From historic sake breweries to world-renowned whiskies, this film takes you on a sensory journey through the rich brewing and distilling heritage of Saitama Prefecture, located just north of Tokyo.
In the serene town of Ogawa, we visit Seiun Brewery and Mikasomatsu Matsuoka Brewery to discover the essence of sake crafted from pure local spring water. In the nostalgic streets of Kawagoe, we explore the modern craftsmanship of Musashino Distillery’s unique gins and the globally acclaimed COEDO BREWERY. Our journey continues to Kazo, where Kamaya showcases over 270 years of brewing tradition.
The tour culminates in Chichibu, a mecca for whisky enthusiasts. We dive into the passion of Venture Whisky at Highlander Inn Chichibu and find relaxation at Matsuri no Yu, where hot springs meet the perfect local pour.
Experience the “Spirit of Saitama”—where every drop tells a story of the land, the culture, and the artisans who call it home.
