Saijyo Sake Festival !!
The Sake Festival will be held in Saijo town this weekend, 10th and 11th of October.
In Saijo there are many sake breweries, one of the towns in Japan famous for the production of sake. You can go around the breweries and enjoy sake tasting.
In the Sake Hiroba, you can get your own little cup with 1300yen (1600yen on the day), and participants can taste about 900 different samples of sake from all over Japan.
(There is no re-admission to the Sake Hiroba, so if you want to do tour the breweries and go around the back streets, you should probably do that first.)
Each sake brewery also hosts various elaborate events, such as concerts at the brewery, and more than 200,000 tourists take part in the festivities.

Kumi's recommendation
Today I'd like to recommend a sweets from Miyajima called
"Age Momiji". Which means "Fried Momiji".
Momiji Manju is our local sweets from Miyajima. (top picture)
If you fry this, it's called Age Momiji.
It's really delicious!!
You can get these in Miyajima Island or near the ferry terminal.
I often go to the one in the Island.
Once you eat it, you'll never forget this taste!
