Sanyotsuru Sake Brewery

Savor a moment of luxury with Japanese sake and kaiseki cuisine

Local charm and traditions live on at Sanyotsuru Brewery, founded in 1912. Its name comes from the pine trees lining the Old Sanyo Expressway and the crane (bird). The exquisite harmony of sweetness, acidity, spiciness, bitterness, and astringency inherent to Japanese sake creates a flavor profile that pairs exceptionally well with food. Even in small quantities, it delivers a robust umami flavor, making it a great choice for beginners to sake.

At the direct sales store, you can purchase original merchandise and sake that is only available directly from the brewery, and try your hand at a capsule toy machine for a chance to win a popular red sake cup. Don’t miss the charm of unique experiences that you can only find here.

You can enjoy authentic kappo cuisine, which pairs perfectly with the brewery’s sake, at the attached Kappo Shinsuke restaurant. This serene atmosphere is the perfect place to leisurely savor the marriage of sake and traditional Japanese cuisine.
