Takehara Sake Brewery Tour and Local Sake Tasting

Takehara City is a town that prospered since the Edo period through salt production and sake brewing. The historic preservation district still retains white-walled sake breweries. Historic breweries such as Taketsuru and Fujii offer brewery tours and tasting experiences. Sake brewed with Hiroshima's soft water is known for its smooth, easy-to-drink character. Takehara is also the birthplace of Masataka Taketsuru, the inspiration for the asadora 'Massan,' making it an irresistible spot for sake lovers and those interested in whiskey history.
