Sake Tour and Tasting in Kobe with a Sake Brewer

Enjoy a leisurely stroll through Uozaki, one of Nada's famous Five-Villages, to see the main sake brewing district. Along the way, we will pass the towering brewery of Sakura- Masamune and see Kenbishi, one of Japan's oldest breweries. Your guide will talk about the history and developments of this famous brewing region.

Kiku-Masamune was founded in 1659. Today they are famous for their continued use of traditional brewing techniques such as cask-aged sake (taruzake). Here you will visit the workshop where dedicated craftspeople still make these casks by hand (subject to availability). After the tour, we will get to sample some of this traditionally made sake.

Visit Nada's largest sake producer to learn about traditional brewing techniques. Your guide is an experienced sake brewer who will be on hand to show you around their interactive museum and explain the various tools and equipment on display. Free sake tasting is provided.

Enjoy an immersive sake tasting with your host at a former brewery site belonging to Kenbishi, one of Japan's oldest and most famous sake brands. We will sample three types of Kenbishi along with a complimentary snack. This is a unique location offering you the chance to enjoy sake in the same place it was once made.
