Why You Should Visit

A two-day fair pairing Izushi-yaki — the white porcelain of the castle town of Izushi — with the local sake of the Tajima region. Izushi-yaki sake vessels are on sale alongside tastings and sales of around 25 local sake labels, including sake brewed from Izushi-grown "Fukunohana" rice. On the first afternoon, the Hyogo qualifier of the National Sake-Tasting Championship is also held. A grown-up outing for those who want to enjoy the vessel and the sake together, and an easy stop while sightseeing in Izushi.
