    Gunma Pref. Tonegunkawabamura Monzen 713
    Visitors enjoy sake at this cafe in an old sake storehouse built during the Meiji period (1868–1912) that was once owned by the Nagai Shuzo brewery. There is even a sugitama in front of the shop, a large ball of cedar twigs that often hangs from the eaves of sake breweries. The menu resembles a sake brewery's too, with steamed buns made with sake lees, blanc-manger, chocolate ganache, and more. They also have light meals made with salted koji mold and coffee prepared with water used for sake making. Their sake tasting set lets you sip and compare the fine Mizubasho and Tanigawadake brews. You'll have a great time at this brewery.
