Kenchi Tachibana and THE RAMPAGE's Kenta Kamiya, Shogo Yamamoto, and Shogo Iwatani after visiting IseJingu. Next, we headed to VISON, one of Japan's largest commercial resort facilities that was just opened two years ago.

VIRIN de ISE
First, let's go to ``Birin'', a mirin brewed using the traditional method of brewing one sho of rice and one sho of mirin.
Mirin was originally made as an alcoholic beverage.
So, first of all, I decided to try it as is. Everyone was surprised and said, ``I've only had it as a seasoning, but this is delicious!'' ``I want to drink it with carbonation!''
Afterwards, they tried mirin with the alcohol removed and soy sauce, which brought out the sweetness of the mirin and made them want to dip it into grilled rice cakes.They were even more impressed.
The raw materials for mirin are glutinous rice, rice koji, and rice shochu, all of which are derived from rice. In addition, they use local rice from Taki Town TakiTown, and do all the rice polishing in-house, as well as producing their own rice shochu!
The sweetness and umami of the rice are all derived from rice, making them delicious.

Fukuwagura
Next, we headed to Fukuwagura, a Reiwa sake brewery run by Imuraya, famous for its azuki bars.
You can drink it inside the store or outside, so we'll let you sample it!
This time, we will be introducing a ``3-type drinking comparison set'' where you can compare Junmai sake, Junmai Ginjo, and Junmai Daiginjo, as well as snacks (Ise region delicacy ``Same no sauce'' and MatsusakaCity Gyugin's ``Matsusaka beef shigureni'') ”!).
``It has a fruity taste and is easy to drink!'' ``Each one has a different taste and is all delicious!'' They had fun chatting as they continued drinking.
Imuraya entered the liquor business by taking over the sake manufacturing business of Fukui Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. (Iga City, IgaCity), which was founded in 1900.
Fukuwakura's sake is made using mellow, mineral-rich hard water collected from Iidaka-cho, MatsusakaCity Mie Prefecture, and ``Kamiho'' rice from Mie Prefecture, which is suitable for sake brewing! In addition, through mechanization and thorough quality control, they are able to provide freshly brewed sake at any time using ``four seasons brewing.''

AmagoyaNakagawa
Lastly, we headed to Ama AmagoyaNakagawa, run by the Nakagawa family who have been practicing ama for three generations in Toba City, TobaCity Prefecture.
First, they started with giant clams, then turban shells, abalone, and spiny lobsters, all of which appeared in front of their eyes, and they enjoyed the seafood while listening to the amusing stories of the ama divers.
A realistic AmaHut（Amagoya）in Toba where active ama divers can welcome you wholeheartedly. While enjoying fresh seafood grilled right in front of your eyes, you can hear many stories about the sea from active ama divers.
