[Tokyo/Oji] Premium sake tasting and pairing experience at a historic sake brewery ~ Discover sake and fermented food culture on a special tour at the former Brewing Research Institute No. 1 Factory ~

[Limited tour at a national cultural property that is not open to the public]
Enjoy a special tour at the former Brewing Research Institute First Factory (Red Brick Sake Brewery), a national cultural property that is normally closed to the public, and enjoy sake manufacturing. Learn about the history of modernization.

[Special tour of the Red Brick Sake Brewery]
You can tour the Red Brick Sake Brewery and feel the depth of its history. Among them is the ``Hyakunen Sake Brewery Project,'' a project that aims to age sake for decades.

The Red Brick Sake Brewery in Oji, Tokyo, was built in 1904 as part of the newly established Sake Brewing Research Institute, a facility where cutting-edge technology was used to support the modernization and evolution of sake production. It is the only place in Japan where technical development and training related to sake production have been held for 120 years, and it is considered the ``sacred place for sake brewing'' because people who aspire to become sake brewers learned here. After that, the research institute was moved outside of Tokyo, but the symbolic red brick sake brewery remained and was designated as a national cultural property in 2014. Since it is not normally open to the public, it remains a hidden gem of Tokyo.
