IchinoyaFounded in 1865, Ichinoya Brewery welcomes visitors with an entrance that exudes historical charm. The tour begins at this iconic entrance, located just a 10-minute walk from Shinano-Omachi Station. As you step inside, you’ll walk along a path that takes you on a journey through the brewery’s rich history, leading to the Sake brewery itself. While the exterior of the brewery building retains its original appearance from its founding, the interior houses equipments for Sake production. Here, you can observe the Sake making process, which is still largely done by hand. Even for those unfamiliar with Japanese Sake, learning about the intricate and fascinating methods of production offers a deep appreciation for the craft and an intimate connection to the heart of Japanese culture. At the end of the brewery tour, you will have the opportunity to taste a variety of Ichinoya's Sake at the bar. This is your chance to discover flavors that suit your personal preferences.
