Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum, Sake museum in Fushimi-ku, Japan.
The Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum is a museum in Fushimi-ku dedicated to sake production and its history, displaying a large collection of brewing tools, vessels, and equipment spanning different periods. The exhibits walk through each step of the brewing process and show how techniques evolved over time.
The building was constructed in 1909 as a working brewery and preserves industrial architecture from the Meiji period. Some of the tools and techniques displayed have been recognized as important folk cultural properties.
The museum tells the story of how sake brewing became central to Fushimi's identity over centuries, with visitors able to see why the region's natural resources made it a natural hub for this craft.
The museum is just a few minutes walk from Chushojima Station and is open to visitors daily. During your visit, you can taste the local spring water used in sake production.
Visitors receive a bottle of sake as part of their admission, offering a hands-on way to experience the final product after learning about its creation. This personal keepsake makes the visit feel less like a tour and more like a direct introduction to the craft.
