that can be eaten with peace of mind. The corner shop has a modern Western design that uses the same ornamental tiles as the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. Behind it there are still eight old warehouses used to store materials and tools. The shop's flagship ""Wakaki Tennen Jozo Shoyu"" soy sauce is made from local soybeans fermented in wooden tanks and aged for two years. It offers a traditional aromatic flavoring for sushi and sashimi."

Kita no Hana Shuzojo Sake Brewery

Fukushima Kitakata-shi Maeda 4924

"This sake brewery created the label Hoshi Masamune in 1919, and after the Second World War was revived with the release of Kita no Hana. It now bears the name of Kitakata's youngest brewery, a town which has long been known for its sake making traditions. The water is clean, clear spring water bubbling up from a bedrock aquifer fed from the Iide mountain range, which has supported sake brewing for some 500 years. Their junmai daiginjo, brewed using Fukushima's Yume Kobo yeast, is a soft, full flavored sake. Their primary goal with the name Kita no Hana is to evoke their community of Kitakata, a famous sake town, and to help bring a bit of joy to people's lives through the Hana character (meaning both ""flower"" and ""splendor"")."

喜多方市の主催で、酒造り講座と言うのがあり、約半年間この酒蔵に通って、習いました。米を洗うところから始まって，麹の造り方や仕込みなど、全工程を学びます。杜氏さんにはいろいろ教えて頂きました。最後に出来上がった大吟醸に、自分で考えたラベルを張って持ち帰ります。今まで飲んだ日本酒で一番美味しい酒でした。

Fukushima Kitakata-shi Shiokawamachi Otaki Tsukada 3281-1

This is the first temple on the Aizu 33 Temple Pilgrimage, a registered Japan Heritage. This Kannon-do hall in the temple precincts of Shingon-shu school Kobaizan Joan-ji temple enshrines a statue of the 11-Faced Kannon, once owned by someone called Millionaire Joan. The current hall was apparently rebuilt between 1598-1601 after the original was burned by soldiers of the Date clan in 1589. This place still resonates with the ancient echoes of the faith of Aizu, said to be the first place in the Tohoku region where the culture of Buddhism flourished.
