Geibi Rest House

Sake Folk Culture Museum

Seki no Ichi Sake Brewery was named by Emperor Meiji's younger brother, Prince Kanin, who said, ``Make good sake that will please the people of the world.'' The ``Sake Folk Culture Museum'' inside is made up of valuable earthen storehouses that still retain traces of the time of its founding. The two-story wooden storehouse is the largest in Tohoku. Inside, some of the over 1,600 sake-making tools are on display. You can also see the brewer's room, which enshrines Matsuo Daimyojin, the god of sake, and materials related to the production of rice, which is essential for sake. In 2006, the ``Ichinoseki Literature Storehouse'' was opened to honor 12 writers associated with Ichinoseki.

Leaf Tobacco Pie Marutoku Confectionery

The Iwai region is known for its leaf tobacco production, which has supported the local economy along with rice cultivation and sericulture. As the name suggests, the famous confectionery ``Leaf Tobacco Pie'' is a sweet shaped like a tobacco leaf. It is a sweet with cream sandwiched between a crispy pie.
