Cheese in Japan Kyushu 🇯🇵
📍Nakashima Farm (cheese shop)
🗾 Saga prefecture, Kyushu Japan
Starting a series to introduce places to visit in Kyushu. Nakashima Farm is Japan's first producer of brown cheese. The cheese was exquisite and delicious.
Head over to this street a short 5 minute drive away where one of their cafes are. They offer milk-brewed coffee with freshly squeezed milk.
During my visit to Nakashima Farm in Saga Prefecture, I learned about the growing passion for artisanal cheese in Japan, especially in regions like Kyushu. Despite Japan’s strong tea culture, places like Nakashima Farm prove that high-quality, traditional cheese making is thriving here. The brown cheese offered is unlike anything I had tried before—its deep, caramelized flavor complements the softness perfectly. Interestingly, the farm’s commitment to keeping production local and authentic shines through every bite. I also recommend stopping by Milkbrew, just five minutes away, where their unique coffee brewed with freshly squeezed milk pairs wonderfully with the cheese. It’s a small but delightful experience that highlights the innovative ways Japanese producers are blending tradition with modern tastes. If you're exploring Kyushu, please consider visiting Nakashima Farm to see firsthand how Japan’s artisanal cheese market is evolving. Nearby attractions and premium outlets like Tosu Premium Outlets can make for a full day of travel and discovery.
