Ginjo-shu is one of the most famous types of sake. This tour will take you to Akitsu, the birthplace of ginjo-shu, and Saijo, one of Japan’s three major sake brewery regions, to learn about sake while tasting Hiroshima's sake. The tour guide will explain about sake and sake brewing methods in Hiroshima, so you can deepen your knowledge of sake. Lunch will be served at a restaurant owned by Kamotsuru Sake Brewery, one of Saijo's sake breweries, where you can enjoy the famous local dish "Bishu-nabe" (sake hot pot). During the sake brewery tour, you will be given a sake stamp book so that you can keep your own memories of your sake brewery tour by picking up a representative sake label at each brewery you visit, pasting it on the book, and writing your impressions of the sake.
The meeting place is in front of the entrance of Hiroshima Station General Information Center at 9:15 in the morning. It takes about 11 minutes from Hiroshima Station to Higashi-Hiroshima Station by Shinkansen bullet train.
A cab will take you from Higashi-Hiroshima Station to the sightseeing spots. Cab fare is included in the trip fee.
Senzaburo Miura laid the foundation for the spread of Hiroshima sake. We will visit Sakakiyama Hachiman Shrine in Akitsu Town, where his bronze statue is located, to learn about his achievements. After visiting the shrine, we’ll receive a shrine stamp.
