Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Museum

Overview

Overview

Kobe, particularly the Nada District, has long been a sake-brewing center of Japan, with the Hakutsuru brewery as a dominant presence. The Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Museum, operated by the Hakutsuru company, teaches visitors just about everything there is to know about sake, including the 2,000-year-plus history of the beverage, traditional sake-making methods, the modern brewing process and tasting hints for enjoying sake.

The museum occupies two floors of a former Hakutsuru brewery and features several live-size dioramas showing the steps in the traditional brewing process. At the end of a free self-guided tour (brochures are available in English), guests enjoy free samples of the sake from the new Hakutsuru brewery across the street in the museum shop.
