Other-foods

    During the feudal period, there were markets all over Morioka Castle. Much of it has been lost to the times, but Morioka still has a market of simple humanity. Ihatov Avenue, lined with monuments to Kenji Miyazawa, is 400 meters long. The streets are lined with shops, and the streets are filled with shoppers. In addition to selling fresh vegetables, fruits, and pickles at bargain prices, you can also enjoy local sake and beer while walking.

    Gomaibashi Winery

    Gomaibashi Winery is located in Iwate, which is known for its apple production, and makes wine using apples. Through thorough fruit selection, you can enjoy a very clear apple taste. In addition to apple wine, they carry dozens of wines from Austria, which is where they learned winemaking and is the origin of their own winemaking. In addition, you can sample apple wine in the store, and we also suggest compatibility between wine and food.
