3. Ishikawa Brewery
   1h 30m
   Step back in time to the Meiji era at Ishikawa Brewery, a historic sake brewery founded in 1863 and located in the peaceful Fussa district. As you wander the grounds, admire the stunning Meiji-period architecture, including the iconic white-walled warehouses (kura) and the massive keyaki (zelkova) trees that have stood watch over the brewery for generations. The brewery complex, including the main brewery building and warehouse, is a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan.
   Discover the traditional brewing process of their flagship sake, Tamajiman, made using pure underground water from the Tama River basin. Uniquely, Ishikawa Brewery also produces craft beer (Tama no Megumi), blending Western and Japanese brewing traditions. While a guided tour inside the active brewing area requires advance reservation, the brewery museum and sake shop offer fascinating insights and tastings of their signature products.

The highlight is the chic tasting counter, where you can enjoy a final flight of rare or seasonal sakes that are often difficult to find elsewhere.
