Birthplace of ginjo sake and the largest concentration of sake breweries in Hiroshima
Saijo
Saijo
At its peak, more than 30 sake breweries competed with each other, and the water of Saijo has a great deal to do with the development of Saijo breweries. The water in Saijo is basically soft water, but even soft water has a relatively high degree of hardness, making it suitable for sake brewing. Saijo’s sake, which was slowly brewed with water containing just the right amount of minerals, increased production capacity and the transportation capacity of the Sanyo Main Line, which opened to Saijo in the middle of the Meiji era, and the supply capacity increased dramatically. It supported the Hiroshima sake boom in Japan.
