It was full of koji! (I never thought ``Neigo (Amberjack Children)'' would be pickled in koji...)All the dishes had a very gentle flavor, probably due to the koji.Although the shochu made with the koji (called seed koji) produced here is not commercially available, it has a gentle and delicious taste that is difficult to describe. It doesn't seem like shochu (it's like high-end brandy)Definitely recommended!There is also a Slovakian (Czech?) beer factory attached, where you can taste some delicious beer.It's close to the airport and is a very interesting place.The problem was that it was a double bed, so it was too small for two people to sleep together.

The hotel room had clean air flowing through it, and although it was small, it was a very relaxing and nice room. The sauna and bathtub are clean and you can drink delicious water, which is great.Along with delicious beer and alcoholic drinks, the menu has a variety of fermentation-related items to satisfy your curiosity.After all, I think what sets this apart from regular hotels is the staff.We have employees who are professionals in koji who are also involved in the development of koji products, and they are happy to answer any questions you may have about fermentation, and it's a lot of fun to talk to them.Throughout, it was a wonderful hotel that healed both mind and body!!I would love to go again.

I was very impressed with the concept and food. However, the smell of the towels and pajamas in the guest room (maybe detergent or fabric softener) was too strong. Even though it's a fermented hotel, why does it smell like chemicals? It made me feel sick. I want to go again but I can't. I want you to study. disappointing...

Despite its convenient location close to the airport, the hotel was located on a large, peaceful and quiet site with plenty of greenery.The shochu made here exclusively for guests, the freshly brewed craft beer, and the pigs and eggs raised with care using safe and secure feed made with koji are delicious and heartwarming.A clean and comfortable hotel with great care, including the bath, bedding, and towels.A morning walk in the clear air is special.You can feel beautiful both physically and mentally!The shio-koji cream puff made with freshly laid eggs will be provided upon arrival and will make you happy the moment you put it in your mouth.

A cute hotel that recreates a Czech townscape. You can enjoy the koji foods of Kawachi Genichiro Shopping Street. The interior of the hotel is of the highest quality, with careful attention to detail produced by Yuriko Otani. Try out the duvet used by Antarctic research teams!

Our commitment to being kind to people is evident in everything from the beds, duvets, and bath towels.The tour of the koji brewery made me want to incorporate more koji into my daily life.The food used plenty of koji and was very delicious.The cream puffs are so delicious that you will be amazed. Limited editions are sold daily. Hurry up.

Had a really wonderful experience at this hotel. The staff were so kind and welcoming and everyone had deep knowledge about koji and fermentation. I learned so much about the history and study of koji and of course its use in traditional japanese foods. It was truly fascinating. The bath and sauna were also excellent and the room was simple and very comfortable.

This was my second stay, and I was more than satisfied with my expectations. The welcome sweets cream puffs were exquisite. The bathrooms are clean, and the food and drinks are pretty good. It's delicious. Since we are a long-established koji manufacturer, you can enjoy meals made with koji that are both healthy and have beauty effects.Repeat as if you were going home to new relatives.
