Learn about the development and history of sake brewing in Fushimi, Kyoto [Gekkeikan Okura Memorial Museum]
The Gekkeikan Okura Memorial Museum is where visitors can learn about the history and sake culture of Gekkeikan, a sake brewery founded in 1637 in Fushimi, Kyoto, known as one of Japan's leading sake breweries. In addition to general tours, the museum offers guided tours of the brewery, where visitors can learn about the history of Gekkeikan and the traditional sake brewing process, as well as experience filling and tasting sake (3,000 yen), which is only available on the tour. Tours may be suspended during the summer and depending on brewing conditions.
Visitors can also sample "Sakamizu," Gekkeikan's brewing water that wells up in the courtyard, and enjoy its mild taste.
