Osaki City is home to Osaki Farmlands, which is recognized as part of the (GIAHS) Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. The nutrient-rich farmland and rice paddies, nurtured by abundant nature and crystal clear waters, have long supported the cultivation of crops, rice and the brewing of Japanese sake rice wine.
Café Tawemon
One corner of Soba Restaurant Taemon doubles as a cafe. Please enjoy lunch or a short break in the charming atmosphere provided by this old folk house. Their café menu features their signature "koji" rice (fermented rice). Osaki City is a treasure trove of fermented foods. Here, you can experience first-hand the appeal of such fermented foods and how microorganisms enhance the nutritional value and flavour not possible prior to fermentation.
