Roadside Station Nishikawa
The Roadside station Nishikawa has a local beer brewery.
The beer made with a particular manufacturing method using Mt. Gassan’s spring water and carefully selected ingredients from Germany has a reputation for being delicious.
In addition, local agricultural products such as mountain vegetables and mushrooms, which are abundantly found on Mt. Gassan, are displayed over the counter, and during the season, customers line up even before the station opens.
We also recommend relaxing at the adjacent Mizusawa Onsenkan to soothe away the fatigue of the day.
* Currently closed due to renovation work, scheduled to open in spring 2023
Recommended points
Mt. Gassan beer
We use malt, hops and yeast from Germany and the Czech Republic, the home of beer, and use German brewing technology and world-renowned Kasper Schulz brewing equipment. ① Pilsner It features a refreshing bitterness of hops, an exhilarating throat, and fine bubbles like silk. ➁ Münchner roasted germ is used, and although the color is dark, it has a clean and fresh taste. ③ Raoho Born with smokeness; that smoke permeates the germ when it is put on fire. Tsuyahime rice produced in the town is also used for the thinnings of the Keio cherry tree, which is actively produced in Nishikawa town, and for the auxiliary raw materials. There are many people who are addicted to the unique scent and taste even though it has a habit.
