Fussa's Tamura Shuzojo Opens "&KASEN" on July 1! A New Sake Hub Where Food, Vessels, and Experience Come Together
Fussa's historic sake brewery, Tamura Shuzojo, is opening a new sake hub called "&KASEN" on July 1.
The complex lets you enjoy food, vessels, space, and experiences all in one place — just a 10-minute walk from Fussa Station.
Let's take a closer look at how over 200 years of brewing culture is stepping into a new era.
A New Hub Born from Over 200 Years of Brewing
626 Fussa, Fussa City, Tokyo.
Tamura Shuzojo sits about a 10-minute walk from JR Ome Line's Fussa Station.
Founded in the fifth year of the Bunsei era (1822), this storied brewery has safeguarded the "Kasen" brand for over two centuries.
On July 1, 2026, the complex experience facility "&KASEN (Ando Kasen)" will have its grand opening on the brewery grounds.
The facility covers approximately 564 square meters.
It combines four elements — food, vessels, space, and experience — in a single location, a style unlike any sake brewery before it.
Food and Vessels Expand the Sake Experience
At the heart of the facility are a creative Japanese cuisine restaurant and a SAKE-Bar.
Guests can leisurely enjoy Tamura Shuzojo's sake lineup — including "Kasen" and "Tamura" — alongside their meals.
One standout feature is the attention given to vessels.
The "&KASEN" brand will also offer sake cups and related items designed to deepen the enjoyment of nihonshu.
The facility is designed so that drinking, eating, and browsing can all be experienced together under one roof.
From each area inside the building, you can also look out over a lush garden.
It's the kind of quiet setting that's hard to believe exists within Tokyo.
Brewery Tours Get a Refresh — the "Experience" Grows
Tamura Shuzojo has long welcomed visitors for brewery tours, and those tours have been renewed to coincide with the opening of &KASEN.
The revamped program lets guests see the brewing floor up close while learning how nihonshu is made.
Also worth watching are the new brand lines launching alongside the facility.
Three new lines — "Kasen EDO," "Kasen TOKYO," and "&KASEN" — join the lineup, stretching the options from time-honored tradition to contemporary urban appeal.
Bottles available exclusively to in-store visitors are planned as well, adding one more reason to make the trip.
Fussa's Brewing Culture Opens a New Door
Fussa City is home to two long-established breweries founded in the Edo period — Tamura Shuzojo and Ishikawa Shuzo — and has long been known for sake brewing that draws on the sub-surface water of the Tama River.
Tamura Shuzojo has been at the center of that tradition, supporting the city's brewing culture for generations.
"&KASEN" is more than just a new facility; it's a place to share Fussa's culture with the wider world through sake.
As visitors gather from inside and outside the city, the ripple effects on activity around Fussa Station are something to look forward to.
For the latest details on the facility, visit the Tamura Shuzojo official website, where information is updated regularly.
Check the official source before the opening for hours and reservation details.
10 Minutes from Fussa Station — July 1 Can't Come Soon Enough
The facility is a roughly 10-minute walk from JR Ome Line's Fussa Station.
The address is 626 Fussa, Fussa City, Tokyo.
It's just the right distance for a weekend day trip.
A new chapter — food, vessels, space, and experience — is being added to Tamura Shuzojo's 200-year brewing history.
Whether you're a sake enthusiast or just curious, July 1 is a date to look forward to.
