So by far the most asked question I get from you guys is when is the best time to visit Japan.

經常有人會問，什麼時候是造訪日本的最佳季節？

程度副詞

It’s a pretty easy question for me to answer because the best time to visit by far, is

對我來說，這個問題實在太簡單了。

late September to early November in autumn in the fall.

9月下旬到11月上旬的秋天來日本最好。

But rather than just talk about it, we’re going to show you today what makes autumn

百聞不如一見。今天我就帶大家去看看距離仙台只有30分鐘，

so special by going out and staying at a thousand-year old hot spring resort about thirty minutes

有1000年以上歷史的溫泉鄉，實際體會一下日本的秋天是多麼美麗。

今天仍然是亮太郎，一個非比尋常的司機給我們帶路。

We’re joined as always by our incredible chauffeur Ryotaro who’s gonna show us around.

司機這個稱呼跟非同尋常也不相稱吧？

So what, you said incredible chauffeur. Somehow incredible and chauffeur doesn’t go together.

我的意思是說，你是個好司機。

You’re a good chauffeur. You’re good at what you do.

司機有什麼好與不好？你的意思我明白，總之我就只是一個司機，對不對？

There’s is no good or bad chauffeur. A chauffeur is a fucking chauffeur for fuck sake all right.

言歸正傳，今天我們先去Nikka(日菓)威士忌釀酒廠。

Anyway, first we’re going to visit the Nikka whiskey distillery.

日本只有兩家這樣的工廠，其中一家就是在仙台這裡。

There are only two Nikka distilleries, and one of them is here in Sendai.

然後我們要去兩年前剛剛開業的，宮城縣唯一的一家葡萄酒廠。

And then, after that we are going to visit a winery that is the only winery here in Miyagi

但是我今天要開車，不能喝了。

沒錯，這是非比尋常的司機的遺憾喔。

亮太郎今天不能喝酒。今天只有我一個人喝。

See, that’s the downside of being an incredible chauffeur. No drink for Ryotaro today, but

溫泉、威士忌、葡萄酒、大量的酒精

we can drink and when I say “we” I mean I can drink.

喝大量的酒，酒後泡溫泉，我感覺這是想殺了我吧。

Hot springs, whiskey, wine and yes, that’s a lot of alcohol.

我不僅喜歡Nikka威士忌的酒，還喜歡它的logo。

I sense another disturbing plan to have me killed by alcohol consumption and hot springs.

一個留鬍子的蘇格蘭人，像這種感覺的蘇格蘭人我還真的見過好幾次。

But I'm not going to complain because that is a pretty good way to die.

這家工廠最棒的在於可以直接試喝。

I think my favorite thing about Nikka whiskey other than the taste is the logo which is

a Scottish guy with a beard. I mean I’ve met people from Scotland and they do look

But the good thing about the distillery is you can actually try the whisky

and we're going to be doing a tasting session in a minute.

是的，25個。就是說除了這個，還有24個。假設每個建築裡有100個桶，那麼一共就有2500個。

你算的好快。這裡有點像地下儲藏室啊。

And they’ve got 25 storage buildings like this.

當然。至少要存放12年，或更長的時間。

Yes, 25 ! So there’s 1 here and 24 more. And 100 X 25 = 2500 barrels.

想到這些桶會被發往世界各地，再被倒入某一個杯子，真令人感慨萬千啊。

It’s good maths. It’s like a vault, a giant vault or something. But it has to be

要放鬆心情，靜靜地喝一杯威士忌。

Yeah, obviously. You know many of them stay here for like 12 years. Maybe older than that.

It’s cool to think, all these barrels will one day in glasses around the world.

People relaxing over a quiet drink in the evening.

像裝潢秀麗的大堂啊。看來我今天要喝醉了。

喝威士忌，這是我今天做的第一件事。

接著，喝葡萄酒。之後，晚餐在溫泉旅館喝日本酒。

It’s like a seminar room that looks very very good.

上次拍影片時，差一點膽固醇過高致死，這次要酒精中毒而死了。

曾經參訪過很多次日本酒藏，都感覺了無生趣。

大多是被帶到一個昏暗的房間，

介紹說「日本酒就是在這裡進行釀製的」，如此等等。

但是剛才到訪的地方不太一樣。

可以試飲，像亮太郎這樣不能喝酒的人也可以聞聞酒香。擺放著很多酒桶的房間也很驚人。

This is the first thing we’ve done today right?

喜歡喝威士忌的話，一定不要錯過。

Drinking whisky, we’re going to a winery, we’re going to drink sake during

dinner then we’re going to an onsen where I’m gonna drown just by drinking so much alcohol.

威士忌喝多了，有點醉了，我擔心進行有點困難了。

I’ve been on a lot of sake brewery tours over the years, I always find them very boring really.

They just take you into a dark room and go

秋保葡萄酒廠於2015年由當地建築師兼企業家毛利親房先生創建。

親房先生看到他參與建設的建築被海嘯吞沒，

But that. That was really good. The tasting session was amazing, the smelling of whisky

遭受了巨大的破壞，便想到要為這個地區的復興做貢獻。

if you can’t drink like Ryotaro. And the room with all the barrels was pretty awesome as well.

宮城有許多美食，但是沒有優質的葡萄酒。

It’s a really good tour. Highly recommend it if you’re into whisky.

親房先生注意到這一點，便開始著手建設宮城縣的第一家葡萄酒廠。

And now, it’s time for some wine which is going to be a difficult thing to do given

據說選擇秋保的原因是這裡的氣候。

從周圍山谷裏吹來的清風，非常適合種植優質的葡萄

It doesn’t seem like a safe thing to do.

Akiu winery was started in 2015 by local architect and entreprenuer, Chikafusa Mori.

在東京舉行的日本第一屆蘋果酒大賽“富士蘋果酒挑戰賽”中獲過獎。

In the aftermath of the devastating tsunami, when Chikafsua saw buildings he’d constructed

washed away by the sea, he felt moved to help the region recover.

作為一個開業僅一兩年的釀酒廠，我認為是很棒的。

He noticed that while the region had an abundance of great food, it lacked any good local wine,

and thus set about designing and building the first winery in the whole of Miyagi prefecture.

是蘋果，我們使用的是鹽選過的最好的蘋果。

He chose Akiu for having an ideal climate, with the valley bringing in fresh mountain

However, upon arrival, to my delight I discover he’s also selling cider

說到底就是品質管理比什麼都重要。聽起來像那麼回事，其實我什麼都不知道。

which is usually disturbingly rare in Japan and I leap at the chance to sample it.

So this cider actually won an award earlier this year in Japan’s first cider competition.

威士忌和蘋果酒在身體裏翻湧。這個組合感覺不是很好。

秋保是著名的溫泉街，傳統的日本旅館鱗次櫛比，庭園的設計別具一格。

This one, the Dolce, won the silver award, and the Brute won the bronze and that’s

今天要去訪問的旅館也不例外。

pretty impressive considering you guys have only been going a year or two now.

What’s the secret to your cider success?

這裡的庭園與旅館融為一體，非常優美。

- The secret is we are using the best apples.

不僅有竹林、小溪，還能看到鯉魚在池塘游動。

為了觀賞美麗的楓葉，到了秋天，來自各地的遊客絡繹不絕，

春天來則可以看很漂亮的櫻花。

It’s all about quality control right. I’m talking like I know what I am talking about

我想我明白為什麼住宿的客人喜歡從房間的窗口眺望庭園。

but I don’t. I am just enjoying the cider.

漫步在庭園內，欣賞著美麗的風景，讓思緒平靜安寧，並從中直接感受到季節的魅力。

I am currently just full of whisky and cider which isn’t a good mix of things to have.

這裡是今天我們住的房間。非常好。這個房間在旅館的11樓，

So Akiu is a hot spring resort and what you find is a lot of Japanese Ryokans

可以將秋保的街道風貌盡收眼底，景色宜人。

or traditional inns. They put a lot of effort into their gardens and this is no exception.

作為一個旅館的房間這裡已經相當大了。

This a hotel called Ryoku Tsuite. And they’ve got this magnificent sprawling garden built

通常都是一個單人房，或者只有一個房間。我個人覺得很新鮮。

當我住在旅館時，我通常蓋著被子睡，但是當我早晨起來的時候，卻睡在地板上，這種情況經常發生。

Filled with bamboo forests, streams, and rivers filled with koi carps. It’s really popular

可是你們看，這個房間竟然備有床，還是兩張。這一次，

to come here in autumn and just enjoy the colours.

And also in spring as well during cherry blossom season.

。太棒了，亮太郎的打呼聲實在是很糟糕。這張桌子也很好。

And you can see why people are by the windows at the hotel looking out across the garden.

可以在此坐著眺望外面的風景。

It really is a beautiful place to just walk through, relax and take in the seasons.

So into the hotel room. We are on the 11th storey of the ryokan.

綠水亭的溫泉與河流是連結的。

So we’ve got some beautiful sweeping views of Akiu.

It’s pretty big actually, this is pretty big for a ryokan room. Usually, I just get

這裡的景色是我以往從旅館看到的風景中屬於頂級的。非常漂亮。

like the one room. But, today…come in here.

還有一個小時才開飯，但是我有些餓了，

Usually when I stay in a ryokan, I get a futon. I end up sleeping on the floor.

就瞞著亮太郎到羅森便利商店買了點吃的東西。

啊，忘了給大家看看這個了。這是房間鑰匙。

And also there are two, I’d like to point out Ryotaro has his own room so he’s not

超大。看見沒有？這麼大。感覺會在「沉默之丘」裡出現，好厲害。

going to be in here thankfully because he snores. It’s horrible.

A nice table here where I can sit and relax and enjoy the view and in fact, this ryokan

has an onsen hot spring that is built into the river down below, which we’re going

to check out later which I’m looking forward to.
