Kiku-Masamune, established in 1659, has passed down the fine tradition of Japanese sake-brewing through the centuries. Their legacy is captured in this museum.
Across two floors, you’ll learn about the process firsthand through videos, exhibits, and artifacts. Make sure to check out the collection of sake sets — and don’t miss the chair on which Emperor Showa himself once sat.
No trip to a sake museum would be complete without a tasting area where you can sample, and shop for, some sake — and so of course, they have one.
