Overview

Our sake brewery tour stands out with its focus on the traditional wooden barrel brewing technique, a rarity in modern sake production. You'll experience an exclusive 40-minute tasting session featuring unique sake varieties not commonly found in the market, each meticulously brewed in these historic barrels. The tour is deepened by a cultural immersion, with tastings held in a traditional Japanese setting using local Hanno pottery. A distinctive aspect is the pairing of sake with nuts seasoned in locally-made soya sauce from wooden barrels, offering a flavour experience unlike any other. Additionally, the opportunity to interact with the Toji, or Master Brewer, adds an educational dimension to the tour, providing insights into the art and science of sake brewing. To commemorate your visit, you'll receive a bespoke souvenir crafted from Nishikawa wood, capturing the essence of this unique and enriching journey through Japan's sake brewing heritage.
