"Masuichi" is the name of the brewery operated since the Horeki years of the Edo period (around 1750) by the Ichimura family, who also run the Obusedo confectionary. This is also the main store for the brewery, and has a counter, called a "teppa" in the local dialect as well. Here customers may try the different varieties of sake before they make a purchase. Upstairs are rooms where the brewers sleep during the brewing season, one corner of the store contains the "yori-tsuki," a break room and meeting room for the brewers, traditional scenery for breweries.

This Japanese restaurant was built in an old part (bu) of the Masuichi-Ichimura brewery (kura), hence the name "Kurabu" or The Club. You can enjoy sake made right here in the brewery along with rice steamed over the wood-burning oven displayed in the middle of the restaurant. The cuisine is styled after the simple fried, boiled, and steamed food that the brewers eat in the "yori-tsuki" during the brewing season (The three months of winter).

The proprietor of Masuichi named the hotel Kyakuden (meaning guest house) from his feeling that he would like to be able to let guests stay at his own home. The same architect who designed The Club and the Masuichi-Ichimura Sake Brewery Honten store, John Morford, designed this hotel to be the kind of place he would like to stay at if he came to Obuse. Designed around three earthen storehouses which formerly belonged to an old sugar seller, and seven wooden houses, the interior is furnished in a Western fashion.

prepared and presented in a modern and new way, creating a veritable showroom of vegetables. In September and October the cuisine naturally revolves around chestnuts, so the customers can come and see the fruits of the year's harvest for themselves.
