Uncover the secret art of sake blending in a hidden laboratory where creativity flows. At the gateway to Niigata—Japan’s renowned sake capital—Shirataki Sake Brewery has been crafting sake for over 170 years using soft snowmelt from one of the world’s heaviest snowfall regions. Step into a secluded, rarely seen corner of the brewery where you can explore Chōgō—the post-fermentation blending process—a hidden layer of artistry in sake creation that few ever get to see. Begin with an English-guided lecture by a brewery guide (WSET Level 3 Certified), on how sake is made and how craftsmanship shapes flavor. Taste five carefully selected sakes: the flagship Jozen Mizuno Gotoshi, known for its graceful balance and crisp purity, and four others representing key flavor profiles—dryness, sweetness, richness, and acidity. Then, craft your own blend to reflect your palate. Curated recipes by the master brewer are available if you need guidance, tailored to different moods, occasions, and tastes. Finish by choosing a kanji character to express your blend and brush it onto your label with staff support, creating a personalized bottle to take home.

Kumi was our host and she took us around, looked after us and was absolutely flawless. Her English and knowledge of the brewery were first class. The blending experience was fantastic, but I highly recommend the brewery tour also. Just to see and smell the process as it was happening was worth a day trip in itself. The explanation and experience of blending your own taste Sake to take home was just amazing! Not to mention the new tap room facility is absolutely stunning. 100% recommend - a must go authentic experience in Yuzawa, Niigata prefecture.

An exclusive experience for everyone. Whether you are a beginner who has never tasted sake but would love to try something new, or a true sake enthusiast, this is the perfect place to begin a memorable journey. Discover the rich and diverse flavors of sake and create an unforgettable experience that will leave you wanting to come back again. 🍶✨ Staff are always ready to guide you and share their knowledge about the sake-making process and the differences between each type of sake. Explanations are available in both English and Japanese, making it easy for everyone to enjoy the experience. I had never tried sake before, but this place made me realize that drinking sake can be much more fun than I expected. The flavors are approachable and memorable, and the very first bottle I created myself turned out to be delicious and exactly to my taste. If you’re looking for a new experience to enjoy with your partner, family, or friends, this is definitely a wonderful place to visit. 🍶✨

This was a very unique experience in Niigata. The guide gave a detailed introduction about Japanese sake and communicated very clearly in English. They were also very kind and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. ☺️✨ The highlight was creating our own original blend of sake. It was exciting to experiment with different flavors and make a personalized bottle to take home as a souvenir. 🍶🤍 If you visit Niigata, this is definitely an activity worth trying. It's a great way to learn more about Japanese sake while having fun. Highly recommended!

Teacher explained very detailed, to understand the process of production of clean wine, and the feeling really comfortable, recommend that Taiwanese people from Tozze can come to drink clean wine and go to class.

We had a wonderful sake experience at Shirataki. Our guide and host Kumi was friendly and very knowledgeable about the sake brewing process, she helped us through tasting 6 different sakes and then we made our own to take home. You also get to take home all the left over sake tastings! Thank you to Kumi for a fantastic few hours, we highly recommend this tour.
