Meeting people like Aoki-san is one of my favorite things about living in the countryside outside Tokyo. Like many who grew up here on the Boso Peninsula, he left for Tokyo to make his living. Eventually though, he returned to his hometown, took over his family’s sushi shop, and then established a bar. He wanted to make use of local products to brew his own alcohol, and when he recalled eating locally grown sugarcane as a kid, he had a revelation to start this rum distillery.

The award-winning Boso Rum, or Rhum de la Peninsule de Boso is made from sugar cane grown here on the Boso Peninsula. It’s brewed at a distillery by Aoki-san, next to his family’s 150-year-old home.

You can find Boso Rum at spirit shops around Chiba and at michi-no-eki roadside stations in southern Chiba, like Green Farm Tateyama and Tomiura Biwa Club. For those passing through Tokyo Station, it’s sold at LIQUORS HASEGAWA in the Yaesu Underground Mall. Aoki-san has future plans to open a tasting room here at the distillery, and partners with a local hotel, Chikura Tsunagu Hotel to offer sugar cane harvesting experiences.

Here at Takabe Jinja, Japan’s only shrine dedicated to the God of Cooking, this Knife Ceremony, or Hōchōshiki, takes place three times per year. Last May, we witnessed Chef Hakushin Nagashima prepare a sea bream while adhering to this centuries-old ritual’s golden rule: he never touches the sacred fish with his hands, not even once. Since the hands are considered impure, the chef employs carefully choreographed maneuvers as to only touch the fish with a knife and chopsticks.

This ritual originated in the 9th century imperial court, but the history of how this shrine came to honor the god of cooking is said to date back 1,800 years, long drawing aspiring chefs and food makers to its hallowed grounds.

The ceremony is held every year on May 17, October 17, and November 23, so you still have two more chances to see it this year.

Takabe Shrine 高家神社

Suzusen is celebrating 100 years of making Maiwai, a regional Japanese craft from Chiba Prefecture. Thanks to fourth-generation artisan Riki-san, we can learn about the history of Maiwai and appreciate these works up close. Maiwai are jackets which are made using a textile dyeing art, and were once given by owners of fishing boats to their crew as a sort of bonus after a season of plentiful catches. At one time there were about 50 Maiwai dyeing studios here in Chiba, but now only a couple remain in operation. Please see Suzusen’s Instagram for info about their handcrafted goods and workshops: @suzusen1925
