poster for Sake Museum

Museum in The Kobe area

The Tatsuuma-Honke Brewing Company, known for producing the White Deer sake, founded the Sake Memorial Museum in 1982 (also the company's 320nd anniversary) to preserve living artifacts and the history of sake-making for the next generations. However, the Hanshin earthquake in 1995 destroyed many buildings in Kobe including the museum. The only remaining building was that of the current Sake Museum. In 1998, three years after the earthquake, the building was renovated inhttp://www.kansaiartbeat.com/admin/my_venues?action=edit&id=4A540C1Ecorporating parts of the Meiji-style architecture of the original building. The museum currently hosts two special exhibitions in the spring and fall, with items that range from calligraphy, crafts, documents and reference sources.
