Kiuchi Sake Brewery Honten is a sake brewery founded in 1828 in Naka City.
In addition to sake and Hitachino Nest Beer, they also sell goods associated with Hitachino Nest Beer, so it is well worth the trip. Speaking of Hitachino Brewing, you can now drink it at Tokyo Station, and it is also sold in beer cans and has grown to represent Ibaraki.
It is also available on Amazon. Probably few people in Tokyo do not know about it.
The main restaurant also has an eating and drinking area where you can enjoy soba noodles.

There is a direct sales shop (Fureai Farm Yoshino) near Hitachi-Konosu Station that sells NAKA vegetables and a restaurant specializing in fresh pasta that is attached to the direct store.
If you are a soba noodle eater at the main restaurant, you probably won’t be hungry for fresh pasta, but if you are not, I recommend it because the fresh pasta is delicious and fresh Naka vegetables are sold there.
