Breweries & Distilleries
醸造所 蒸溜所
How about going on a liquor trip around breweries nationwide? Comparing delicious craft beer in Hokkaido or finding out what your favorite Shochu is in Kagoshima. Japan has a great variety of alcohol, so even if you're used to excellent wine, what a good idea to taste something new!
Sake brewery
The number of sake breweries is decreasing year after year as the consumption of sake decreases. However there are still about 1,600 breweries nationwide. Let's see which prefecture has the most.
No.1 in consumption
2. NAGANO
(74 breweries)
Pure, natural, and handcrafted
3. HYOGO
(69 breweries)
Historical place of sake brewing
4. FUKUSHIMA
(63 breweries)
A famous production area for unique sake
Whiskey distillery
The reason why Japanese whisky is high quality whisky, is because they consistently carry out the whisky manufacturing process from raw sake brewing to bottling in-house. Therefore, each part of the process adds a value to the final product, making it exceptional.
Currently, 26 whisky distilleries are operating all over Japan (we will count 27 soon as a new one is planned to be built),
and several factories can be visited.
