宝泉寺温泉郷 HOSENJI ONSEN VILLAGE

This book is packed full of ‘essentials’, that are indispensable when talking about Oita. We hope this guide is a gateway for those unfamiliar with Oita, whether from Japan or abroad, offering insight into what Oita is really like among the many regions of Japan.

For locals or those acquainted with Oita, many of the places in the book may be familiar. However, by looking at them again with fresh eyes, you may discover new aspects and find yourself pleasantly surprised. We compiled this guide hoping to bring you moments of rediscovery and delightful new insights.

One of the charms of Oita, we feel, is that even in well-known tourist spots, the scenery reflects everyday life. The local inhabitants who live and breathe there, shine quietly, with their culture and daily activities becoming a natural extension of this scenery. The light and gentle breeze felt only on that day and at that moment, along with the conversations exchanged with locals or fellow visitors, forge, and build upon, a deeper and more meaningful connection between visitors and Oita.

The book contains only a slice of what Oita has to offer. We hope that the narratives behind each of the essentials featured will inspire readers to discover their own ways of appreciating and exploring Oita, developing a love for the region.

シャインマスカット（宇佐市）
SHINE MUSCAT / Usa city

SHINE MUSCAT / Usa city

Shine Muscat is a premium grape variety developed in Japan and enjoyed both domestically and internationally. In Oita Prefecture, Usa and Hita city are the major producers. The Ajimu area of Usa City in particular stands out as one of the largest production regions in Western Japan.
Shine Muscat’s high sugar content and low acidity are the highlight, and its sweetness is comparable to that of Kyoho grapes. Another feature is its firm pulp and that the whole skin is edible. It has a crunchy texture and sweet juice that fills the mouth.

It is in season from August to September. As time passes after harvest the stems turn brown, so a good indicator of freshness is to choose ones with thick, green stems. Shine Muscat with greenish skin are more aromatic, while those with yellowish skin are riper and have a deeper sweetness. To enjoy them to the max, why not choose one by flavour–profile and colour which suits your tastes?
