    Fukushima Kitakata-shi 3-4786
    "These are the first brick warehouses built in Kitakata, and date back to 1904. They include three-story equipment stores and two-story zashikigura (tatami-room style) warehouses at the back of Wakaki Shoten, a soy sauce and miso maker that dates back to 1755. Kitakata, famous as a brick town, built many brick warehouses due to a big fire in 1880. The brick zashikigura offers a Western atmosphere even as it holds a traditional Japanese tatami room inside. The first floor ""Shimagaki no Ma"" is completely done in striped persimmon wood, including the ceilings, trim, pillars, and even the hibachi pot trimmings. The second floor is the ""Keyaki no Ma"", and is outfitted with luxurious fittings of Japanese zelkova wood."

    Fukushima Kitakata-shi Kamisanmiyamachi Kamisanmiya
    "This sake brewery was founded in 1818. They are famous in Japan for being the first to make modern junmai sake and kicking off the nationwide boom. Their motto is ""Quality comes first,"" and they avoid following modernization and trends to focus on old fashioned methods to make the best sake they can. The story of how President Jimmy Carter praised their junmai on leaving Tokyo after his 1979 visit to Japan is still known today. In recent years, they have been working with farmers in designated areas to grow organic sake rice. They strive to create sake that evokes not only their care for rice, but the water and the local community as well."
