Lunch and Cellar Tours Among Shochu and Wine Storehouses
About this spot
A complex facility run by Unkai Shochu Brewery, known for soba-based spirits, resembling a theme park of sake-making culture. Within this forest-like setting are shochu storehouses, a winery, a glass-craft gallery, a restaurant featuring local ingredients, and a gift shop. Enjoy leisurely cellar tours and shopping among the trees. At the forest restaurant, savor Miyazaki's finest flavors. The gift shop stocks shochu, wine, and local specialties, with a popular tasting counter. A perfect midday highlight—immerse yourself in the sake culture of this water-blessed town, cradled by greenery.
Tips
Tastings are for non-drivers only—designate a designated driver before departure for peace of mind. Bottles are heavy, so shop at the end and pay at the register in one trip. The restaurant can be crowded during lunch; arriving slightly early is recommended.
Best time to visit
Allow approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. Coming just before lunch opens ensures unhurried cellar tours and restaurant service.
