Saitama Breweries

Saitama benefits from snowmelt water from the Chichibu mountains and high-quality groundwater throughout the plain, producing a clean, crisp dry sake. The flavor retains a pleasant, moderate umami, and classic rice varieties such as Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku are widely used. The sake enhances salty local dishes like Chichibu shaku-sana-zuke pickles, Fukaya green onion cuisine, and Kumagaya udon.
