Nagoya Sake Brewery Tour & Custom Label Workshop

Unlike standard sake tastings or automated factory tours, this private experience grants rare, behind-the-scenes access to Sawada Sake Brewery—a 170-year-old heritage producer in Tokoname, near Nagoya (Aichi Prefecture), where traditional hand-craftsmanship has thrived since 1848. What sets this exclusive experience apart is its personal touch and custom souvenir. Guided personally by the brewery owner, you will sample four premium Japanese beverages served in authentic Tokoname-yaki pottery paired with local fermented snacks. Afterwards, you will join a hands-on brush pen workshop to paint your own custom calligraphy label for a full 720ml bottle of fine sake to take home. By combining owner-led heritage storytelling, regional ceramic craftsmanship, and a traditional Japanese calligraphy experience, this activity transforms a classic tasting into an unforgettable cultural highlight in Greater Nagoya.
