Have you ever wondered how sake is made? Here at the Ishikawa Brewery, nestled in Fussa City, Tokyo, you can unravel this mystery. Ishikawa Brewery has been crafting its renowned “Tamajiman” sake for over 150 years. Its story began in 1863, but its current home in Kumagawa, Fussa City, dates back to 1881. The brewery boasts “kura” buildings from the 19th and 20th centuries. These buildings are not just functional, they are works of art, showcasing traditional Japanese architecture. During a guided tour, available in English with advance reservation, you can step back in time and witness the beauty of these historic structures. Ishikawa Brewery’s commitment to quality is evident in every step of the sake-making process. They utilize pure water from a 150m-deep well, fresh air, and carefully chosen ingredients. The brewery’s grounds offer more than just sake. You can also explore the site of one of Japan’s earliest beer breweries, Nippon Beer, which operated there starting in 1887. Although Nippon Beer closed down in the late 19th century, Ishikawa Brewery revived beer production in 1998. Today, they produce “Tama no Megumi,” a local craft beer. After your tour, sample both sake and beer, including the premium “Dai-ginjo” sake. You can also enjoy specialties paired with your drinks. Explore the on-site brewery shop, the Italian restaurant, or the shop offering rice balls with sake and beer pairings. Ishikawa Brewery is more than a brewery; it’s a journey through time and a celebration of Japanese craftsmanship.
