    Hiroshima Pref. Takeharashi Honmachi 3-10-29
    A long-standing sake brewery in Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. It is famous as the birthplace of Taketsuru Masataka, the father of Japanese whisky. Available for purchase here are special sakes that can’t be bought anywhere else. This location has drawn lots of fans and tourists after being used as the model location for an NHK drama.

    竹原駅から徒歩15分ほど。 町並み保存地区のメイン通りに面して立つ酒蔵。1733年創業。ニッカウヰスキーの創業者・竹鶴政孝の生家として有名。入口の戸にPayPayのシールが貼られていたので酒は販売していると思われるが、「当所の見学はできません」という張り紙が「中に入ったら必ず何か買えよ」と威圧しているようで入店は諦めた。

    Hiroshima Higashi-hiroshima-shi Saijohonmachi 8-18

    7つの酒蔵が建ち並ぶ西条の酒蔵通り。その中間あたりの道路沿いに、亀齢酒造がありました。 こちらの「亀齢」というお酒は、長寿と繁栄の願いが込められたネーミングなんだとか。敷地内には、こちらの蔵の直売所「万年亀舎(まねきや)」があり、試飲できるんですよ。

    Hiroshima Pref. Higashihiroshimashi Saijouokamachi 6-9
    This is a small sake brewery established in 1912 located in Saijyouoka Town, Higashihiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture. The numerous high quality sakes brewed using the local soft water including the Sourin Nama, have a refreshing and refined distinctive taste. In the premises there is a whole-sale store and the company’s brand sake and sake-ware are sold. The five-sake set which has five main quality sakes included to compare the taste, is a popular souvenir. The traditional Japanese style restaurant Kappo Shinsuke also operates in a renovated sake cellar.

    事前に調べた結果、賀茂鶴や白牡丹など有名で百貨店でに出ていたりしますが、山陽鶴酒造は百貨店に出ないし好きなにごりがあったので行ってみました。お目当てのお酒はありましたが、試飲するのに有料ですしたね。それも有料という量ではなく試飲程度の量でした。買わないと思われたのでしょうか??お目当てのお酒は好みの味で美味しいのに飲程度の量でお金取るとは…。今回は買いましたが、次回西条に行っても寄らないでしょう。

    Hiroshima Pref. Higashihiroshimashi Saijouhonmachi 15-5
    Founded in 1675 by a descendent of Shima Sakon (Kiyo-oki), retainer to Ishida Mitsunari, is a distinguished, longstanding brewery that currently operates five warehouses. It uses traditional methods to produce sake with a sweet taste compared to other Hiroshima sake. It has many other brand-name sake as well with a deep flavor and a pleasing finish, which are loved not only by locals but also intellectuals. There’s an exhibit room where visitors can see the earthenware jars used to store the sake and vats for brewing, as well as letters and illustrations by Shiko Munakata, who created the white camellia label. Visitors can also sample some sake and purchase items exclusively available at the brewery. The nearest station is Saijo Station.

    Hiroshima Etajima Etajimacho Chuo 2-27-1
    This sake brewery is the only one in Etajima City and is famous for making the Doki no Sakura sake brand. The company was established in 1907 and has continued to make high quality sakes using underground spring water from sacred Mt. Furutaka since that time. Doki no Sakura, a product the company has poured its passion and love into, was called “Homare” before World War II and was a favorite of naval academy staff as one of the varieties officially supplied to the Imperial Navy. Customers rave about its medium-dry flavor and rich rice aroma. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force First Service School (formerly the Naval Academy) is located a five-minute walk away, and many tourists make sure to check out the facility along with the brewery.

    Hiroshima Pref. Miharashi Higashimachi 1-chome 5-58

    万葉集の歌に「吉備の酒」として詠まれる等、三原は古くから酒の銘醸地として知られています。江戸時代、多くの酒は濁り酒であったころから、三原では既に現代の酒に近い清酒の醸造がされていたということです。 しかし、現在では三原に残っているのはこの「醉心山根本店」のみとなりました。趣ある建物の中に入ることができ、予約をしておけば見学もさせていただけます。 醉心の歴史、横山大観と醉心の結びつきなどもお聞き...

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
