Notice
Gekkeikan Okura sake brewery, which we visit on our 3-hour sake tour, will be undergoing renovation from mid-November 2023 to the end of February 2024. Shopping will not be available at the brewery souvenir store during this period.
However, we will be able to visit the exhibition rooms, so our 3-hour tour will continue to visit here to discover the history and production of sake. Also you are able to buy bottles of local sake at our tasting room.
You will experience the same tour that we regularly have during the renovation.
