Iwate Breweries
Iwate is home to the Nanbu Toji guild, one of Japan's most celebrated brewing traditions, producing sake prized for its rich umami and gently sweet, full-bodied flavor. Clear spring water from the Ou Mountains supports careful low-temperature fermentation that draws out the richness of local rice like Gin-otome and Kamenoo. It suits warming dishes such as Hittsu-mii hotpot, Nanbu Senbei-jiru, and Jajamen noodles.
