We want to convey the taste of Hachimantai more realistically. “Hachimantai Auberge” tour was born from such a thought. As the First time will present the theme of Hachimantai’s local Japanese wine “Washinoo.”

We are exhibiting a sake machine by a crafter artist of Iwate and proposing a moment to taste the sake of Washinoo carefully.

After visiting sake brewery, we will visit a local Washinoo store and enjoy a traditional lunch box using Hachimantai’s ingredients with an excellent Washinoo Tasting where we are going to compare and guess the type and enjoy the differences of the taste.

Geo-farm HACHIMANTAI is a farm that produces Hachimantai mushrooms utilizing equestrian compost fertilizer and geothermal power. Here is an unexpected relationship to practice circulating agriculture with Washinoo.

As the final process to decide the taste of sake, there is “Tamawari” which means to add water to adjust its alcoholic percentage.

The water in Washinoo comes from the underground water of the beautiful scenery of Mt. Iwate.

Let’s do Tamawari and experience the taste of the water use in Washinoo as well as enjoy how the flavor changed according to the degree of alcohol when you added it to the sake.

For dinner, we have a full course using Hachimantai fresh local ingredients.

Please listen to the explanation of each sake and how it fits each dish, giving by the owner of Washinoo while enjoying the sake and food mariage.

We offer a carefully selected collection of sake such as Hachimantai limited sake and aged sake.

Also, the drinking vessel use is the work of a craft artist from Iwate prefecture, which also participates in “Hundreds of Selections of Liquor and Relishes.”

Depending on the drinking vessel it changes the way of enjoying Japanese sake in various ways, such as how to smell, when you hold it in your hand when you touch it with your mouth.

It is a commitment event for everyone who loves sake where you can enjoy the compatibility in between the sake and the vessels, such as ceramics, porcelain, lacquerware, etc.

The next day of your stay, you can enjoy skiing at Hachimantai, and/or taking a snowshoe tour from the hotel.
