A Perfect Day at Sawanoi Sake Brewery - an escape from Tokyo hustle and bustle

#cityplaybook A Perfect Day at Sawanoi Just an hour away from Tokyo, I discovered the charming Sawanoi Sake Brewery in the valleys of Ome! Here’s a peek into my day: Sake Brewery Tour: We started with a guided tour of the brewery, learning the secrets behind crafting high-quality sake. And yes, I couldn’t resist a tasting session – the smooth, crisp flavor of their sake truly captures the spirit of this place. 🍶💧 Cafe Hopping: After the tour, I stopped by two adorable local cafes nearby. Each had its own unique charm – one offered fresh, handmade pastries with a view of the Tama River and a cup of matcha tea, while the other was nestled under a canopy of trees, perfect for a quiet moment with an amazing food cooked by the owner himself. - CAFE 雫 - Sawai Mountain Cafe (沢井マウンテンカフェ) Exploring the Area: Sawanoi has so much more than just amazing sake – it’s a place to slow down, breathe in the fresh air, and take in the natural beauty surrounding you. If you’re ever in Tokyo and want a quick getaway, I can’t recommend Sawanoi enough! It’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in Japan’s traditional sake culture and enjoy a day surrounded by nature. 🌿🍶 #sawanoisakebrewery #omejapan #sakeculture #tokyodaytrips #hiddengemsjapan #japantravel #sakelovers #explorejapan #natureandsake #100waysoftravel
