Regional characteristic
- The sake is made with soft water with few minerals.
Niigata, which boasts one of the highest snowfalls in Japan, has soft water with few minerals.
By brewing sake with soft water free of off-flavors, the result is a refreshing and clean taste.
This soft water is also a key factor in making sake of the light and dry variety. - Niigata Prefecture is the home of the largest group of chief brewers.
At sake breweries, the people who make the sake are called brewers, "sake men," or the "young men." Presiding over their work is the chief or master brewer. Niigata Prefecture is where the largest professional group of these master brewers can be found.
The Echigo Toji, as they are called, are considered one of the pinnacles of sake brewing, and they continue to refine the art while respecting traditions.
