'Nada Go-go' region - the best sake-producing region in Japan created by renowned 'Miyamizu' water that springs in Nishinomiya.
Nada is the best sake-producing region in Japan. Breweries are located in five districts of Imazu-go, Nishinomiya-go, Uozaki-go, Mikage-go, and Nishi-go along the coastal line between Osaka and Kobe.
In the Edo period sake of Nada was produced by the underground water from the Rokko mountain range called 'Miyamizu.' It used the most suitable rice for making sake in the Banshu Plain, by prominent brewers of sake called 'Tamba Touji.'
Sake of Nada is traditional sake and is also called 'Otoko(male) sake.' It is very popular all over the country. Today many breweries continue to produce this tasteful sake with their own traditional skills. NIHONSAKARI is located in Nishinomiya-go.
Renowned 'Miyamizu' water that springs in Nishinomiya
Miyamizu' water flows from the mountainous region of Rokko. This hard water contains much phosphoric acid chloride and potassium with the hardness of 9 to 11° dH(German Hardness) which agrees with making sake.
It contains hardly any iron - one of the worst enemies to sake-making. It is the best water for making sake. Rich minerals contained in 'Miyamizu' water feed microbes that ferment.
'Miyamizu' water makes clear and powerful sake.
