Regional characteristics

Nishiyama Shuzo
The brewery is located in the area called Okutamba, which is close to the border between Tamba City and Kyoto Prefecture. This area is surrounded by the Tamba mountain range, and ideal for sake making thanks to the pure soft water from the land and the severe coldness of winter. During fall and winter, morning mist covers the surrounding mountains, creating mystical scenery. Okutamba was a gateway destination to Kyoto and Osaka, and people used to provide vegetables and food from the mountains to cities. Tamba black beans and Tamba chestnuts, which were used as gifts for aristocrats, are still particularly well known as specialty products of this area.
