Two hours is enough to walk the brewery street at a gentle pace, and a half day lets you go inside a brewhouse, which most free tastings don’t include. Come between late autumn and early spring and you may smell the rice steaming, since that’s brewing season.
Offering an immersive exploration of Hiroshima's renowned sake brewing heritage, this 2-hour private tour promises a delightful blend of education and indulgence.
