About this activity

Tamashima is a historic port town that prospered as a key point along the Seto Inland Sea trade routes.

The brewery, founded in 1878, stands in what was once a bustling wholesale district shaped by the passage of Kitamaebune trading ships. The techniques and philosophy refined and handed down through generations continue to produce celebrated labels such as Sanzen and Kiseki no Sake.

Its sake is consistently recognized with high honors at international competitions.

With an English-guided tour led by brewery staff, guests can enjoy a tasting centered on the flagship label Sanzen. This special experience offers insight into the terroir of Okayama’s renowned sake rice—Yamada Nishiki and Omachi—alongside an explanation of the fermentation process inside a brewery filled with Mozart’s music.

The program includes a sake souvenir, as well as the opportunity to join an exclusive tasting session.
