Deepen your understanding of Japanese sake
Gunma's cool climate and clean water are key to producing its delicious sake. See the sake-making process for yourself at a local sake brewery, where you will be shown how the process and ingredients affect the subtle flavors of the beverage. Depending on the brewery, there may a chance to sample the product. After the tour, consider buying some to take home.
