Enjoy Hiroshima’s winter gourmet of Oyster and fresh Ginjo-Sake in Kure

A private car will pick you up at Hiroshima Station and head to the oyster farm in Kure. You can enjoy the beauty of the Seto Inland Islands from the bridge on the way to the island. At Tobishima-Islands, 15-20 min. drives away from downtown of Kure-city, transfer to your own private jet from the port and cruise the calm waters. If you're lucky, you might be able to meet the small finless whales that live in the Seto Inland Sea.

Take a tour from a cruiser of the enthusiastic oyster landing operation at an oyster farm off the coast of Yasuura-cho, Kure City. You will also receive explanations on farming methods from the producers. Enjoy the charcoal-grilled oysters freshly caught right in front of you. You'll definitely fall in love with the rich flavor.

By private car, we arrived at Kara Sake Brewery in Higashihiroshima City, the birthplace of ginjo sake. This sake brewery has inherited the soft water brewing method of Senzaburo Miura, the father of ginjo sake, and serves freshly squeezed ginjo sake before bottling. In a Japanese-style room surrounding the Japanese garden that was also the setting for the movie, you will hear the secrets of the origin of ginjo sake from the master brewer (owner of the house). Enjoy pairing hors d'oeuvres made with oysters grown in the sea right in front of you with Ginjo sake.

For dinner, enjoy a full course meal to your heart's content, featuring original oyster dishes that overturn conventional wisdom, local sake, and the ultimate marriage at a seafood restaurant. Miso-grilled oysters, oyster hotpot, and oyster tempura are all special dishes that can only be tasted here. After dinner, a private car will take you to Hiroshima Station.
