4.0

The Sawanotsuru Sake Museum is 10 minutes on foot from Hanshin Oishi Station in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture. Housed in the Oishi Kura that was built over 170 years ago in the late Edo period, the museum educates the public about sake brewing culture and features exhibits on traditional Nada Sake brewing. These include valuable sake making equipment like large sake barrels from Sawanotsuru's 300-plus-year history, as well as models of Japanese ships such as Kitamae / Sengoku-bune that were used for sake transport. There is also a museum shop where visitors can enjoy free tastings of unprocessed sake.
