Though I’ve been on a number of brewery tours since starting this blog, the one at the Cantillon Brewery might have been my favourite.
If you’re in Fukuoka and you’re into beer, you’re probably going to want to check out the Asahi Brewery tour.
When you think of whisky, the first thing that comes to mind is probably either Scotch whisky, or American bourbon. But I think more and more people are starting to realize that Japan is putting out some whiskies that easily rival anything coming out of Scotland.
If you have any interest in beer and an hour or so to kill, you could certainly do worse than checking out the Kirin Brewery in Yokohama, which is about a half hour train ride from Tokyo.
For one thing, you can’t beat the price: it’s absolutely free, and they give you a bunch of beer to sample.
