There have opened our old sake brewhouse in its original form to the public as the Sake Brewery Museum.
Our hope in doing so is to give visitors a feel of the tradition of sake making that has been carried down through the ages and to broadly and deeply convey the "heart of Japan" to the sake making world.
There is a tasting corner and a shop where you can buy alcohol and souvenirs in the same building, where you can have your first taste.
