The abundant waters of Chikugo River as well as the large grain rice and fragrant Hita cedar trees in the Jojima area make it an excellent place for brewing sake<\/em>. Even today, many sake<\/em> breweries remain active, and every year in February, the Jojima Sake Festival & Brewery Hopping event attracts approximately 110,000 people. This kurabiraki<\/em> event gives visitors a great opportunity to sample each brewery\u2019s sake<\/em> including new sake<\/em> available only during the event period, and amazake<\/em>. The main venue will also offer sake<\/em> tasting and will serve a range of local delicacies such as Jojima unagi<\/em> (eel) and sweets made with sake<\/em> lees. A free shuttle bus will run between the seven participating breweries and the main venue so visitors can take in the local scenery while trying some of the best sake<\/em> around!<\/p>\n
