A visit to a Japanese sake brewery is a must when traveling to the Kansai region. Kobe's Nada district is the place with the highest production of sake in Japan, and there are about 30 breweries in an area called “Nadagogo,” which spans 24 km east to west. The history of sake brewing dates back to around 1330. Speaking of “Nada no Sake,” it is so famous that it appears in classical rakugo, and Nada is blessed with various conditions suitable for sake brewing. Hard water containing a lot of minerals called “Miyamizu,” the production area of “Yamada Nishiki,” famous as the “king of sake rice,” and “Rokko grated rice,” blows down from Mt. Rokko, is cold and brings the perfect climate for sake brewing. On this tour, you'll be taken to 3-4 selected breweries to sample more than 15 types of sake. A guide familiar with Japanese sake and the Nada area will guide you to the deep world of Japanese sake.

1:30PM 1st brewery
Established in 1751, the liquor store owner is a 13th generation. There is a full-fledged and rich variety of Japanese sake, including “Junmai Ginjo” that was served 5 times at the Nobel Prize banquet. In the souvenir corner, there are abundant items such as snacks, deep-fried rice, and soup. We recommend that you purchase souvenirs to bring home to your loved ones. Optionally, there is a paid tasting counter, and you can enjoy popular sake 300 yen per cup and the highest class drip-pressed sake for about 1,500 yen per 45ml cup.
2:30PM 2nd brewery
With a 250 year old history, this is one of the smallest brewery in Nada area. The production volume is as small as 40,000 bottles of 1.8 L each per year. They are a high-quality brand that is famous all over Japan, even though the production scale is small. We will taste unpasteurized-sake, which can only enjoyed in Japan.
*Please note that this brewery is closed on weekends, but we will arrange to visit another brewery.
The biggest brewery in Japan! You will walk along huge sake tank, and get into sake museum. Let’s wear happi, half size Japanese cloth, take photo for memory.
4:00PM 4th brewery
With 63 years of experience, the final and last brewery that we will visit features a sake master who’s become a symbol to this brewery. While making traditional, high quality sake, it’s also taking a new innovative and creative route. For example, they produce sake using Whiskey production methods, by utilizing American Oak. Using Sherry wine barrels imported from France, this brewery ages the sake with it. They also came up with the idea of mixing sake and Chardonnay, giving this new beverage a very refreshing twist. It will change the way you see sake. This is also optional, there is a paid tasting counter where you can enjoy small cheese platter from top dairy cattle raised in Mt. Rokko.
*Please note that this brewery is closed on Mondays, but we will arrange to visit another brewery.
