Final Souvenir Selection at the Brewery Once Called the "Sake-Making School"
About this spot
To conclude your day, visit Fukubiijin Sake Brewery, once known as the "Saijo Sake-Making School" where brewmasters from across the nation gathered to learn sake-making techniques. True to its name—evoking good fortune and beauty—the brewery is renowned for its signature "Fukubiijin" sake. The dignified white plaster walls of the brewing warehouse and red brick chimneys glow beautifully in the evening light. At the shop, you can taste sake while selecting a bottle that moved your heart from your tasting tour, along with sake lees and sake vessels as souvenirs—perfect for carrying home the memories of Saijo's flavors gathered over the day. Auspicious sake also makes a wonderful gift for family and friends. As you leave the brewery and walk through the brewery street once more at dusk before heading to the station, savor every last moment of the day's experience.
Tips
Buying multiple bottles can be heavy; check with the shop about parcel delivery services. Closing time approaches in the evening, so allow plenty of time for souvenir selection. The station is within walking distance, so check your train departure time in advance for peace of mind.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. The late afternoon, when slanting light bathes the namako walls and chimneys, offers especially beautiful photographic moments
