Founded in Chiba, Iinuma Honke is a historic sake brewery offering a special lunch experience that pairs seasonal Japanese cuisine with its signature sake.

The lunch is held at Kinoene Omoya, a beautifully preserved Japanese house with over 300 years of history, now recognized as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property. This elegant space harmonizes traditional architectural elements—such as wooden beams and intricate joinery—with refined modern design.

The meal follows Japan’s traditional 24 solar terms, featuring seasonal ingredients thoughtfully crafted into a multi-course Japanese menu. Guests can opt to enjoy recommended sake pairings matched to each dish, showcasing the harmony between food and sake.

Iinuma Honke’s sake is brewed using pure natural water drawn from a well on-site, and rice carefully polished in their own milling facility. The result is a clean, crisp flavor profile unique to their process.

English menus are available in advance, making the experience welcoming and stress-free for international guests. Just a short trip from central Tokyo, this is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in Japan’s rich culinary and cultural heritage.
