[Types and characteristics of rice]

“Niji no Kirameki” is a new variety developed by the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, a national research institute, in 2018.

It is a rare rice that sells out quickly because there are few farmers who produce it. It has the same deliciousness as Koshihikari which is famous for delicious rice.

Ikeda Farm, the producer, has been committed to pesticide-free rice cultivation for over 15 years.

Ikeda Farm does not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers during the cultivation period. They are professionals of “delicious and safe” rice.

[Brewery: Sagara Sake Brewing Co., Ltd.]

Founded in 1831. Located in the northern part of the Kanto Plain, where you can see the Ashio Mountains and Nikko Mountains to the north, and where the hills such as Mt. Miyagi, Mt. Iwafune, and Mt. Taihei begin.

Using this water that the first generation Yohei fell in love with as the brewing water, they have been devoted to sake brewing since their founding, with the words “Wajo Ryoshu” (good sake brewed in harmony) in their hearts. They are a popular old sake brewery in the local area.

Best water for Sake

The brewery is surrounded by nature such as green mountains and farmland, and the spring water that gushes out from the Nikko Mountains on the premises has a soft mouthfeel that is so sweet that you can feel it (hardness 33mg/l).
