Explore the history of sake brewing in Aki's Little Kyoto
Takehara is called "Aki's Little Kyoto" because of its history of prospering as a manor of Shimogamo Shrine in Kyoto during the Heian period. The area of Takehara, which flourished as a salt-making industry, had long hours of sunshine and little rainfall, making it an ideal environment for salt farms. This environment is also suitable for rice cultivation, and along with the local economy that is enriched by rice and salt fields, sake brewing has greatly developed in the Taisho era. In its heyday, there were 26 sake breweries. We still make sake at three breweries. This time, we propose a plan to visit Takehara and Akitsu-cho, Higashi-Hiroshima Prefecture, where Senzaburo Miura, who is said to be the "father of ginjo sake", started the sake brewing business.
