About this spot
An exchange facility where Fujii Sake Brewery, known for the renowned sake 'Ryusei' (龍勢), has opened a section of its brewery to the public. Within the brewery surrounded by thick, dark beams and white walls, you'll find sake tasting and sales counters as well as sake vessel and craft goods shops, allowing you to experience the dignified atmosphere of the historic sake brewery itself. Whether you enjoy comparative tastings to find your favorite sake or select sake vessels and Japanese craft items as souvenirs, the historic brewery space itself is a sight worth seeing, making this a worthwhile visit even for those who don't drink alcohol. Located within the Historic Preservation District, it's the perfect place to conclude your historical walk.
Tips
Those driving should refrain from tasting sake and instead purchase bottles to enjoy later at home. Ask to have your purchased bottles wrapped carefully to prevent breakage, and bringing a bag for transport provides peace of mind. The interior of the brewery is cool, so a cardigan or light jacket ensures comfort.
