Begin your tour at Seiun Sake Brewery, located in Ogawa Town, Saitama Prefecture. Learn about the brewery’s philosophy, and how local water sources and seasonal conditions influence each stage of production. Hear how subtle decisions made by the brewers affect aroma, texture, and flavour.
Visit the brewery shop, where you can taste the continuously flowing spring water known as the “Tama no Ido.” This pure brewing water, drawn from deep underground, forms the foundation of Seiun Sake Brewery’s sake.
Next, enjoy a guided tasting using the brewery’s modern tasting machines, which offer a curated selection of recommended seasonal sakes. This system allows you to explore different expressions at your own pace while learning how changes in temperature, ageing, and ingredients shape each brew.
The tasting experience is designed to be approachable for beginners yet deeply engaging for sake enthusiasts, making it possible to compare styles, discover personal preferences, and gain a richer understanding of sake’s diversity.
