The Momokawa Sake Brewery Tour

place
The Momokawa Sake brewery was established in 1889 and is famous for its excellent quality sake. 
The brewery is named after the Momo river that runs next to it. The company over its history has continued its mission to make the best sake possible and has adopted the motto of ‘making people happy by making delicious sake’.
 
The brewery also offers free tours of its factory. Come walk through the factory area to see how Momokawa makes its world-renown sake. The highlight of the tour is the sake tasting at the end where you can try a variety of different grades of sake.  We recommended Momokawa’s Ginjo Junmai ‘Sugidama’ sake. It is named after the sugidama, or giant ball made from cedar leaves, that sake breweries hang in front of their shops. The sake has a fruity fragrance and a mild taste balanced with a slight dryness. It is perfect for first-time drinkers and aficionados alike.
