Genzaka Sake Brewery and Japanese Cuisine 5-Hour Tour

Gensaka Sake Brewery
Located in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, Gensaka Sake Brewery continues to brew sake using traditional methods. Crafted with care using high-quality locally grown rice and pure water, their sake is popular not only with locals but also with international tourists, some of whom travel all the way to Ise just to see the brewery. However, the brewery tour and tasting program is not available to the general public; it is only available to guests of luxury hotels and travel agencies affiliated with Gensaka Sake Brewery. In this sense, this tour holds special value. Visitors can learn about the sake brewing process while enjoying fresh, juicy sake.

Japanese Cuisine: Hinakaya
This renowned restaurant, awarded one star in the Mie Michelin Guide, is located adjacent to the pesticide-free "Isenishiki" rice fields restored by Gensaka Sake Brewery. Guests can enjoy exquisite kaiseki cuisine made with seasonal ingredients while taking in the breathtaking views of the scenic and bountiful Ise Miyagawa River. With a thatched roof, mud walls, earthen floor, and hearth, the restaurant's interior conveys the original scenery of old Japan, allowing you to feel the spirit of Japan through its cuisine and architecture.

A visit to Gensaka Sake Brewery and Hinakaya will provide you with a valuable experience, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in Ise's sake culture and local ingredients. This tour is especially recommended for those with an interest in sake and those who want to learn more about local culture.

This time, we will be holding a special tour pairing Hinakaya's cuisine with Gensaka Sake Brewery's sake.
