Nanawarai Brewing Company
Deep in the mountainous prefecture of Nagano in Kiso town is where you’ll find Nanawarai Brewing Company. They were founded in 1892 on one of the five main historic roads called Nakasendō (also known as Kisokaidō) connecting present day Tokyo and Kyoto. Today in Kiso town you can experience historic inns, meet docile horses known as Kiso horses, and enjoy some buckwheat noodles made with wheat grown in the area. The pure water and severe winters they endure produces elegant and smooth sake, while they also focus on pursuing umami that is both nostalgic and satisfying.
