Sake tasting was awesome. Lots of options as well to take home high quality locally made sake at a good price. The tour was entirely in Japanese and the guide spoke very quick. My limited Japanese caught every 100th word.

Interesting building and good to see the inside of the former residence upstairs too. Tours every 30 min with a guide but everything is in Japanese with very little information available in English. If you speak or read Japanese or have someone to translate for you, it is a pleasant diversion. It concludes with sake tastings at the end so is a good way to try a variety without buying blind. There is a huge difference in taste between the varieties. If there was information available in English I would have rated it higher.
They offer free brewery tours on the hour every hour. Nice staff and are helpful when selecting sake. They let you taste different ones before buying.
This is our third time so we did not do any tours but tasted their Sake, it was good but did not find anything I liked!
This brewery is very cool on its own, great sake sampling with a friendly owner who gives a tour himself. He does not know a lot of English but this doesn't let it stop him from trying to convey the process behind making Sake and the differences between the different kinds. That would have been awesome enough as it is but once you discover how the brewery links to the history of the town and the castle then you really get an appreciation and sense of awe for this great place.
