Sake brewery visits to world-renowned “Hourai”
The sake brewery visit is not a factory tour. Through hand-crafting techniques passed
down for generations, you’ll experience the site where true Japanese sake is crafted. The Watanabe Sake Brewery, a registered tangible cultural property, has been guarded by generations of head of the Watanabe family, and continues to remain a lively sake brewery where workers also live. In this real sake brewery not seen in typical sightseeing tours, the white-walled storehouses breathe and the wild yeast thrives in its natural environment. Be sure to take this opportunity to experience the Hida-Furukawa sake brewery, also recognized as a registered tangible cultural property.
