Explore the wonder of Japanese Sake on a cycling tour at Meiwa town
Shinto no Inori Saio is a prize-winning sake that is highly rated by international sake competitions every year. Take a water-themed cycling tour around Meiwa's waterways, spots connected to the Saio – the ancient princesses who the sake is named after, and the brewery where Shinto no Inori Saio is made. Get a feel for the town as you travel by bicycle and discover how this area produces such delicious crops and sake. Enjoy a lunch of local specialties tori misoyaki (chicken grilled in miso) and sake rice, and recharge your body with sake-flavored sweets. Enjoy the expansive skies and rural landscape of Meiwa on a journey by e-bike (electric-assisted bicycle).
