Blessed with an abundance of underground water veins that spring up from the Momoyama Hills, Fushimi was once called "Fushimizu" (literally "fushimizu" in Japanese), and it is said that full-scale brewing began here about 400 years ago because the water was suitable for sake brewing. It flourished as a castle town and a port on the Yodo River on the Tokaido, and sake breweries with white walls stand out along the Uji River and canals. The streets of Fushimi, where you can enjoy the atmosphere of a sake brewing town, with ten-koku boats sailing among swaying willows, have been designated as the "Fushimi Minamihama Neighborhood Landscape Development District" by Kyoto City. ~Time Schedule~13:00 [Meet at the north ticket gate of Keihan Electric Railway Nakashojima Station] Meet in front of the sake barrel object located immediately after exiting the north ticket gate! This is where the tour begins! It's a flat road, but you'll be walking about 2 kilometers, so please wear comfortable shoes on the day. 13:15 [Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum] ☆ Includes tasting of three types of sake, including Daiginjo, and a special Gekkeikan sake cup☆ This building is a wooden storehouse built in the Meiji era that is still in use. You can drink the underground water used in sake brewing from the well in the courtyard. Just like Fushimi sake, it is very soft and delicious, so please try it. You will be surprised at how soft it is. In the exhibition room, you can see traditional sake brewing tools, which are designated as tangible folk cultural properties of Kyoto City. 13:50 [Fushimi Yume Hyakushu] ☆ Includes summer-only sake ice cream ☆ Shop & cafe "Fushimi Yume Hyakushu". In fact, this building is the former main store of Gekkeikan, which was built in the Taisho era. In addition to Gekkeikan, various Kyoto sakes and souvenirs are sold in the store. We have prepared a 3-type sake tasting set including appetizers here. 14:30 [Kizakura Kappa Country] ☆Kyoto's oldest local beer included☆ Kiizakura is famous for its sake commercials using kappa characters, but it is also the first company to make local beer in Kyoto. Therefore, in addition to the sake manufacturing process, Fushimizugura is characterized by the fact that you can tour the beer factory. After the tour, try tasting sake and beer in the lovely courtyard. 15:15 [Aburacho] ☆Authentic sake tasting set of three types☆ We have more than 80 types of sake from all 18 breweries in Fushimi, mainly ginjo sake and daiginjo sake, and more than 100 types including seasonal limited edition sake. In addition, at the sake tasting counter attached to the store, you can compare three types in small cup size as well as a glass. Just looking at the bottles will make you feel happy.
We will have two authentic sake tasting sessions at Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum and Aburacho, with seating and explanations from the owners of each store. Since it is a seating session, you can enjoy the sake at your leisure and refresh yourself after your trip!
Fushimi, Kyoto City. Sake brewing has flourished since ancient times in this area, where many legends about its famous water remain. We would like to introduce some spots that we would definitely recommend on your Fushimi sake brewery tour. I have a feeling that any sake expert will discover “something” on a trip where you can meet your favorite sake through a brewery tour and tasting, smack your lips over sweets made with sake, and enjoy the perfect snacks. I will.
Each sake brewery has a fun space where sake lovers can gather to enjoy Fushimi's sake. It is a place where not only Japanese but also foreign tourists can experience the charm of sake. A Japanese sake theme park! ! Summer plan limited sake ice cream will be presented to all participants!
