月桂冠大倉記念館
Gekkeikan began in 1637. The museum shop's flagship, Kasagiya, takes its name from the trade name used at the founding, when the first Okura Jihei came from Kasagi to Fushimi; it is a Yamada Nishiki daiginjo polished to 35%. The sake brewery tour (¥3,000, by reservation) enters the Meiji-era Uchigura brewery, where visitors bottle unblended sake themselves and taste three unblended sakes served only on the tour. The Uchigura junmai daiginjo shiboritate namagenshu is sold only at the museum, bottled straight from the press with a two-week shelf life (keep refrigerated); 300 ml costs ¥1,820 including tax.
