Shiga Breweries
A historically important brewing region, Shiga uses the clear waters of Lake Biwa and the Hiei mountain system to produce sake with a rich, sweetly full-bodied character. Prefectural rice such as Tamai and Yamadanishiki support the crafting of deep, complex junmai-shu. The sake's mellow roundness complements Funa-zushi (crucian carp narezushi), Omi beef, and dishes seasoned with Japanese pepper miso.
Shiga sake is brewed with clear Lake Biwa water, producing a richly sweet, full-bodied style with mellow, rounded umami.
