Wine Tasting at a Winery Overlooking Shizugawa Bay to Pair with Seafood Delights
About this spot
A winery born in Minami-Sanriku, Miyagi Prefecture, with stunning views of Shizugawa Bay. Taking advantage of its seaside location, it is known for the unique practice of submerging wines in the bay's waters for maturation—'ocean-aged wine.' At the shop, you can purchase and taste wines crafted from grapes grown in the town and Miyagi Prefecture, with a flavor profile designed to pair with Sanriku seafood such as oysters and scallops. Gazing at the shimmering bay through the windows while sipping from your glass brings back the lingering pleasure of the Kirakira Bowl you enjoyed at lunch. You'll surely find a bottle to take home that carries the story of this coastal town as a gift for your food-loving friends.
Tips
About 5 minutes by car from Sansan Shopping Street; parking available. Drivers should refrain from tasting and instead switch to purchasing bottles or non-alcoholic options. Operating days vary, so check official information in advance. A cooler bag is handy for taking wine with you.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour. The afternoon light reflecting off the bay is especially beautiful from the windows.
