A Master’s Perspective on Japan’s Liquid Gold
Join me for an exclusive journey into the heart of Nada Gogo, Japan’s premier sake region. I’m Keitaro, a Sushi Master with 40 years of culinary experience and a certified wine sommelier. I don’t just show you the brewery; I translate the soul of sake through the eyes of a chef.
The Experience: Hakushika Brewery Museum
We begin at the historic Hakushika Museum—the only brewery in the region so prestigious it requires admission (included in your tour). Together, we’ll explore centuries-old brewing tools and secrets.
Expert Tasting & Pairing
The highlight is a curated tasting session. I’ll guide you through the flavour profiles of premium Hakushika sake, sharing professional tips on how to pair them with sushi, Wagyu, and seasonal dishes.
Meeting Point
Hanshin (not JR) Nishinomiya Station — Ebisu (South) Exit.
We’ll meet at 2:00 PM in front of McDonald’s, just down the stairs from the ticket gates.
Access to the Museum
Walk: A scenic 15-minute stroll.
Taxi/Bus: 5-10 minutes (approx. ¥250 - ¥1,000).
Beyond the Glass
After our 2.5-hour tour, I’ll provide personalised recommendations for local hidden-gem izakayas. Or, if you’re ready for the ultimate culinary challenge, ask about my “Masterclass: One-Day Sushi Experience” to craft nigiri with me!
