Deepen Your Connection to the Region

A Private Tour to Explore the Depths of Sake Brewing

On the second day, after checking out, take a short 5-minute walk to Watanabe Sake Brewery, which has been crafting sake for over 150 years. With a team of 15 dedicated brewers, they focus on tradition and handmade techniques to produce small batches of limited edition sake.

Begin your tour with an introduction to the brewery's history, then explore the sake-making process, guided by an expert who will make it easy to understand and enjoyable.

As you enter the brewery, the sweet aroma of sake rice fills the air. Brewing typically takes place from September to June, and if you visit during this period, you can observe the brewing process firsthand. Depending on the timing, you might even hear directly from the brewers. This is a unique opportunity to learn about the time-honored tradition of sake brewing, recently recognized as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2024.

A Tasting Experience to Discover Hida's Sake and Culinary Culture

After the tour, it’s time for the much-awaited tasting. The venue is the annex on the premises which is usually closed to the public. A room in a renovated 100-year-old building will be specially prepared for you, where you’ll sample 4 to 5 different types of sake, each with its own unique characteristics. From standard products to seasonal and premium options, the selection varies depending on the experience date. Choose your favorite from the beautiful sake vessels collected by the president and enjoy the sake poured for you.

Locally made daikon pickled in soy sauce will be served alongside the sake (contents subject to change). Hida is known for its soy sauce and miso, and many of the region’s sakes, often on the sweeter side, pair perfectly with these flavors. Deepen your understanding of Japanese sake and food culture as you savor each sip. For non-drinkers, non-alcoholic sweet sake brewed by Watanabe Sake Brewery will also be available.

You can take home an original sake cup as a souvenir, and sake is also available for purchase at the on-site shop. Whether you choose your favorite brand from the tasting or decide to try something new, it’s a great opportunity to explore. Feel free to ask for recommendations if you're unsure about which sake to pick. Relive the memories of your trip and enjoy the fine sake of Hida at home.
