~Traditional sake brewing in a restored brewery that retains the atmosphere of the Meiji era [Saijo Tsuru Jozo]
We will talk about the historical background of Saijo, the compatibility of local cuisine and sake, the four seasons of the sake brewery, the difference between sake and wine, and traditional Hiroshima-style sake brewing, while showing you around the actual sake brewery that is not usually open to the public. We will also look into the mystery of why Saijo, where people have lived for 1,000 years, became a town of sake breweries. Photography inside the sake brewery is completely allowed. After the tour of the sake brewery, there is a fun tasting time. The brewer will teach you about the unique way to taste mild water and sake.
