    Overview


    Kamoizumi Shuzo Brewery is located in Higashi-Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, just a five-minute walk from JR Saijo Station.
     Known as one of Japan's three major sake-producing regions, Saijo has a deep history, with the brewery established in the first year of the Taisho era.
    The brewery does not have seating for guests, as it primarily focuses on sake production, but visitors can experience its charm through tastings and tours.
     Kamoizumi is particularly known for its junmai sake, with the beautiful amber-colored junmai sake called "Hajime" being popular.
     This sake is not subjected to activated carbon filtration, allowing for the enjoyment of its natural flavors.
     Additionally, the high-end sake "Kojyu," priced at over 5,000 yen for 720ml, captivates many fans with its elegant aroma and the rich umami of the rice.
     Its quality was proven when it was served at the G7 Hiroshima Summit.
    The sake from Kamoizumi has a crisp and dry impression, but there are also fresh options available, such as the "Shiboritate Nama Sake Junmai Ginjo," which is available only from December to March, featuring freshness and drinkability.
     This variety of sake appeals to visitors from all over Japan.
    Moreover, every year on the second Sunday of October and the preceding day, a "Sake Festival" is held in the region, drawing many people.
     Kamoizumi Shuzo Brewery also participates in this festival, offering new encounters and discoveries.
     The warm hospitality and atmosphere, despite being a small establishment, make it a delightful place to connect with the staff.
    At Kamoizumi, tasting experiences are available, and guests can also purchase souvenirs.
     This is a great opportunity to find a favorite sake that suits one's taste.
     Additionally, the sake pairs well with various dishes from across Japan, allowing for a luxurious experience at home.
    We encourage you to visit and enjoy a part of this traditional Japanese culture.
     A wonderful encounter with delicious sake awaits you.
