What is Nada?
Nada is the largest sake producing region in Japan, with breweries in the area accounting for just over one quarter of the sake production in the entire country. Records show that Sake production first started in Nada nearly 700 years ago, in 1330. The tour will allow you to feel Japanese history through the sake-making traditions of Nada.
What is Hakutsuru?
Hakutsuru brand is a one of the most famous "sake" breweries in Japan. They have opened their old "sake" brewhouse in its original form to the public as the Sake Brewery Museum. Our hope is to give you a feel of the tradition of "sake" making that has been carried down through the ages and to broadly and deeply convey the "heart of Japan" to the "sake" making world.
