Translation - English The Kikumasamune Sake Brewing Museum, known for the "Kikumasamune" refined sake. A sake brewery was built on the grounds of the Kano family home in Mikage, Kobe in 1659. In 1960, it was dismantled and rebuilt in its current location alongside the clear waters of the Sumiyoshi River, and was opened to the general public as a museum of conservation. The building was destroyed in the Great Hanshin Earthquake. Fortunately, a large part of the items in its possession were saved and were able to be restored, and it was re-opened in 1999. On display are 566 items of sake brewing materials, the "Nada Sake Utensils", as important tangible native culture of Japan. This museum showcases the way of working of the sake brewers from that time. You can also sample various kinds of drinks and sake, such as freshly-produced pure sake, and special limited sake is also on sale.

Translation - English For when you want to eat yakitori in Shibuya! A selection of 5 yakitori restaurants you’ll want to know about in Shibuya
This time, an introduction to some popular “yakitori” restaurants in Shibuya! When you’ve finished work and the next day is a Friday off or something, you’ll want to have a drink as well! At that sort of time, it’s a yakitori restaurant you always want to go to. What you drink while you’re eating some delicious yakitori tastes even more delicious! For that reason, we’ll introduce you to some especially recommended yakitori restaurants that have been carefully selected from amongst the many drinking establishments in Tokyo’s Shibuya.
A store in Shibuya which somehow or other sells a huge amount of yakitori! “Toritake Main Branch”
3 minutes on foot from Shibuya Station.
A yakitori restaurant representative of Shibuya, very near Shibuya Mark City. Its sign is the smoke which is always coming out of the shop from the yakitori being grilled.
When all is said and done, its distinction is the amount of yakitori! The price of one stick is a bit on the high side, but still, you can be sufficiently satisfied with the volume. The lunchtime “yakitori bowl” is also recommended, with 3 sticks of splendidly big yakitori included as well!
