The city of Aizu Wakayama where this sake is produced has very drastic weather patterns, creating distinctive seasonal changes. The harsh weather changes allow the farmers to grow high quality rice. Rice requires heavy rainfall, cool winters and hot humid summers, marked by increased temperature shift from day to night. In winter, consistent snowfall cleans the atmosphere and brings stabilizing low temperatures to furnish a good sake brewing environment. While having very clean well water, they are able to make good sake out of amazing local rice which includes Hattanishiki Rice used for their Daiginjo and Junmai Daiginjo.
