Private Sake-Making Experience｜ANAインターコンチネンタル別府リゾート＆スパ

Ioue Shuzou (Hita, Oita)

Visit Inoue Shuzo, a sake brewery founded in 1804 with 222 years of history, for a private experience that takes you into the heart of sake making alongside the brewery’s master brewer. Step into areas normally accessible only to those involved in the craft, while discovering the history of sake making passed down through generations, the dedication behind each bottle, and the passion of the people who bring it to life.Of course, tasting freshly made sake is part of the experience. But this is about more than simply learning about sake. Walk through the very places where it is made, listen to the words of the brewers, and discover the stories and traditions that lie behind every sip.
Depending on the season, guests may also take part in the sake-making process itself, from rice harvesting to brewing. Working alongside the brewers, you can experience firsthand the care and dedication that go into each sake, becoming part of its story. Rather than simply observing as a visitor, the opportunity to engage with sake from the perspective of its makers is what makes this private experience truly special.

In the evening, the journey continues with a pairing dinner featuring the hotel’s original sake, crafted through its relationship with Inoue Shuzo, alongside dishes made with the finest seasonal ingredients from Oita. The flavours of the land, the traditions discovered at the brewery, and the stories of the people who shape them come together at the table, offering a new perspective on the region through every dish and every glass.
From visiting the place where sake comes to life, to discovering the passion of its makers, becoming part of its story, and finally savouring its flavours alongside the bounty of the land, this is a unique local gastronomy journey that brings together the nature, culture, people, and cuisine of Oita.
