In 2023, the historic Fumimoto Brewery, after 120 years, reopened with renovations, continuing its legacy of sake-making with water from the pristine Shimanto River. The brewery features a pairing bar in its main building, where visitors can savor top-tier Daiginjo-Sake made with local Niida Rice, enjoy outdoor BBQ, and other local dishes. Preserving its quaint exterior, the interior fuses traditional with modern designs. Committing to environmental sustainability, it uses reusable spouted bottles.
