  • If you're new to sake, why not begin your sake journey at Funasaka Brewery? More than just a brewery, Funasaka is like a theme park dedicated to Japanese sake. The facility includes a restaurant and bar converted from the original brewery, offering a unique atmosphere. They also sell plum and yuzu liqueurs, as well as sweets and cosmetics made with sake, allowing you to enjoy sake in many different forms. Funasaka Brewery is the perfect place to discover a modern take on traditional Japanese sake.
  • Hirata Sake Brewery
    Hirata Sake Brewery is a celebrated establishment nestled in the historic old town of Takayama, Gifu Prefecture. With roots tracing back to the Edo period, it stands as one of the city’s most distinguished breweries. The brewery draws its heritage from both Ise and Hida. It uses premium sake rice varieties such as Yamadanishiki, as well as locally grown Hidahomare from Hida and Isehikari, a rare rice born from the sacred fields of the Grand Shrine of Ise. The water, sourced from the crystal-clear Miyagawa River, adds to the exceptional quality. Blending the spiritual legacy of Ise with the harsh winters and deep sake-making traditions of Hida, Hirata Sake Brewery produces a refined and elegant selection of sake — the true essence of Japanese craftsmanship.
