Yamaguchi ken, Iwakuni shi
Umamon Pickling Plant-where you can buy pickled items carefully made with traditional technology-is a pickling plant that has been in business for more than a century. You can tour the plant process (crude pickling, mid-pickling, final pickling), taste-testing natural flavors without additives. (Call in advance.)
The pickled items are all magnificent, made by a craftsman using Japan's traditional fermentation technology. Very close to Iwakuni military base and Kintaikyo bridge.
