    Kumamoto Aso-gun Takamorimachi Takamori 1645
    This sake brewery in Takamori Town is encircled by the five peaks and southern outer crater rim of Mt. Aso. Since it was founded in 1762, the brewery has continued to make sake utilizing the Aso region's extreme differences of heat and cold, and using pure underground spring water from Mt. Aso and Aso rice. The brewery's most popular brand, Reizan, has a crisp flavor and is designed to accompany meals. Amidst a boom in ginjo sakes in which many breweries are pursuing exceedingly fragrant beverages, this brewery continues to be dedicated to the production of traditional flavors which remain beloved by area residents and others. The brewery also offers tastings of its products, making it fun to find your favorite.

    高森町の街中。日本酒「 れいざん 」を産み出す蔵です。最近流行の華やかな酒とは違って、すっきりとした飲み口は、どんな料理にもマッチします。 蔵には酒造りの様子がわかるミニチュアや資料も展示されています。阿蘇観光の途中に、ちょっと立ち寄るのもいいですよ。

    Visited Kuma Shochu Museum to learn how Shochu is made. Followed by shochu and umeshu tasting. We bought a few small bottles of umeshu to try. Nice museum and wide selection of liquor.

    Kumamoto Amakusa-shi Kitaharamachi 3-10
    "A pottery studio founded in 1845 with an attached workshop and gallery. While the pottery has a long history, their work features modern designs to blend with contemporary life under a concept of ""vessels for daily use that enrich people's living spaces."" All of their pieces are masterfully created by hand without any machine-based mass production at all. The gallery's permanent exhibit features Maruo ware's work as well as pieces from other potters."

    特別丸焼きを購入したくてこちらに来たわけではなかったのですが、窯元なので、ちょっと見てみたいと思い立ち寄りました。値段は結構しました。観光地に窯元があると立ち寄るのですが、それぞれ風情があっていい感じですね。こちらも見るだけでしたが、ちょっと気分良かったです。

Kumamoto Areas

around-area-map

Kumamoto lies in the center of Kyushu, a calm prefecture perfect for easy strolls around the historic center and lazy evenings in the natural hot springs at Kurokawa Onsen. For a slightly more strenuous activity, head to Mount Aso, whose surrounding hills offer hiking opportunities aplenty with views over the active volcano.
