Experience of the stay
I stayed at the "SAKE Kura Hotel Kawasaki", where all drinks, including sake, are unlimited, and you can also enjoy all-you-can-eat food like oden and snacks. It was truly an amazing experience, and I want to share its charm and recommended ways to spend your time there!
First and foremost, you can enjoy the sake "Amuhuri" from Yoshikawa Brewing to your heart's content, included in the accommodation fee. The unlimited sake flow was like a dream. I could thoroughly compare the differences in sake quality brought out by brewing with hard water, and I even enjoyed cocktails made with sake, vastly expanding my understanding of the sake world. The unique aspect of receiving sake directly from the brewery made me feel like I was hearing the passion behind sake production and the best ways to enjoy it firsthand, which was an unparalleled delight.
The entire hotel is unified with the concept of "Kura" (倉), and the elegantly vintage furnishings reminiscent of a place where rice and treasures were once stored made me feel a sense of calm as I experienced the renaissance of Kawasaki's 400-year history along with modern values. While the sake brewery bar is said to be accessible to non-overnight guests, personally, I would recommend staying overnight and indulging in "Amuhuri" in this space to your heart's content.
The rooms were particularly exceptional, designed with a focus on a modern Japanese style, perfectly recreating a space for enjoying sake. Decorated with antique Imari ware and Nishijin weaving art, it felt like a “treasure sleeping in the storehouse”, elevating the mood of the stay. To leisurely enjoy drinks with a loved one without being disturbed and without worrying about time or being seen is, in my heartfelt opinion, the ultimate way to "drink" that Yoshikawa Brewing has strived to achieve. Room service is also available, allowing for a truly carefree experience, dedicated solely to the enjoyment of sake and the space itself.
It was a blissful time immersed in the history of Kawasaki's 400-year legacy and the depths of sake and rice. This unique sake experience is something I would highly recommend trying, not just for sake lovers, but for everyone.
Experiences during the trip
A 2-3 minute walk from the inn is the "Tokaido BEER Kawasaki Factory". It's a craft beer brewpub. If you want to enjoy both sake and beer, definitely check it out!
