Mashike edition
This time, we go to Mashike, a town known for its "excellent sake"! Mashike Town prospered as a "herring town" and was called " the place of one thousand koku of herring" in its heyday. In those days, the nets and merchants lavishly poured their wealth into mansions, and many historic buildings still remain today. Rui and Muroya visited this nostalgic port town, and the first thing that struck them when they got off at Mashike Station, the terminus of the JR Rumoi Line, was the fresh seafood from the Sea of Japan. They tucked into fresh, clear, sweet shrimp and other original delicacies of Mashike. In the orchards located away from the harbor, you will taste the delicious fruits produced by the natural environment of Mount Shokanbetsu. And speaking of Mashike, the famous sake "Kunimare". A visit to the sake brewery is a must. The sake produced in the harsh natural environment of Mashike has a deep "dry" taste that can not be imitated.
