Watanabe Shuzoten
Gifu
Furukawa -cho, Hida -shi, where the Horai sake brewery is located, is located at the northernmost tip of Gifu Prefecture and is located in the Furukawa basin surrounded by mountains such as the Northern Alps Mountains and the Hida Mountains at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters above sea level.
"The streets of Hida Furukawa have elegant and old -fashioned as much as they are. Ryotaro Shiba ("Shake the Road") is that it has not been a tourism, and even makes you feel the intimate, facial expressions, or personality that can not be attached. " Ichinomachi, which is lined with old -fashioned old merchants, shows a calm sloppy, and there is still a more moist feeling along the Seto River, where the storehouse of the white wall black waist wall continues.
