Taste Award-Winning Local Sake Brewed from Pure Mount Iide Waters
Benefiting from cold winters, rich rice harvests, and pristine melted snow from Mount Iide, Kitakata is home to numerous centuries-old sake breweries. Many breweries offer guided tours, tastings, and historic warehouse visits.
Look for "Kura-biraki" (Brewery Opening) events in winter and spring for exclusive tastings of fresh seasonal brew.
