Sake Kasu (Sake Lees) Cuisine of Saijo

A variety of dishes featuring sake lees, exclusive to Saijo, one of Japan's three major sake-producing regions. In Saijo—a renowned brewing area alongside Nada and Fushimi—seven breweries are clustered within walking distance of the station. This is a town of sake, blessed with the pristine underground water of Mount Ryuo and the characteristic temperature fluctuations of a basin. The local food culture is rooted in the practice of using every bit of high-quality sake lees produced during the sake-making process without waste. Dishes like Kasujiru, which warms you to the core, and flavorful Kasuzuke are the crystallization of wisdom unique to this brewing district. Their mellow flavor and high nutritional value make them a delightful treat during the cold season. Please experience the profound depth of this sake town through its cuisine.
