Asahi Brewery, Suita (How to book a beer tour, how to go, and what to expect)

Posted on by Regine

My dad only had a few requests during our trip, and one of them was the visit the Asahi Brewery that was close to Osaka.

I read some blogs where they mentioned that although the tour was free, you have to book a reservation to secure your spot for the day.

I will be honest that booking a reservation online WAS NOT EASY since they were all in Japanese. There was an option to call the brewery so that you could reserve a slot but my friends were busy so I had no choice but to book online.

I took a screenshot for every step that I made so that I can help you guys.

So for the Suita Brewery, you will proceed to this site – click me. Open the link with your Safari browser (I’m a Mac user). If you access through Chrome, you won’t be able to complete your reservation, I already tried.

After the tour, they gave us free beer. This was not just any beer, it was their new product that will be released this March 2020.
