Yoshinokawa Sake Brewery 4635 1-chome, Kitakata City, Fukushima Prefecture 18 minutes walk from JR Kitakata Station. Kitakata has many sake breweries, and I found this one while I was traveling. It has been loved by locals for generations as a brewery that produces sake in small quantities, and it seems that 98% of the sales volume is sold locally in Kitakata. I wasn't able to go inside and take a tour, but it was good just to look at the building. #summertrip
