Located just a 5-minute walk from Karuizawa Station, Shinshu Ham Karuizawa Koubou combines a hands-on workshop with a specialty shop. Visitors can enjoy making handcrafted black pork sausages or shop for authentic ham and sausages, made using carefully selected ingredients and traditional German techniques.

The store offers over 20 varieties of ham and sausages, including exclusive products only available at Karuizawa Koubou. One of the highlights is the "Coarse-Ground Sausage (150g)", made with a blend of black pork and beef, seasoned with pepper for a rustic, hearty flavor. Another recommendation is the "Shirakaba Frank Trio (360g)", a set featuring coarse-ground, fine-ground, and herb-flavored sausages, perfect for gifts or home cooking.

Other must-try products include the "Karuizawa Loin Ham (630g)," which is carefully aged in a German rock salt brine, and the "Bone-In Spare Ribs (400g)," made from thick, rare cuts of domestic pork and expertly smoked for deep, rich flavor.
