Gekkeikan Ōkura Sake Museum
About
Located in Kyoto's historic Fushimi brewing district, this museum is housed in an authentic 1909 wooden sake cellar. Visitors can explore traditional brewing tools, listen to rare recordings of historical brewing songs, and learn about the Gekkeikan brand's 380-year history. The self-guided tour culminates in a guided tasting of three premium sakes, including exclusive drafts you can only try on-site.
Insider Tip
Book your ticket online in advance; it is very cheap (around 600 yen), includes a souvenir sake cup, and slots sell out quickly.
