Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum, Sake museum in Fushimi-ku, Japan.

The Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum is a corporate museum in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, opened in 1987 in a sake brewery built in 1909 along the Hori River. Its route follows the brewing process and displays 400 of the 6,120 sake-brewing tools held by the museum, a Kyoto City tangible folk cultural property, along with shipping and barrel-making equipment.

The museum occupies a sake brewery built in 1909 at Gekkeikan's birthplace on the moat. It opened in 1987, the company's 350th anniversary. The building and its collection of Fushimi brewing tools are listed as part of a Modernization Industrial Heritage site.

The museum occupies a sake brewery built in 1909 at the site where Gekkeikan was founded, and it opened in 1987, the company's 350th year. Its displays follow the brewing process in order, showing 400 of the 6,120 sake-brewing tools held by the museum, a collection designated a Kyoto City tangible folk cultural property, along with shipping tools such as branding irons, red seals, copper plates and molds, and cooperage tools for making barrels.

The museum occupies a converted 1909 sake storehouse on the banks of the Hori River, in the area where Gekkeikan was founded. The exhibition route follows the brewing process in order, so visitors move through the stages of sake making one after another. It opened in 1987, the company's 350th year.

Gekkeikan was founded in 1637, making it one of the oldest continuously operating sake producers in the world. The museum therefore documents not just a regional craft, but one of the longest unbroken company histories in Japan.
