The "Water theater" was a space like a movie theater. A video will be projected that expresses the Mizkan Group's group vision slogan, "Bringing Flavor to Life."

Enjoy learning how to make vinegar
"Hikari no Niwa"

garden of light

Finally, visit the "Hikari no Niwa (Garden of Light)" zone. Visitors can enjoy learning about the appeal of food through a variety of experiences. This zone is probably the most exciting for kids.

vinegar drink bar

First of all, "vinegar drink bar". I had a honey apple vinegar drink and a blueberry. (free refill)

sushi continent

The first thing that caught my eye was the huge amount of nigiri sushi!

The table named "Sushi Continent" has more than 1,000 pieces of more than 20 types of nigiri sushi. In the drawer on the side of the table, trivia about sushi was introduced. It is also very popular as a photo spot.

Ajipon Studio

Next, head to “Ajipon Studio” where you can make “My Ponzu”. Start by purchasing Ajipon (¥200).

Choose from 4 different label designs. "Say cheese!"

A label sticker is attached to the purchased “Ajipon”, and “My Ponzu” is completed. It also comes with a stylish box, so it looks like a good souvenir.

Narikiri sushi shop

Narikiri sushi shop

This is the "Narikiri sushi shop" booth. Use the paper clay as a sushi rice to hold the sushi. "Here you are!" It was very popular with the children as they could enjoy learning how to make sushi.

pot exercise

In addition, the game "Nabe Exercise" that moves the body like dancing,

photo pot

There is also a “photo-su pot (photo spot)” where you can use your body to complete the character “su”. This is also familiar with SNS, isn't it?

Some items can only be purchased here!
Museum shop

Finally, stop by the museum shop. There are also premium vinegars such as Mitsukan Yamabuki vinegar, which was founded by Mizkan, and Chiya, a limited-brewed vinegar that can only be purchased here. It's connected to the entrance, so you can stop by even if you're not a tour participant.

Mizkan Museum

It was a tour with more volume than I imagined. When I heard that it was a guided tour, I had the impression that it was a little difficult, but I was able to enjoy it from beginning to end. With this much content, the admission fee of 300 yen is too good!

It is a museum where not only adults but also children can learn together with the whole family. Why don't you have fun learning about the history of Mizkan and the profundity of vinegar making? Mizkan has a deep connection with the "Handa Red Brick Building" and the food culture of Handa. When you go out to Handa city, it is a spot that I would like you to stop by first.
