Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Museum
白鶴酒造資料館, hakutsuru shuzōshiryōkan
This museum is inside a former brewery, and features traditional tools, dioramas and English-language videos to explain the sake-making processes. At the end, you can sample some sake, which is non-pasteurized, presumably because it doesn't have to travel far from the factory. Write your name on a piece of paper provided by the guard and return that at the end.
