What to do and see in Kinki, Japan: The Best Food & Drink

February 15, 2022 Almeta Stockton

The Kansai region (関西地方, Kansai-chihō) or the Kinki region (近畿地方, Kinki-chihō) lies in the southern-central region of Japan's main island Honshū. The region includes the prefectures of Mie, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyōgo and Shiga, sometimes Fukui, Tokushima and Tottori. While the use of the terms "Kansai" and "Kinki" have changed over history, in most modern contexts the use of the two terms is interchangeable. The urban region of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto (Keihanshin region) is the second-most populated in Japan after the Greater Tokyo Area.

We had a bit of a mess up in the beginning. The website says to ring in advance if you would like to be apart of the English speaking tour so we did and booked for 12pm the next day. When we got there to start the tour there was no booking for us and there wasn’t even a tour at 12pm. Luckily they put us on the 1pm tour so we went and got some lunch while we waited. We downloaded an app on our phones and listened to the tour on there. However the guide was also really good and added some English in there for us too which I thought was great. My partner loves asahi beer so he really enjoyed seeing how the production all worked and the tastings at the end were fantastic.

We finished our day off at the brewery after walking many kms to Nara's outskirt temples. The sake was a warming relief from the cold elements outside and we had the 5 sakes and pickles. We liked each sake for their varying characteristics and it extended our knowledge. Consequently we bought each Sake and thoroughly enjoyed them during our trip in Japan. We were not disappointed with them subsequently. The surrounding area of the Brewery has lovely artisan shops and is nice for a stroll as well.
