Chitose Tsuru Sake Museum

This place is very underwhelming and I do not recommend. They offer the same cursory explanation of sake making that you can find anywhere. If you want to buy some sake, go for it. If you’re trying to learn about sake making or history, don’t bother.

A small-ish museum showing simple artifacts about the process of sake making. Alongside, there were quite beautiful and detailed bottles, jugs and other vessels for sake You can wear the traditional sake "uniform" (lack of the proper term) and there is a shop to purchase sake The pictures show was there fully is in the museum

Not actually a museum, though it has little displays. More of a sake store with interesting sake ice cream.

I thought it is a big Museum and as it turns out a small shop house type housing pictures, miniature and display of anything relating to making of sake(video). It sells various kind of sake here in big and small bottles. No sake tasting being offered. Bought a sake ice cream instead. Well, I can still walk straight after finishing that. Feel free to explore as it is also near to the nijo market.

The place to buy sake if you hadn't yet gotten around to buying any to take home. Informative video on loop and tiny museum display, but it's more of a shop than anything. The ice cream had only the vaguest hint of sake
