Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Museum

And since i’m on Sake, i thought i might as well.. share the brewery museum with all of you.   This brewery museum is one of the most interesting of the many sake attractions in Kobe’s compact brewery district. It’s actually been put together inside an old sake kura, so unlike a modern museum it really smells like old wood and straw. There are life-size mannequins throughout the big two-story structure, caught in the act of inspecting the mash or stirring the yeast or performing any of the other many sake-making steps that are explained in great detail.

Barrels for the sake, i assume.
