  • Enjoy the “deep world of sake” in Kyoto Fushimi, Hyogo Nada, Niigata, and Hiroshima

    Japan's leading sake producing areas, Fushimi in Kyoto, Nada Gogo in Hyogo, Saijo in Hiroshima, as well as Echigo Yuzawa in Niigata and Shonai in Yamagata, which are known for their famous snowy sake, still have many sake breweries where craftsmanship and tradition are still alive.

    During the sake brewery tour,

    • clear brewing water
    • Rice sorting and washing
    • Making koji
    • Tour of fermentation tanks
    • Squeezing and aging process

    You can learn about the story behind the creation of a bottle of sake, accompanied by commentary from the brewers.

    After the tour, enjoy tastings of freshly pressed undiluted sake, Junmai Daiginjo, seasonal sake, and barrel sake, all of which can only be tasted at the brewery. You can enjoy the profound depth of sake while feeling the differences in the sake's aroma, flavor, and crispness.

    Some breweries also offer programs for deeper learning, such as sake tasting, sake vessel selection, and tasting sweets and fermented dishes made with sake lees.

    Enjoy the special experience of "tasting sake in the place where it is made," surrounded by the air and aroma of fermentation in a historic brewery.
