Free sake tasting. A machine with 5 more cheap (¥150) sake’s to taste. 👅 Walk around the venue to see historic information about the making of sake. QR code allows reading of information about the exhibits on your mobile phone in your chosen language. The venue is advertised in all the neighboring stations as a place to visit and is very close to the station. Best to walk along the river to get there.

This is small, yet really nice museum. Nothing particularly fancy on the exhibition, but then again it is to tell you the story of this particular brewery and sale making process itself and what it does is just enough. If you into such kind of stuff and/or on the lookout for spirit of Japan to explore without thousands of tourists and tinsel of must-see attractions then you won’t be disappointed. First you need to reach it and this is the beginning of attraction as you walk from one of the stations in the vicinity through the neighbourhood of sake brewers. It is not a theme park, just regular neighbourhood, but the history is there together with contemporary inhabitants - a piece of “normal” Japan. Then there is this nice building of the museum with the entrance leading through some small garden. So very Japanese ;-). And then the museum with enthusiastic staff welcoming you warmly, and the story it tells. A simple one but no less interesting. There is enough information in English for the foreigners to enjoy it for half and hour or so. And then there is a shop where you can buy tons of museum gadgets (as always), and local food, and snacks, and cosmetics (made based on the brewery byproducts), and of course local nihonshu, amazake, shochu. But also you can taste some first, and together with museum addition tasting is completely free. They make variety of sake and what they serve is really interesting and tasty! Especially the one you can only taste there, the not matured sake that cannot be sold otherwise. All-in-all great place to visit and spend some quality time with local history and spirit ;-).

Very good museum. You can know about how they makes the sake. Also, you can taste some of them. Nice building.

Place to learn Japanese's sake history! Great place can see how owner's contribution in the industry and share the process!

A nice sake brewery museum in Kobe area, not a far walk from the train station! It’s a small place but has some nice exhibits to show sake brewing process. The highlight is really the store with tons of various types of sake from their brand! There’s a free tasting counter with 2 types of sake, and a paid testing machine with their more popular types. There’s also sake soft serve by the way :)

Very nice place to visit. They show videos of the whole sake creation process which is done just like the old days. Also a tour is available in the brewery. This is all free... very nice shop with tasting facilities. Everything is in English except the tour in the brewery but it is self explanatory if you have watched the videos before the tour. A must see for kobe.

This is the Kikumasamune sake brewery. It's a neat tour with sake tasting. Upstairs there is a seating area where you can watch a DVD explaining the brewing process in English or Japanese. This brewery has been visited by the Emperor before as well.

A nice, free (!!!), self-tour museum, which shows the detailed process of making sake. Nice displays and mannequins depicting the process. As negativity while I was there the staff was not really around. The sake “tasting” was minimal to non-existent and also the shop was limited.

It was a 5 min walk from Uozaki station. We had 2 cups of sake for free, and bought a 1000-yen ticket for 4 more cups, 1 ice cream, and a sake cup. The sake was delicious.

A worthwhile place to visit in Kobe. This museum focus on the origins of sake brewing. Visitors can learn about the sake-brewing process and the different types of tools used. The entrance to this museum is free. One has to walk south along the Seiryunomici path beside the Sumiyoshi River after getting down from the Hanshin Electric Railway at the Uozaki Station. At the end of our visit, we were given a chance to sample the sake (21% alcohol). The sake was branded as 菊正宗， a very well known brand in Japan. It tasted very refreshing and good. We spent about 3 hours here and bought some of their newly released lemonade cold sake.

Neat little sake museum which is a solid intro into the historic process of making sake. It is a short train ride from Kobe station followed by a short walk. Quite a charming little building with a gift shop that has a range sake and some free tasters.

Friendly and generous staff who put their newly labelled hyaku moku daijinjo on for free tasting. The name meant one hundred silence literally, and even though the house was more known for its dry and crisp sake tastes this new label is mellow and rounded. A limited mystery brew was available for a small fee, refreshing with almost a sparkling zing, is only available in the first couple of months of the year, due to the limited rice supply of the particular rice species. For the paid tastings the guest also gets a real cup, unlike its neighbour - I shall not name names-who only serves sake in plastic cups. A daijinjo deserves a real cup.

The Sake was lovely but the real treat was the tour. There are 3 times where they do a tour of their barrel making process. They take 20 people only, and while the guide speaks Japanese only, there are subtitles on the 3 videos they show. We also got to see 2 masters of their craft creating this barrels which was amazing to watch. They then finish the tour with a tasting. This was such a great experience and not something we had seen before. As English only speakers, we had a great time.

Smaller sake museum of local artisanal brand: kiku masamune. Good displays and infographics

Brewing process tour and lots of goods to buy. Most importantly, sake tasting available, so you know which of the deliciously smooth sakes to purchase.

Lovely tour and sake tasting. All free.... except what you buy 😊

Love this place! There is a self-serve tasting option that you can buy coins (and a memento sake cup) for, as well as 2 free tastings. The gardens are small but nice, and there are videos to show the process of making sake. It is separate from the factory where sake is actually made, and there are no tours of those.

One of the many sake breweries in the area which includes three factory tours a day. English, Korean and Chinese language support with phone is present here.

It wasnt too interesting, but i had my fare share of fun. You may also buy high quality sake there.

20-30min stay with 10min video about sake history in english n chinese. Sake tasting availabe. Small shop for sake. No car park. But two small area at the entrance may be good enough for temporarily parking.
