Experience Details
Japanese sake (rice wine), also known as nihonshu, is an aspect of Japan food culture that gets a lot of attention, with sake brewers taking immense pride in the work that they do. If you have ever been curious about how Japanese people make this delicious drink, then the Toshimaya Shuzo Sake Brewery Tour is perfect for you. During this sake brewery tour, you will visit Toshimaya Shuzo, a brewery that was established in 1596, and even uses spring water from Mt. Fuji to make some varieties of sake. It is one of the oldest sake breweries in Tokyo, the perfect place to learn about the long history of Japanese sake. As you tour the brewery, your local guide will help you understand the process of making sake, from start to finish.
After that, ready yourself to partake in an all-you-can-drink sake tasting and pairing with special fermated snacks such as sakekasu (sake less) cheese. Compare their flavors, learning about how the various factors (like type of rice used, rice polishing ratios, filtration techniques, terroir and regional characteristics) influence the final product. Taste different types of sake, like junmai sake, origarami sake, and mirin. You can also always ask the local guide if you have questions.
