Degustação de Saquê de Meio Dia em Saijo e Tour Interno pela Cervejaria em Hiroshima

Perhaps because it was a weekday, I was the only participant that day. Luckily, I had a private tour. The guide, Isabella, was very friendly and explained everything in great detail. I learned a lot about the basic knowledge of sake and the history of Saijo becoming a sake town. The first stop was Miken Shrine. Isabella reminded me of many etiquette rules for shrines, which I hadn't paid attention to before, even though I had visited shrines previously. The first sake brewery was Kirei, where I tasted two types of sake and sake by-products. The second was Saijo Tsuru. The guide, Ione, explained the sake brewing process in great detail, and I learned a lot. The atmosphere of the tour was also very good. The third was the most famous, Kamotsuru. I tasted several types of Junmai Daiginjo and bought a few bottles of sake as souvenirs. Thank you to Isabella, Ione, and all the shop owners for their hospitality. I definitely want to come back to Saijo in the autumn sometime! 🤭

It's only been my husband and I on this tour with our guide. Thus, we had a great experience. Saijo is a small town rich in history. The tour through one of the sake breweries was super interesting. Our guide was sweet and knowledgeable. So, all in all, one of the best experiences on our travels to Japan.

Isabella war eine fantastische Reiseleiterin, die beste überhaupt! Sie verdient eine Gehaltserhöhung und eine zusätzliche Woche Urlaub pro Jahr!
