Regional characteristic
- Shizuoka sake uses a yeast mash with a rich and fragrant aroma.
Shizuoka yeast is an indispensable element that makes up Shizuoka sake.
Apparently, local brewers brought together yeasts from sake breweries throughout the prefecture and researched them, with the goal of developing high-quality yeasts unique to the area.
As a result, Shizuoka yeast, which offers refreshing fruity flavors like green apple and banana, was created.
The development of this Shizuoka-style yeast fostered an active culture of high-quality ginjo-shu brewing in Shizuoka. - Shizuoka sake is also characterized by many brands with unique flavors and bouquets.
It is an important place where sake artisans gather from all over the country. They go there because of the growing technological developments in Shizuoka, such as experiments in yeast and ginjo production.
On the other hand, compared to other prefectures that are sake stalwarts, it is somewhat lacking in terms of history, production volume, and consumption volume.
Yet it is precisely because of its low recognition as a household name that Shizuoka was able to specialize in the production of unique brands that employ specialized techniques.
