Overview

Saijo is one of the three major sake brewing area in Japan. There are seven sake breweries within walking distance of Saijo Station. You can efficiently tour all the breweries in only two hours while listening to the English speaking guide's explanation about the history and sake of each brewery. You can also sample the sake recommended by each brewery. You can taste various types of sake, such as Daiginjo, Junmai, and Cloudy sake, so you are sure to find your favourite sake. Some of the breweries do not usually offer sake tasting on weekdays, so it is very valuable to be able to sample sake from all the breweries.
If there is space available on the day of the tour, you can register up to 2 hours before the tour starts.
Please come and find your favourite sake!
