[RITA Izumo Hirata Sakamochida Kura] One building rental accommodation limited to one group per day will open on September 17, 2022

2022.09.05

A one-building rental accommodation limited to one group per day will be opened using the earthen storehouse of the long-established sake brewery “Sakamochida Main Shop” on the “Momen Kaido” in Hirata-cho, Izumo City.
Sakamochida Main Shop is a long-established sake brewery founded in 1877.
The storehouse that was used is designated as a national registered tangible cultural property along with the Sakamochida main store and the sake brewery.
Such a liquor Shop will be reborn as a place to experience staying.

"Pairing dinner" in collaboration with nearby restaurants

Sake from Sakamochida Main Shop that can be paired with each dish

For dinner, we offer a pairing dinner of about 10 Italian dishes and about 6 kinds of sake from the Sakamochida main shop at the popular Italian restaurant “trarroria814” nearby.
The feature is that you can enjoy a variety of Japanese sake such as seasonal flavors such as autumn hiyaoroshi and freshly brewed new sake in winter, as well as aged sake aged in sake breweries.

Sake does not have a sommelier like wine does, and there are few opportunities for consumers to expand the range of ways to enjoy sake.
Through not just “drinking” sake, but also “matching it with food,” we provide an experience that allows residents to encounter new values and ways of enjoying sake.

Dinner of about 10 dishes using local ingredients

Sake x beautiful skin "sake bath" formulated with skin-beautifying effects in mind

In the guest rooms, we have prepared “bath sake” that you can put in the bathtub like a bath salt.
Sake is a brewed alcoholic beverage made from rice, water, and rice malt, and various nutrients are produced during the fermentation process.
Amino acids, which are abundant in sake, are excellent moisturizing ingredients, and it is also known that α-EG, which is the umami component of sake, gives skin firmness.

With the cooperation of the Shimane Industrial Technology Center, we analyzed and extracted the beauty ingredients from 10 types of sake from the Sakamochida main Shop, and created an original bathing liquor for this facility.
You can enjoy a relaxing and luxurious bath time while immersing yourself in a private space rented as a whole building.

Enjoy a home-style breakfast at Mochida Soy Sauce Shop's

Breakfast is served at the home of the long-established soy sauce brewery “Mochida Soy Sauce Shop” located two doors away.

Grilled rice balls using soy sauce prepared again from Mochida Soy Sauce Shop, clam soup and simmered clams from Lake Shinji in Shimane.
You can enjoy a homely and warm breakfast made at the house of Mr. Mochida, who runs a soy sauce maker.
It’s a fun time to talk with an old lady who knows all about the new and old of the Cotton Road.
Please spend a relaxing time as if you were visiting a relative’s house in a room overlooking the Funakawa River, which once supported Izumo Hirata as a “road of distribution”.
