FIELD NOTES

What it’s actually like

ARRIVAL

The first brewery to reach on foot from Hanshin Uozaki Station. Official hours: 10:00–17:00; closed Mondays, open on holidays.

EXPERIENCE

Explore the brewery at your own pace and look into parts of the brewing process through glass. On our visit, a conversation with the staff turned into eight different tastings, so this stop took longer than expected.

SAKE

This was where the tasting really started for us. There were several chances to compare sake, plus paid tasting and bottles to buy.

GOOD TO KNOW

Leave some extra time if you enjoy talking with brewery staff or tasting before you buy.
