Why You Should Visit
A summer sake stamp rally linking four Harima breweries, launched by four brewers who studied together at Tokyo University of Agriculture. This 6th edition runs from June through September: buy 1,500 yen or more of sake at each brewery to earn a stamp. Collect all four for a 300ml special-label bottle, plus a chance to enter a "sake talk" gathering with the brewers. It suits anyone who wants to explore each brewery's setting and story while hunting down their favorite summer sake.
