    This sake brewery is dedicated to brewing Japanese sake with a focus on local rice, water, and the people involved.
     They particularly use Kyoto-produced rice varieties such as "Gohyakkumangoku," "Iwai," and "Nihonbare," and for Yamada Nishiki, they have a contract cultivation agreement with farmers in Ayabe.
     The water source is groundwater taken from a depth of 100 meters, drawn from the Kizugawa river's spring water, and they take pride in its quality.
     This commitment has resulted in sake that has recently gained recognition and is loved by many.
