Overview
A number of sake breweries have opened themselves up to tours, but few of these breweries have the same focus on traditional techniques and the finest possible results. Nishide Shuzo Sake Brewery still uses old-fashioned wooden equipment, rather than plastic or metal, based on a belief that the material makes a noticeable difference in the taste of the finished product. Master brewer Hirohisa Nishide places equal emphasis on using the finest water, rice, and yeast, combined with innovative techniques learned from Naohiko Noguchi, the “god of sake brewing.”
The visit includes a soft drink made using the water the brewery uses for preparing sake, and guests can optionally sample the brewery’s sake, for an excellent opportunity to enjoy and compare their different products.

What To Expect
Nishide Shuzo
The visit begins with a tour of the sake brewery, led by master brewer Hirohisa Nishide. Guests learn about the brewery’s century of history, as well as the many steps that go into making sake from just a handful of ingredients. This production process incorporates old-fashioned equipment made of wood rather than plastic or metal, based on the conviction that the natural wood helps impart the proper flavor to the finished result. Following the tour, guests can enjoy a soft drink made with the same delicious water the brewery uses for making sake, or have an optional sake tasting to sample and compare the brewery’s various products. Finally, guests are welcome to shop for sake to take home, as a souvenir from the trip.
