Hyogo Breweries

The birthplace of Yamadanishiki rice, Hyogo — particularly the Nada and Nishinomiya areas — is Japan's most storied brewing region, producing a full-bodied, bone-dry sake with powerful umami and a sharp clean finish. The unique mineral properties of Miyamizu water give the sake its distinctive character, and cold winter brewing intensifies the flavor. Pairs superbly with Kobe beef, Akashi octopus, and Harima conger eel.

Hyogo's sake — particularly from the Nada brewing district — is celebrated for its full-bodied, bone-dry power, brewed with Yamadanishiki rice and Miyamizu water.
