Sake Festival

On 8th of October, we went to Sake festival in Saijo. About 40 min. from Hiroshima Sta. by JR Sanyo line. The festival was held on 8th and 9th.

Sake breweries were open for public, so we could go inside the breweries.
We also could taste sake for free and they sell the sake which we can not get in usual.

After that, we went to "Sake Hiroba" where we were really wanted to visit.
At Sake hiroba, they serve about 900 kinds of sake tasting. There is no limit so you can taste sake as much as you want. The place was already full of people and I saw lots of people sleeping on the ground who gave up to taste sake(it was still 2pm).

Even sake is made by rice, good sake tastes like fruit. That is really valuable experience even for us to taste and learn about sake.

I wanted to try 30 but too tough, I tried about 20. I do not remember well at last.

This festival is held in October. If you have interest, come and visit Saijo to enjoy sake next year.
