France-Ya 佛蘭西屋

Saijo (西条) is one of the top 3 famous sake district in Japan. We visited one of the largest brewery Kamotsuru (賀茂鶴酒造). As it was raining, we decided to go for lunch after that. We had to run to France-Ya (佛蘭西屋), a restaurant owned by the same brewery.

Only the Japanese restaurant on level was opened that day. Its specialty was the sake hotpot (美酒鍋).

The waitress poured about 500ml of sake into the pot. She did the whole cooking for us.

Hiroshima had some nice sake rices such as the Hiroshima Nishiki (広島錦).

Here is an external shot of the restaurant. It was still drizzling after lunch.
