Takara Sake Factory
Last Sunday, Dan, James, and I all went on our first "vacationesque" family outing (outside of meals) ever - and it was to the Takara Sake Factory in Berkeley!
We haven't hung out with just friends in a group since James was born, so we figured it was about time! The Takara Sake Factory was very similar to the Scharffen Berger Factory in Emeryville - the factory was more sampling and less actual tour. But, considering it's a sake factory, and we got as many drinks as we wanted...no one complained! (No worries - we didn't drink much...except for James at his milk tank!) James even enjoyed the museum...there were huge bird sculpture mobiles hanging and turning on the ceiling and he LOVED watching them! It was a tour that the whole family enjoyed!
You can check out the Takara Sake website to see how sake is made and how to drop by for a tour if you're in the area...it was a lot of fun!

cute pics :)
It was hilarious looking in some of those big sake brewing barrels. In one of the barrels that was about as tall as I am, some people dropped in coins, train tickets...and in one of them we saw a credit card accidentally dropped in! We decided after seeing that card to let James sit in the *smaller* tubs.
That place looks really cool!!
Love the pictures!
