This is a rare opportunity to observe the sake brewing process, which can only be seen during the brewing season, up close and personal with questions to the craftspeople. You will be able to observe the brewers at work and see not only the sake brewing process, but also the bottling, labeling, and other work processes of the day. After the tour, enjoy a comparison of three different types of sake (depending on the season) made using the same underground water from the same vein that Sen no Rikyu is said to have used for the tea ceremony. Sake not for sale may be included.
