The Hamafukutsuru Sake Brewery gives you a clear view, through glass, of how present-day sake comes into being, and all the processes involved. It may not be the only place you can see the brewing in action, but the stand-out appeal here is the chance to observe the moromi (starter mash) being prepared. After the genuine hands-on experience with traditional brewing techniques, why not retire to the calmness of the tasting corner, where sampling of fresh refined and squeezed sake is on the house. And don’t leave without a souvenir of sake produced on-site, or other original goods.
