The town has eight breweries, seven of which are situated along Sakagura-Dori (Sake Brewery Street). On our tour, we will take a stroll through the historic streets going from brewery to brewery to enjoy samples of local sake.
Saijo breweries are concentrated in such a tight area because of the âshikomi mizu,â the water that is essential for producing sake. Hailed as a âmiracle waterâ with a medium hardness suited to sake brewing, it bubbles under the ground of this area in the Saijo district. Whatâs more, is that apparently there are subtle differences in the waterâs components according to a breweryâs location. Shikomi Mizu is an absolute must for sake.
If you want to discover the true taste of sake you must visit Saijo (Hiroshima Prefecture)
