One of the sake breweries in Saijo TownThere is a small town called Saijo in Hiroshima Prefecture. It is about 30 minutes by JR train.
This small town is one of the most famous places for sake making.
There are more that 10 Sake breweries and each breweries make full-flavoured unique sake.
The other day I went to “Saijo Sake Festival” with some of J-Hoppers Hostel and Hana Hostel staff.
You can enjoy standing tasting in every corner of the town
We can taste a variety of sake at low prices (sometimes free !).
They also serve their local special pot dish (Bishu Nabe).
In the mail park, if you can enjoy all-sake-you-can-drink with 1500 yen ticket. You can drink not only Saijo local sakes, but also every kind of good sakes from all over Japan.
The Sake Festival is in early October every year. However, you could enjoy Saijo any time. Some sakagura (breweries) have free tasting service and if you like one, you can buy the bottles at a cheap price (without through wholesalers).
