Watch the Sake Making Procedure
If your visit overlaps with the sake making period, it is possible to watch as the sake is being made. However, the production period depends on the brand of the sake, so make sure to inquire in advance if you wish to see it. Watch silently as the artisans work with high concentration.

The Fun Part: Sake Tasting
Japanese sake is a world of its own, in which the brand is named after the person who produced it, the brewery or poetic words. Savor slowly the sake that can be tasted here and that has been made proudly in this brewery. Staff will tell you "this is recommended" if you tell them your preference of sweet or dry. Be careful not to drink too much.
