Route

  1. Enjoy a welcome drink in front of the crystal-clear spring water of Sawa no I well. This natural spring is directly beneath the elevated tracks of Hanshin Mikage Station in Kobe and holds deep cultural importance both for the naming of the Mikage area and for the region's brewing history.

  3. Our first stop is Kiku-Masamune, founded in 1659. Today they are famous for their continued use of traditional brewing techniques such as cask-aged sake (taruzake) and the natural kimoto method. Here you will visit the workshop where dedicated craftspeople still make these casks by hand (subject to availability) and try the sake aged in them based on a traditional Edo-period (1603-1868) recipe.

  4. Our last stop takes us up to the modern age of sake brewing at one of Nada's smallest breweries. Hamafukutsuru is a interactive brewing facility, built after the devastation of the Great Hanshin Earthquake of 1995. They concentrate on the luxurious ginjo method of sake brewing, known for its light and floral brews. Here you will enjoy a comparative tasting of 3 different kinds of ginjo made from 3 different rice varieties.

About Kobe

Kobe is a port city on Osaka Bay, set between the sea and the Rokko mountains, known for its beef, foreign-style hillside houses and hot springs.

Kobe is a long, narrow city squeezed between Osaka Bay and the Rokko Mountains, which rise steeply behind it. It opened as a treaty port in 1868, and its foreign merchants left a hillside district, Kitano, of European-style mansions, churches and cafés. Nankinmachi is a compact Chinatown. At the harbour, the red Port Tower and the Meriken Park waterfront look out over the bay.

Top-ranked sights in Kobe: Kobe Harborland, Kobe Port Tower, Kobe Maritime Museum.
