What to expect

During the samurai era, Dejima was Japan's only open diplomatic port while the rest of the country remained closed to the world. The experience takes place at a brewery that produces doburoku, Japan's oldest traditional sake, located in an area that symbolizes cultural exchange.

Doburoku is a brewed alcoholic beverage made from rice and water, and it is considered the origin of sake. The ingredients are carefully selected, and the brewer uses all their skills to express the unique character of each one. Therefore, nothing goes to waste. Doburoku is an alcoholic beverage that powerfully expresses the distinct characteristics of its ingredients.

This experience offers the opportunity to enjoy doburoku alongside Nagasaki's local cuisine at the brewery's on-site bar.

At Dejima Hosendo, the entire process of making authentic Ginjo sake is carried out solely by the hands of a single brewer, combining the best techniques refined through years of sake brewing.

Guests are welcomed by the proprietress at a modern Japanese-style counter, where a variety of house-made doburoku is served alongside small dishes inspired by Nagasaki's food culture.
