Ogimachi, a town rich in the atmosphere of a castle town, is known for Shimizu Falls, selected as one of Japan’s top 100 famous waters, and for its fireflies. Koyanagi Sake Brewery, founded during the Bunka era (1804-1817), still retains the ambiance of an Edo-period brewery. Using the pure spring water from Mount Tenzan and locally grown rice, they strive to create sake that even connoisseurs praise. ‘We aim to make sake that young people and women will enjoy. While incorporating a preference for dry sake, we remain committed to our distinctive taste without being swayed by trends,’ they say, showing enthusiasm for developing new products.
