This is exactly the “sake” of Hiroshima

Let's find the best sake in Hiroshima

Hiroshima has all three conditions necessary for sake brewing: rice, water, and climate. It is a famous brewery with more than 50 breweries scattered in the prefecture. Tastes vary depending on the area where they are built, so let's look for your favorite one while walking around the land. We also recommend wineries that have locally produced wines that go well with Hiroshima gourmets.

Sake brewery “Hiroshima sake” with a variety of flavors

Let's start on a trip to find your favorites!

Saijo in Higashihiroshima is one of the most famous breweries in Japan. The white walls and red brick chimneys are impressive on Sakagura-dori.
The tasteful cityscape gives you a sense of history as a city of sake. You can choose rare items such as brands and limited brews that are not widely distributed outside the local area, or you can dare to choose alcoholic beverages that are “usually drunk” by local drinkers.
Since there are seven breweries in Saijo alone, it is also a pleasure to travel to worry about which brand to buy.
