Since it was the week of factory tours Greg decided that Saturday was the perfect day to visit the Orion Beer Factory in Nago. This beer is made here in Okinawa and is served at all fine drinking establishments. It's very refreshing and perfect for the delicate taste of sushi and quenching thirst on a 100 degree day. The factory tour was conducted in Japanese but they gave us a little brochure in English so we could follow along. As we walked through the factory I was amazed by how clean everything was. The brewery wasn't operating on Saturday so the line wasn't running, but they had a video to show how it looks when the beer bottles were being filled. The tour was fairly short and ended in a large tasting hall. Greg was given his free beer, while Gabriella and I opted for non alcoholic choices. Gabriella had some acerola juice while I had some delicious lemon tea. We also got a snack pack of mixed nuts. They had a nice gift shop where Gabriella got a cool little black pig and Greg got a nice bar towel. On the way back home we stopped off at Piccoli a small pizza place and had a quick pizza snack. It was deliciously made with completely fresh ingredients. The hours of the place are ridiculous, they are only open from noon to 3, last order at 2:30, then they reopen for dinner from 6-10, last order at 9. We barely made the 2:30 pm deadline for ordering. But the pizza was delicious and well worth the hurry.
