What you can do
The Chitosetsuru Sake Museum in central Sapporo is free and open daily, with a free sample at its well station and a paid counter for premium sake. It belongs to Nippon Seishu, the city’s last sake brewery.
Guided options are evening tastings: a three-hour private tour with six tastings across izakaya, sake shops and a museum, and a night tour of hidden bars led by a certified sake expert. Hokkaido’s cold climate and newer rice varieties have given the island a growing group of sake breweries, and these tastings are an easy way to try them.
Frequently asked questions
