Mt. Ryuo, which overlooks the town of Higashihiroshima, is the source where renowned water is born. Rainwater from Mt. Ryuo takes over 15 years to percolate, emerging as underground water rich in minerals suitable for sake brewing. By experiencing the nature of Mt. Ryuo and tracing the source water, you can feel a deep “connection with nature”.
The Sakagura-dori street, once a thriving post town during the Edo period, boasts seven breweries. Utilizing the underground water from Ryuo Mountain as its source, traditional sake brewing has been continued.
By strolling through the charming streets known as ‘Sake Capital Saijo,’ you will feel a “connection with the local community.”
Akitsu, known as a good natural port since ancient times, is nurtured by the mild climate of the Seto Inland Sea, where a variety of agricultural products are grown and oysters are cultivated.
Akitsu is also known as the “birthplace of Toji,” or master brewer, who contributed to Hiroshima’s sake, and the town is filled with people’s passion for sake.
You will feel the power of the connections between people who care about sake.
During the tour’s lunch, you will enjoy a meal menu crafted from the blessings of the sea and mountains, born from abundant water resources, paired with the traditionally refined sake of Saijo.
You will be presented with a special sake cup, engraved with the traditional design of snake eyes(a double ring), and our “KAMOSU TABI” original logo. Enjoy the taste of Japanese sake with this special cup.
