MIKURA Vinegary

In the lush, mountainous area of Taki Town, Mie Prefecture, VISON is a village-like facility that takes advantage of the undulating terrain. One of the most eye-catching buildings with white walls and triangular roofs is MIKURA Vinegarary, where vinegar is brewed and sold through hands-on experiences. As you open the door, the refreshing aroma of vinegar tickles your nose. This is also a brewery, producing brown rice vinegar and sake lees vinegar. Both the brown rice and sake lees used as raw materials are from Taki Town. Brown rice from Onishi Farm and sake lees from Kawabu Brewery, a Hokosugi brand. Vinegar is brewed using the blessings unique to this region. The production site is right there. If you're lucky, you might even witness the brewing process. The sight of the vinegar slowly growing in wooden barrels, with a white film of mold forming on its surface, makes you feel that microorganisms are alive. What's even better is that you can not only see but also experience tasting. From traditional vinegars to fruit vinegars and ponzu sauce, the variety of ways to drink and use vinegar is easy to imagine, bringing you closer to the world of vinegar. The taste, which is so good that even professional chefs use it, makes it perfect as a thoughtful souvenir. You can also enjoy vinegar-infused soft serve ice cream and refreshing vinegar drinks. Why not visit and see, taste, and refresh your mind and body with a "vinegary" feel?
