Sake since 1864: a free 60-minute guided tour, or just a tasting in 30.

If you book, you go into the brewery, founded in 1864, and follow how sake, the fermented rice wine, is made, on a free tour of about an hour; if you have less time, you can stop just for the tasting, about 30 minutes. Up to 10 people can also turn up without booking, up to a maximum of 50 with a booking.

The Hananomai brewery was founded in 1864 in Miyaguchi, in what is now Hamana-ku, and opens its production rooms to the public with free guided tours.

ℹ️ Tours 10:00–16:30, about 60 minutes, free; closed on 1 and 2 January. Up to 10 people are accepted even without booking, up to 50 with a booking. If you only want to taste, you can stop for about 30 minutes without doing the full tour. By train, from Shin-Hamamatsu Station on the Enshū Railway, 32 minutes to Nishikijima, then 6 minutes on the Tenryū Hamanako Railway to Miyaguchi Station, and 5 minutes on foot. The brewery also has its own shop inside Hamamatsu Station.
