Inuyama Brewery Tour: Nindoshu Tasting and Bottle Sealing

Inuyama's Kojima Jozo brewery has made Nindoshu since 1597, using a recipe passed down orally through fifteen generations and never written down. Step into the working brewery and hear how a tradition survived nearly 430 years on memory alone.

Taste Nindoshu: a sweet, herbal liqueur made from Japanese honeysuckle, unlike anything else made in Japan today. Then seal your own bottle on the brewery's traditional cast-iron press and hand-write your personal label.

One bottle comes home with you. The second ages in the brewery's cellar for at least two years, giving you a reason to return to Inuyama. This shared experience includes an English interpreter throughout.
