What you can expect

Discover both Japanese sake and whisky craftsmanship in one unique experience at Eigashima Sake Brewery and White Oak Distillery.

Start at Eigashima Sake Brewery, where you will learn how Japanese sake is made from rice, water, koji, and fermentation. See key brewing facilities and discover how traditional techniques shape the aroma and flavour of sake.

Then visit White Oak Distillery, operated by Eigashima Shuzo, one of Japan’s pioneering whisky producers with a whisky production licence dating back to 1919. Observe whisky distillation equipment and learn how Japanese whisky is crafted, distilled, and matured.

A special highlight is the whisky barrel warehouse, where you can see where the whisky is aged. Learn about different types of casks, including bourbon, sherry, wine, and unique Japanese chestnut casks, and discover how each barrel influences the final taste.

Enjoy a guided tasting of sake and single malt whisky produced at the site. You will also have the rare opportunity to taste the natural brewing water and understand how local water, climate, ingredients, and craftsmanship create the distinct character of both sake and whisky.

This is an ideal experience for guests who want more than a simple tasting — a rare behind-the-scenes look at Japanese sake and whisky production in one historic location.
