[Hokkaido] Recommended for mint lovers [Mint Distillery]

Mint Distillery, next to the Kitami Mint Memorial Museum

When you open the door, your heart will beat faster as you smell the wafting aroma of mint.

You can see the process by which mint farmers extract the oil, and historical distillation equipment and tools are on display. The process of making mint also has a long history, and I learned for the first time that there are Japanese and Western mints.

There are demonstrations every day here (from 10am to 3pm), so you're always surrounded by the aroma of mint...!

Inside, there are a variety of souvenirs made with mint that are only available in Kitami. You can buy mint oil, which can be used as an insect repellent or aroma, sweets combined with chocolate, and candies made with oil made at this distillery.

Mint that can only be found here, so mint lovers should definitely try it!
