The Saijo prefecture is renowned for its sake and it is a beautiful region that boasts of cool temperatures and famous sake breweries. The prefecture features eight breweries that sit close to the Saijo Station. During the months of brewing, a fine sake scent will drift through the air in the region. In the 16th century, the wine has been produced in the region, but the region started bustling as a center for sake production in the last century. The Saijo prefecture has seen the invention of several varieties of sake techniques that were discovered in the region. Since the region’s best water sits on a tiny part of the region, many of the breweries are situated near that area. These breweries are packed together and feature a characteristic look, including a high chimney and black and white buildings. Breweries in the region combine the water with rice grown in Hiroshima, which produces distinguished Saijo sake that features light flavors. Every year, the region hosts a Sake Festival where almost 1,000 varieties of the wine can be tasted. Every brewery will join in on the 2 day event and the festival draws in almost 200,000 visitors. Visitors can also take a tour of a sake brewery and sample varieties of the wine.
