This Tabinomushi tour begins with a private visit inside the family home with the owner of the brewery showing their traditional garden, a Western-style reception room, and a professional video showcasing their history and brewing. Next guests are invited to tour the brewery, built in part with traditional carpentry using wood harvested from nearby Wakayama forests and transported to the brewery by sea. Lastly, guests can pray at the Shinto shrine on the property (a unique feature) before visiting the tasting room featuring freshly brewed sake and a variety of sakes available for purchase by the glass or bottle.
