This was a great start to our sake adventures in Fushimi. For a small admission fee, you receive entrance to the museum, a souvenir sake cup, and 3 self-serve sake tastings. The first two rooms of the museum are mostly about the sake company itself (a bit self-aggrandizing, but there are some interesting tidbits about the history and archaeology of the area), but the third room explains the process of making sake. We found this part to be the most interesting and very well done. You can skip the app, pretty much every sign includes an English translation. The museum itself is in a cute, rural neighborhood by a river - a nice change from the main areas of Kyoto.

Visited this famous Sake brewery after climbing Fushimi Inari which is a short subway ride of 2 stops. Tickets are ¥600 inclusive of a sake souvenir cup and 3 sake sample token. Informative video introduction to sake brewing in this area. Follow by walking through the Exhibit of the various brewing equipment and materials. Can drink the water used to brew sake in the garden courtyard well fountain. Highlight of the tour was the sake sampling and explanation by the sake sommelier. Each visitor get 3 sample tokens and can purchase more at ¥100 each if required. Can purchase the sake at the well stocked store.

A 20minutes train ride down from Kyoto centre or Gion stop. There is an online booking platform in Japanese. Got the ticket booking and paid at arrival. This sake museum offers an insight or the development of sake over the last 400years. There is a 8 part video of the process of sake making unfortunately in Japanese. There is then a sake tasting of three sakes as part of the entrance fee, with additional sake for 100yen. There is also a sake cup as a souvenir. Part of the museum is shut and you get a postcard of the area. Lastly a gift shop where you can buy the sake you have drunk at the tasting. Also great value for money for 650yen. Certainly Improves your understanding on sake!
