Overview

Embark on a tour of Saijo district in Hiroshima and discover the inner workings of a brewery and find out how delicious and authentic sake is made! Your tour begins with a tasting and sake explanation at Kamotsuru. This sake brewery is representative of Hiroshima sake. Kamotsuru boasts an impressive line up of 12 unique bottles! Visiting this spot first you will see many artifacts and learn about the brewing process (but please note that the sake brewing process in not available to the public in Japan due to sanitary and health inspection regulations).

After your first brewery visit, head off to try a local specialty hot-pot dish made with premium sake, called Bishu Nabe, and other tasting plates made with Saijo ingredients. Learn about the history of this tasty dish at a local lunch spot. (bishu nabe must be ordered in advance so for last minute bookings for the tour you may have an alternate lunch menu.)

After filling up on a delicious lunch, stroll the picturesque streets and go brewery hoping. Tasting rooms are unique and you can sample many kinds of sake and sake based products. Finally wrap up the tour with a visit to a local cafe and enjoy sweets and a snack break inspired by Japanese rice wine.
