ttery studio where tableware that goes well with food is made. Kagoshima is famous for its Satsuma ware pottery. There are two types: Shiromon (White Satsuma), which is primarily used for ornaments and figurines, and Kuromon (Black Satsuma), which is often used for items such as sake utensils for drinking shochu and other beverages. Ryumonjiyaki is a school of Satsuma ware that continues the tradition of Kuromon. Touring the pottery studio is not included. Only the shop next to the pottery studio will be visited.
Shochu, produced in the blessed nature of Kagoshima, is one of Japan's most popular distilled beverages. At Wakashio Distillery, after a tour of the distillery where shochu is actually made, you can enjoy a shochu blending experience where you can mix various shochu according to your own taste to create your own original shochu. Shochu that you blended can be taken home in a bottle.
