Good to know

Will we see actual production work during the tour?

We can't guarantee you'll see our brewers at work — active brewing (rice steaming, koji making) generally happens in the morning. Tours are a facility walk-through with a detailed explanation of the brewing process from our sake-expert guides.

How much sake will we taste?

A tasting pour of 3 kinds of Brooklyn Kura sake from the current lineup, explained in detail by our staff. Afterwards you can order more by the glass or carafe, or take bottles home.

Is food included?

Food isn't included in the tour, but the taproom food menu is available for an additional charge — just ask at the bar.
