Ota Kyusuke Ginsei is a shop specializing in Kinzanji miso, a local delicacy of Yuasa. This traditional miso, dating back 750 years, is made from rice, barley, and soybeans, and includes vegetables like eggplant, ginger and shiso. The shop, reminiscent of old-fashioned businesses, is run by a husband and wife team who carefully craft their miso using time-honored techniques. Located a 10-minute walk from Yuasa Station, it offers a taste of authentic Japanese flavors. The shop operates from 9:00 to 18:00 and is closed on irregular days. It is located in the Kitamachi street, where traditional buildings are preserved.
