Japanese Sake-1[2017 3rd Term]Hiroshima Sake Brewers Association

“Hiroshima Sake” features a flavorful taste, with a warm and crisp, rich aroma. At the First National Alcoholic Beverage Competition held at a brewing research institute in Tokyo in 1907, “Hiroshima Sake” won hands down, being awarded first and second prize among the five awards for excellence, which instantly raised Hiroshima’s reputation as an established sake brewing center.
