Sake, shochu and famed umeshu — with a food-science lab in the kura.
Nakano BC, founded in 1932 in Kainan, Wakayama, brews sake, shochu, umeshu and plum juice at scale — its Kishu umeshu is nationally famous — and took gold at the 2024/25 (Reiwa 6) Annual Japan Sake Awards. Unusually for a kura, it runs its own food-science research institute devoted in part to the ume plum. Brewery tours are available.
