Hōmeishuzō (kabu) horoyoi jōka zō
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Houmei Shuzo’s Horoyoi Jokagura is an active sake brewery where tradition and innovation coexist. Visitors can explore the atmospheric brewing space filled with wooden vats, stirring paddles, steaming baskets, and fermentation tanks that reflect generations of craftsmanship. The brewery is known for its unique approach of playing the local Dekansho-bushi folk song and even Mozart directly to the fermentation tanks, a practice believed to create a calmer environment for the yeast. In addition to learning about these techniques, guests can enjoy a guided tasting of the brewery’s premium sakes, gaining insight into the nuanced flavors and aromas that define Tamba’s brewing culture. It is a rare chance to experience the living heart of sake-making in Tamba-Sasayama.
