Nakano BC Sake Brewery Tour and Tasting

Nakano brewery started out as a soy sauce brewing business in 1949. Tastes and business models changed, and now it's known as one of Wakayama's best sake breweries. Step inside and learn how sake, umeshu, and other local libations are concocted. There's plum fruit juice aplenty, too. See each step of the brewing process, from preparation to pressing and storage, and then take a stroll through the expansive Japanese garden, bursting with life. Ready for your sake tasting? The sake of the Wakayama Prefecture, south of Osaka, is carefully handcrafted by highly-skilled toji and kurabito, who utilize the spring water from the area's mountains.
