In Japan, there is a culture called “bar hopping.”
It is a culture of going around drinking at each izakaya, restaurant, bar, etc.
Aizu is one of Japan’s leading sake producing areas, and there are many restaurants where you can enjoy delicious food made with local ingredients while drinking.
You can enjoy Aizu-style hospitality at a lively izakaya,
eat your fill of the delicious cuisine of a unique restaurant,
or relax in a quiet bar and reflect on your trip.
We hope that through your own unique bar hopping experience, you will discover as many of the exquisite flavors, hospitality, and atmosphere that can only be found in Aizuwakamatsu.
