Aohata Jam Deck (アヲハタジャムデッキ)

Not too far from the island of Okunoshima in the Tadanoumi neighborhood of mainland Takehara lies Aohata Jam Deck, a facility where visitors can learn about the jam production process and try their hand at a jam-making experience. As Aohata is one of the jam manufacturers with a lion’s share in the domestic jarred jam market, those who participate in the workshop–which is conjoined with the factory–have the opportunity to make low-sugar jam, a product uncommon in the Western world. Besides the factory and workshop, there is also a café where diners can sip on juice made from Setoda tangerines–from which jam is also made–squeezed whole, as well as a gift shop lined with Aohata jam products.
