Sapporo Beer Museum

In Japan, Hokkaido is where beer first originated. Since 1877, Sapporo has been the home of one of the nation's oldest and most well-known beer brands: Sapporo Beer. When visiting Sapporo, bring some food to eat because the beer garden and its two restaurants are the main attractions, notably the Genghis Khan Hall's all-you-can-eat BBQ and unlimited beer selections. In a former brewery from the Meiji Period, the Sapporo Beer Museum first opened its doors in 1987. The museum provides an introduction to the history of beer in Japan as well as the brewing process. Beer samples are offered following the exhibitions for a nominal price. As an alternative, there are paid Japanese-language excursions that conclude with a taste.

The Sapporo Beer Garden, which has a few eateries, is just next to the museum. There are numerous evocative beer halls among the eateries, as well as the more upscale Garden Grill restaurant. All-you-can-drink beer and all-you-can-eat mutton BBQ, a well-known regional dish named after the legendary Mongolian monarch Genghis Khan, are common at the beer halls (Jingisukan in Japanese).

The "Loop 88 Factory Line" bus, which stops at Odori Station and in front of the Seibu department store close to Sapporo Station, among other locations, may take you to the Beer Museum. Alternatively, you may walk there in 15 minutes from Higashi-kuyakusho-mae Station on the Toho Subway Line or in 25 minutes from JR Sapporo Station.
