Shopping Spots
Sasame Sobei Shoten is a sake brewery that was established in 1873 in Kasama City. It's located at the entrance to the approach of Kasama Inari Shrine. The brewery produces sacred sake (omiki)―alcoholic offerings presented to
the gods during special Shinto rituals and ceremonies―particularly for Kasama Inari Shrine. Their signature brand, Futabayama Matsumidori, has been offered as sacred sake for ceremonial occasions for many years.
At Sasame Sobei Shoten, sake is brewed using only from carefully selected sake rice, while making full use of their pristine water sources and the climate blessed by the changing seasons. Please enjoy their traditionally handcrafted sake, noted for its fragrant aroma and gentle, refined flavor.
On the store premises, visitors can experience kakuuchi—a unique Japanese custom of drinking alcohol right at the liquor store. This gives guests the opportunity to experience more than the century-old traditions of Sasame Sobei Shoten as well as Kasama's rich culture.
