SEIKAIHA - Koshunoya
We recommend relaxing after having lots of fun!
The staff will even entertain you with music!
Seigaiha Koshu no Ya, located along the west coast of Awaji Island, sells only sake selected by a professional who is also a certified wine sommelier who personally visits sake breweries all over Japan. This shop allows you to enjoy Inishie no Bishu, a premium brand of rare aged sake carefully selected from breweries in 19 prefectures across Japan. When you think of aged sake, many people may imagine aged awamori, but the sake sold at Koshu no Ya is Japanese sake.
The first floor is a gift shop selling vintage liquor, and the second floor is a restaurant bar overlooking the sea.
We have visited over 100 breweries across Japan and selected only the long-aged vintage sakes with particularly excellent aromas and flavors that have been aged for over 10 years. We have a sommelier-suggested pairing menu with dishes that go well with the aged sake, and we have 42 types of "Ancient Fine Wines" available.

Enjoy it even more by taking a different route home than you did there
This time, we introduced an example of a two-day, one-night anime trip starting from Osaka to Awajishima. However, Akashi is also recommended near Awajishima!
Take a shuttle bus from Koshu-no-ya to Iwaya Port, then take a boat to Akashi Port. The 13-minute boat trip is also enjoyable. At Ako, you can enjoy delicious dishes made with fresh fish and a variety of izakayas.
