Mineral-rich water brings out the unique characteristics of yeast

Mino City is also known as the town of washi paper. Kosaka Sake Brewery has been brewing sake since 1772 in this traditional townscape, where you can see udatsu fireproof walls built on both ends of the roof during the Edo period. The main building, built in the Uken style, has been designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan and retains stunning architectural beauty as a representative private home in this precious townscape. Many buildings and tools built during the Edo period remain in the brewery, and most of them are still in use.

Brewed with great care and respect for traditional methods, "Hyakuharu" was named with the hope that sake brewers will be able to enjoy their one hundredth spring in good health while also enjoying the taste of their sake. The raw water used is the underground water from the Nagara River, which is essential for making this smooth, light, delicious sake. It is rich in organic minerals, and is so distinctive that it can be clearly distinguished from water from other regions. These minerals help the koji mold and yeast fungi grow, bringing out the aroma and flavor of the yeast.

The brewery is also actively involved in local initiatives, such as brewing pure rice sake using "Minonishiki," a specialty of Seki City that is grown without pesticides by supporters.
