About this spot
Kirin Brewery's Kobe Brewery is one of the most popular factory tours in the Kansai region, where you can learn about beer making in a lush natural setting. The main "Ichiban Shibori Taste Experience Tour" is a feast for the five senses, with tastings of the malt used as an ingredient, a chance to smell the aroma of hops, and a side-by-side comparison of Ichiban Shibori wort and Niban Shibori wort. After watching the powerful production line up close, you can sample freshly delivered "Ichiban Shibori" at its very best, poured by experts, in the airy Guest Hall. Soft drinks are also available, so families with children and those who are driving can enjoy the tour with peace of mind. On the grounds you will also find a restaurant serving locally sourced dishes and a factory shop with limited-edition items available only here. A free shuttle bus runs from Sanda Station, making this a recommended spot for everything from an adult weekend outing to a group trip.
