No Englush guide but there's QR. Sake tasting was fun and not expensive.

Free sake tasting. A machine with 5 more cheap (¥150) sake’s to taste. 👅 Walk around the venue to see historic information about the making of sake. QR code allows reading of information about the exhibits on your mobile phone in your chosen language. The venue is advertised in all the neighboring stations as a place to visit and is very close to the station. Best to walk along the river to get there.

The Sake was lovely but the real treat was the tour. There are 3 times where they do a tour of their barrel making process. They take 20 people only, and while the guide speaks Japanese only, there are subtitles on the 3 videos they show. We also got to see 2 masters of their craft creating this barrels which was amazing to watch. They then finish the tour with a tasting. This was such a great experience and not something we had seen before. As English only speakers, we had a great time.

Neat little sake museum which is a solid intro into the historic process of making sake. It is a short train ride from Kobe station followed by a short walk. Quite a charming little building with a gift shop that has a range sake and some free tasters.

A nice, free (!!!), self-tour museum, which shows the detailed process of making sake. Nice displays and mannequins depicting the process. As negativity while I was there the staff was not really around. The sake “tasting” was minimal to non-existent and also the shop was limited.
