A Guide To Visiting Sake Breweries in Japan

Table of contents.

We can all raise a glass and kampai to the good news that travel restrictions have started to ease in Japan. Packaging your bags may be too soon, but it’s a great time to start planning your next trip . But remember, for a sake lover, no trip to Japan is complete without checking out a sake brewery (“sakagura”).

Reasons to visit

Here are my top reasons to visit a sake brewery, some resources to start planning and some personal recommendations on where to go for the undecided.

Reason 1: Craftsmanship

Premium sake is made with a high degree of skill and care. Knowing this is one thing, but seeing the process at work is humbling to behold, and deepens one’s appreciation for the people who turn rice, water, yeast and koji into delicious sake.

Many “toji,” or master brewers, will insist that they are still perfecting their craft even after decades of brewing. They often oversee crucial parts of the brewing process, such as “shinseki” (rice soaking) with intense focus and a stopwatch in hand.

Reason 2: Architecture and experience

Making your way through a sakagura is a sensory journey, from the warm, comforting scent of steaming rice rising to the rafters, to the inviting nutty notes creeping from the koji room, and the ever-changing subtle aromas of the fermenting sake. Whoever said “There’s nothing like the smell of baked bread,” never made it to a sake brewery!

All hands are on deck when it comes to pressing super-premium daiginjo sake. | Photo by Domenic Alonge.

Visually, the traditional architecture adds another dimension to the experience. Many breweries still use centuries-old buildings featuring traditional construction techniques. In the Saijo brewing district of Hiroshima, “namako kabe,” an Edo-era textured pattern of blue and white plaster, skirts the lower sections of the exterior walls of many sakagura. Inside some older breweries, bare wooden beams are bound with intricate joinery forming an arch above the tall tanks of fermenting sake. After a few sips in the tasting room, you may feel as if you have traveled back in time!

Exposed beams and antiquated equipment are still on display in some breweries. | Photo by Domenic Alonge.

Reason 3: Japan-only sake

Craft beer fans know that a brewery visit gives you access to brews that might not travel outside the local neighborhood. The brews at the two extremes of the sake spectrum — bold and rich “koshu” (aged sake) with its amber hues; and fresh, bright and effervescent “nama” (unpasteurized) sake — tend to be more readily available at the brewery, often served by the very people who make it. Fill up that suitcase for the return trip!

If you’re lucky, you might be served by a master brewer. | Photo by Domenic Alonge.

Finding a brewery to visit and making an appointment

Sake breweries are production centers first. Understandably, some don’t accept visitors. Some have a tasting room and shop, but some might not. Some offer complete tours and tastings for free. Others charge a small fee for the experience. With this in mind, it is highly recommended that you plan ahead using the resources below and make reservations where required.

Independent travelers can begin planning a trip through the Sakagura Tourism website, maintained by the Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association. Breweries all around Japan are listed in English and are searchable by region and by name. Particularly helpful is the “Tour Available” icon that tells you whether or not you can expect a tour of the facilities and if there is a charge for the tour. Also helpful, the site indicates if there is English spoken at the brewery.

Guided sake tours

For travelers with no Japanese language skills or who desire a more curated experience, there are tour companies that arrange and guide you on tours of breweries as well.

Kyoto Insider Sake Experience offers a variety of tours and tastings in and around Kyoto.

Saketours.com offers multi-day, all-inclusive and immersive package tours incorporating brewery visits with gourmet meals and special access to regional food producers and artisans. It is run by well-respected and knowledgeable sake industry professionals who focus on memorable and under-the-radar sake and cultural experiences.

And finally, for travelers who wish for some guidance but may want to explore at their own pace, I recommend Jim Stewart ’ s Japan: Sake Breweries of Tokyo, Kyoto and Kobe. This book has general travel advice, history and background on breweries, and hand-drawn maps to get to you from train station to brewery. The author also has recommendations for restaurants and sake shops nearby.

What to expect

Sake breweries prioritize a sanitary environment. You may be asked to suit up! | Photo by Domenic Alonge.

When the day of your visit finally arrives, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Dress warmly in winter. Bring an extra layer in summer. Sake ferments at low temperatures and breweries are not heated.
• To avoid microbial contamination, brewers often ask that visitors do not eat natto (fermented soybeans) or yogurt prior to their visit, or wear perfume or cologne.
• Always ask before taking photos of any brewery operations or staff.

10 recommended brewery visits

Here are 10 recommended breweries to visit that offer fun, educational and unique experiences.

Ishikawa Brewery (Tokyo)

Photo by Hayataro Sakitsu .

Off the beaten path and about 40 minutes from Shinjuku by train, this brewery has traditional architecture and an adjoining restaurant as well as a garden in which to enjoy some sake. Brewing sake since 1863, they welcome guests to tour year round and the website makes it easy to arrange a visit.

Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum (Kyoto)

This is a must-see destination for any sake lover visiting Kyoto. Gekkeikan is home to a museum showcasing the history of sake brewing and culture in Fushimi, with an impressive collection of older sake brewing equipment. The best part is that no reservations are required for small parties to visit.

Fujioka Brewing Company (Kyoto)

Fifth-generation owner and head brewer Masaaki Fujioka is on a relentless pursuit to source the best ingredients to brew his sake under the Sookuu label. He reopened his family brewery after a seven-year closure and brews exquisite sake from rice he himself grows. This small brewery has its own sake bar called Sake Bar EN where you can have the memorable experience of sipping the sake as you watch it being made!

Daimon Brewing Company (Osaka)

If you find yourself in Osaka, you must visit Daimon, makers of one of my favorite nigori sake. The centuries-old house and garden that adjoin the brewery set the mood as you enter Daimon Brewing Company. Tour the brewery, taste their versatile and impeccable sake, then enjoy a farm-to-table meal featuring local cuisine under the exposed wooden beam roof at the upstairs restaurant, Mukune Tei. Special English language tours are available.

Izumibashi Brewing Company (Kanagawa)

While I have never visited this brewery personally, it is at the top of my list to visit because they grow their own rice. Izumibashi is a must for anyone who wants to see sake making from field to bottle. A visit to this brewery includes a walk through their own rice fields, sake tasting and local snacks. I can't imagine a better way to spend an afternoon!

Kumazawa Brewing Company (Kanagawa)

Courtesy of Kumazawa Brewing Company.

While no tour is available, Kumazawa Brewing Company is still a destination for sake lovers and foodies alike. The brewery houses two restaurants and a cafe where you can try all kinds of food paired with their sake. Make sure to try Mokichi Trattoria, where you can follow the toji’s recommendation and pair their sake with pizza! Not only do they make delicious sake with a gentle minerality, they also brew craft beer. Visitors can also try their sake brewed with local rice from Chigasaki and proprietary yeast. Shop Kumazawa sake at Tippsy and read our exclusive interview with their toji about the brewery’s Tensei series.

Choryo Brewing Company (Nara)

Photo by Rina Liggett.

Nara prefecture is perhaps more intricately linked to the history of sake brewing than any other place in Japan, so if you’re in Nara, why not visit a sake brewery? Choryo Brewing Company is passionate about their process, but still offers visitors a casual experience. Their recently opened Brew Park combines two of my favorite things: sake and nature. Enjoy their sake and beer in the open air while munching on food from a visiting food truck. If you visit during the spring, you’ll be able to bask in the cherry blossoms in the park as well. Shop Choryo sake at Tippsy and read our exclusive interview with their sales manager about “taru sake” (sake stored in wooden vats).

Suehiro Brewing Company (Fukushima)

Courtesy of Suehiro Brewing Company.

Visitors to Fukushima prefecture in search of sake should consider a stop at Suehiro Brewing Company, which was voted “the most fun sake brewery to visit” by one of Japan’s well-known newspapers. The grounds feature the original structure built in 1873 — constructed without a single nail — which remains unaltered to this day. Subject to pandemic restrictions, visitors may be able to take part in a free tasting upon their visit. Please contact the brewery before visiting to confirm. Shop Suehiro sake at Tippsy and read about the brewery’s philosophy in our exclusive interview with their brewery president.

Suigei Brewing Company (Kochi)

Photo by Domenic Alonge.

In 2018, Suigei Brewing Company opened their new, high-end brewing facility to welcome sake lovers from around the world. Although currently on pause, the brewery hopes to resume tours and tasting sessions at their sleek new production facility under their motto, “Enjoy sake life.” Start your day by sampling their elegant daiginjo collection before heading out for a night on the town to enjoy more Suigei sake with the local delicacy of katsuo tataki (seared and seasoned skipjack tuna). Shop Suigei sake at Tippsy and watch our tasting video for Suigei “Tokubetsu Junmai.”

Kobe Shushinkan (Hyogo)

Courtesy of Kobe Shushinkan.

Kobe Shushinkan offers multilingual resources to visitors who take a brewery tour, including videos and leaflets in English. Reservations are required, but the experience is worth it. You will be able to tour the production facility and finish with a sake tasting free of charge. More sake is brewed in this historic part of Kobe than anywhere else in Japan. If you’re passing through, this place is a must-see. Shop Kobe Shushinkan sake at Tippsy and watch our tasting video for Fukuju “Blue.”

Deepen your understanding of sake

Regardless of which brewery you choose to visit, you are sure to have an experience that stays with you whenever and wherever you raise a glass of sake. It will surely deepen your appreciation for the best beverage in the world.

Tanaka Sake Brewing Co., Ltd.

Low volume, high quality and a unique style.

Opened in 1899, Tanaka Sake Brewing is Otaru’s only sake brewery.

The brewery makes only junmai (pure rice) sake, and all of the rice used is grown locally in Hokkaido.

The concept of tema-hima , cycles of meticulous work and plenty of time for fermentation, is central in the company’s brewing process, and every last detail is taken care of. With small production volumes, sales are mainly direct to consumers—the majority of stock is sold in the brewery’s own store and other stores in Otaru. Through collaborations with farmers and communities around Hokkaido, Tanaka Sake Brewing creates special regional products made with rice from those regions, among other projects to raise the profile of local communities.

Mizunara Oak Cask Smoky Junmai Sake: Hokkaido No. 1

500ml/¥2,200 (including tax)

Rice: 100% Hokkaido-grown rice Rice-polishing ratio (%): Undisclosed Sake meter value (+-): Undisclosed

Delicious talk from Mama Heidi's

Mizunara oak cask smoky junmai sake: hokkaido no. 1 mmmm, what a luxurious taste a full-bodied drink for a sophisticated experience.

The moment it enters your mouth, the rich fragrance of the cask wafts up and creates a sense of luxury. If you chill it well, you get a refreshing aftertaste. Sip it slowly and enjoy that great aroma and the way the robust taste of the rice lingers. I tried it with cheese and it was amazing! I felt very classy. It's also good with chocolate and raisins. If you're looking for sake that's a little out of the ordinary, look no further!

• Visit a Sake Brewery in the Heart of Kanazawa

See how sake is made, then savor the product at historic Fukumitsuya Sake Brewery

Anyone looking to wet their whistle with a sip of Japan's signature beverage should plan a stop at the Fukumitsuya Sake Brewery. Conveniently located in Kanazawa's traditional city center, this historic brewery has been producing sake since 1625. The sake they brew with time-honored techniques passed down through the generations has long been treasured by residents of Kanazawa, as well as by sake fans far and wide. Check it out for yourself during a tasting at the brewery.

Kanazawa is blessed with pristine and abundant water, flowing from Mt. Hakusan, then and being filtered underground for over 100 years. With this water, together with premium sake rice, yeast, and koji (a mold used in the fermentation process), Fukumitsuya brews only junmai (pure rice) sake, the absence of additives ensuring a clear, rich taste.

Visit during the brewing season from November to March and you can take a guided tour of the brewery, giving you an inside look at the fascinating process by which sake is brewed. Tastings are available year-round; if you're not the drinking type, the brewery store also offers a range of healthful food and non-alcoholic beverage items, along with skin care products making full use of the power of fermentation.

Fukumitsuya has another gift shop in the city that sells not only sake, but foods created by fermentation and cosmetics made from sake.

Access: From Tokyo Station, take the Hokuriku Shinkansen bullet train to Kanazawa Station (about two hours 30 minutes), then take Hokutetsu Bus No. 12 to the Kodatsuno stop (about 13 minutes). The brewery is a one-minute walk from there.
