You see many grain storage buildings, non combustible, throughout Japan, but this one really catches you attention. It is on the opposite end of town from the samurai houses.

We had a bit of a mess up in the beginning. The website says to ring in advance if you would like to be apart of the English speaking tour so we did and booked for 12pm the next day. When we got there to start the tour there was no booking for us and there wasn’t even a tour at 12pm. Luckily they put us on the 1pm tour so we went and got some lunch while we waited. We downloaded an app on our phones and listened to the tour on there. However the guide was also really good and added some English in there for us too which I thought was great. My partner loves asahi beer so he really enjoyed seeing how the production all worked and the tastings at the end were fantastic.

Ishikawa Brewery

At our brewery, you can see Kura buildings that were built during the 19th and 20th century where we continue to brew our ‘Tamajiman’ sake. Inside the buildings, you will see the beauty of traditional Japanese architecture that has been maintained since it was first built. Our company crafts both sake and beer, which are both available in our restaurants on our premises.

A thorough and informative tour from our English speaking guide which toured the historic buildings which have been making sake for generations. Remnants of brewing are on display which are discussed throughout the tour. Clean and fresh tasting sake finished the tour with a food pairing, if you require more there is an Italian restaurant on site. The site is accessible via Tokyo a couple of train rides away and a 15 minute stroll.
