The Nada area, which stretches from Kobe City to Nishinomiya City, is home to five breweries, and our tour will visit two of them. The sake produced here is made using mineral-rich underground water known as Miyamizu, and is characterized by its powerful flavor and aroma. It's said that the area supplied 80% of the sake consumed in the Edo period. Why not embark on a journey to discover your favorite sake while touring the breweries and learning about and experiencing the history of the city?
