The historic town of Komatsu in Ishikawa Prefecture is home to the renowned sake brewery Kaetsu. This region, known for producing premium sake rice (Gohyakumangoku), enjoys a cold climate and pristine water from the sacred Mount Hakusan. Since the late Edo period, Kaetsu has quietly pursued the art of crafting pure, delicate sake with no off-flavors. Characterized by its refined umami and subtle, understated aroma, their sake continues to be cherished and enjoyed by many.
