Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Museum

The museum displays traditional sake production tools, including large Japanese cedar fermentation vats and cooling apparatus across multiple exhibition spaces.

In 1982, Hakutsuru transformed their original brewhouse into this museum, preserving the techniques and equipment used in traditional sake production.

The exhibits demonstrate the sake brewing process through life-sized mannequins performing traditional tasks, illustrating Japanese brewing methods spanning generations.

Located five minutes from Hanshin Sumiyoshi Station, the museum operates daily from 9:30 to 16:30, offering free admission and sake tasting experiences.

Visitors can observe the koji culture rooms and sample unpasteurized sake directly from the production process in the tasting area.
