KURABITO STAYは、第二弾！蔵人になれるまちSAKU 蔵人体験&酒蔵めぐりバスツアー（１泊２日）参加者を募集しています！
 
KURABITO STAY Presents: An Overnight Bus Tour (2 Days, 1 Night) Where You Can Experience Sake Brewing and Visit Saku’s Breweries!

 
 

蔵人になれるまち長野県佐久市。
豊かな水資源と自然環境を活かして300年以上前から酒造りが盛んな地域で、今も13蔵がひしめく日本でも有数の酒どころとして知られています。
東京からは新幹線で90分と好アクセス。（複数のバス会社が提供する高速バス路線もございます。）
「佐久の酒蔵めぐりをしたいのに運転が・・・」、「公共交通サービスでは蔵元にたどり着けない」というお客様のお声を受けて、１泊２日の蔵人体験と酒蔵めぐりをセットにした企画を作りました。

 

Visit the city of Saku in Nagano, where you can become a sake brewer.
Blessed with abundant water and natural resources, Saku has been a center of sake production for over three centuries, and thirteen breweries continue to produce sake here to this day.
Just 90 minutes from Tokyo by Shinkansen bullet train and with multiple highway buses available as well, Saku is easily accessible. For those who want to visit Saku’s breweries but are concerned about having to drive (certain breweries are not accessible by train), Kurabito Stay is proud to offer a 2-day, 1-night overnight bus tour that includes visits to multiple breweries as well as a hands-on sake brewing experience!

 
 

酒蔵めぐりでは、通常は蔵見学を受け入れていない蔵元の酒造り職人だけしか立ち入ることが許されない職人の仕事場を特別に見せていただいたり、昔ながらの酒造りを続けている創業３２０年の橘倉酒造では、本格的な蔵人体験に挑戦。（ご宿泊は、佐久平駅近くの老舗旅館「佐久ホテル」です。）ツアー中にご提供するお食事は、「佐久の日本酒」とのペアリングを意識したメニューをご用意。各設定日によって、訪れる蔵元も異なります。

 

Through this tour, you’ll be able to visit even breweries that typically do not open their doors to the public, and see the normally off-limits areas where brewers use time-honored techniques to produce sublime sake. At Kitsukura Shuzo Co.LTD, a brewery with a 320-year history, you’ll have the chance to become a sake brewer and experience the brewing process for yourself. (Accommodations will be provided at the Saku Hotel, a traditional Japanese-style inn near Sakudaira station.) As part of the tour, you’ll enjoy meals prepared to pair wonderfully with Saku’s delicious brews of sake. The specific breweries you visit will vary by the tour schedule.

 
 

お一人参加大歓迎！ご夫婦、お友達同士のご参加は、蔵人体験を通してさらに絆が深まること間違いなしです。皆様のご予約をお待ちしております。


Participants are welcome to come alone, or together with a spouse or friends. Brewing sake together is sure to help you forge new bonds with those around you. We look forward to welcoming you to Saku!
