Factory tour and tasting at Kimi-no-i Shuzo Sake Brewery
Small Groups
About 1 hour
Kimi-no-i Shuzo sake brewery has over many years been the recipient of multiple gold awards at various national sake competitions. Established in 1842, it is located in the Arai-juku on the Hokkoku Kaido Highway - a historically very important road where rice, salt, seafood, and Sado gold were transported in the Edo Period. The heavy snowfall in the area creates natural refrigerating conditions, while the ancient, sacred Mt. Myoko provides clean underground water - making Arai an ideal location for brewing sake. Please enjoy this visit to the Kimi-no-i Shuzo factory and appreciate the taste of sake blessed by nature.
► This wonderful facility, which has appeared many times on Japanese TV, has endured over 100 years of great snowfalls. See the staff dining hall that was used by kurabito (brewery workers) many years ago, and the old tools still used in the sake creation process.
► Free tasting of 2 recommended sakes from Kimi-no-i Shuzo.
► Take home the bull’s eye ochoko sake cup as a souvenir.
