Kobe Private Sake Tour: Shrine Tasting & 3 Brewery Visits

This tour takes you to Nishinomiya, part of the Kobe area and the birthplace of Miyamizu, the sacred water highly prized by master brewers.

Visit three historic breweries and discover local drinking culture. Enjoy a special sake tasting at Japan’s most famous shrine for business success. On weekdays, conclude the tour with sake and matcha in a quiet 150-year-old traditional wooden house. On weekends, visit Sakigake-Kura, where master brewers preserve handmade techniques inspired by Zen philosophy. Experience the beauty of Nada sake with our licensed, warm, and professional sake guides, and deepen your appreciation of Japan’s beloved drink.
