- In 1924, the first-generation Kakuo Yokoyama founded a sake brewery and shochu distillery on Iki Island, Nagasaki Prefecture. On this island, the birthplace of barley shochu, they cultivated rice and barley, continuing to produce Iki barley shochu for over 400 years. However, in 1990 (Heisei 2), due to the aging of the master brewer and financial difficulties, the production of sake was discontinued. Twenty-five years later, determined to revive sake brewing on Iki Island, the family studied sake brewing for about five years at a sake brewery in Yamaguchi Prefecture. In 2018, they built a sake brewery on Iki Island, bringing sake back to the island after approximately 28 years. With the concept of crafting the first cup of sake to resonate globally, they continue to share Japan's national drink with the world. Starting in 2024, they began cultivating Gin no Sato, a sake rice variety suited to Kyushu's climate, on the island. They plan to feed sake lees to Iki cattle, return the resulting compost to the rice fields as fertilizer, and establish a circular farming system for rice cultivation starting in 2026.

地元おすすめの飲食店
It is an excellent restaurant that serves Iki beef and Iki seafood grilled on an iron plate.
The restaurant serves sashimi, seafood rice bowls, sushi, simmered and grilled dishes, and other dishes made from carefully selected fish and shellfish caught in the waters around the island, which can be served with Iki sake and shochu. This is a great restaurant for fish lovers.
After training at a famous sushi restaurant in Tokyo for over 7 years, he opened his own sushi restaurant in Nagasaki City on March 21, 2023. The owner, who is from Iki and has a sincere character, is particular about not only the ingredients but also the rice, and offers sushi that you can be sure of. Please visit us.
This is a restaurant where you can eat plenty of seafood from the seas around Iki. Anyway, the sushi is delicious! The costuming is also quite good! The best thing to do is to order the owner's special order of snacks that go well with sake.
My brother is a sea eel fisherman. The younger brother is a sushi chef. Together, they make the best sea eel dishes in Tsushima! Ask for the omakase (omakase is a special order) for the sea eel dishes. You will definitely be satisfied!
"He Who Blurs the Lines" refers to that moment between night and morning when the contours of things shimmer and the world appears transformed. He Who Blurs the Lines creates nameless time that rises between the ordinary and the extraordinary. Leave the city, cross the sea, eat and stay on Iki Island. Within this sequence of experiences, human senses and the distance between people gradually unravel. It's not about perfectly curated service, but embracing nature, chance, and the space in between. I believe it's precisely this time, with its inherent uncertainty, that becomes a memorable experience. You can enjoy a space of the extraordinary.
Umakan-sama offers sashimi and simmered dishes prepared from fresh fish caught that very day by the proprietor himself, who personally goes out fishing by boat. They also serve a selection of renowned sake from across Japan, paired with Iki ingredients such as Iki beef and asparagus. We especially recommend trying the seared Iki beef.
地元おすすめの宿
We have rooms with a view of the island's ocean, and our representative, Mr. Yoshida himself, is our chef. The food is also excellent.
As the most exclusive inn on the island, the food is just superb. Rooms with a view of the ocean have the best sunsets.
Built in a location with an incredible night view of Nagasaki City, the restaurant offers a variety of Japanese and Western cuisine that is sure to please. The restaurant has a sense of being integrated into the natural surroundings, making you forget about the passage of time. We highly recommend a stay in Nagasaki City.
