The Masumi Cellars

Masumi is Nagano’s most popular brand of sake. The operators pride themselves on the high quality of their product. The rice used to make it is polished on-site, and the sake is brewed using a combination of work by hand and machine. The brand takes its name from the Masumi Mirror, a treasure belonging to the Suwa Grand Shrine. In 1997, the owners opened a boutique in the brewery where visitors can shop for sake accoutrements and enjoy tastings in a room overlooking a 300-year-old pine tree.
