Commitment to sake
"Choose rice and scrutinize the water."
Water and rice are extremely important main ingredients of sake. For rice, we use rice called sake rice made for sake. Suitable rice for sake brewing includes Yamada Nishiki, Omachi rice, etc. Many of these varieties have a choice of climate and climate, and the production area and production volume are limited, but these are suitable with the cooperation of local farmers. Rice is used at our brewery.
As it is said that there is famous sake in places of famous water, delicious sake cannot be made without good quality water. It is no exaggeration to say that the taste of sake depends on the quality of the water. Hayashi Sake Brewery has a well that draws underground water from Mt. Hiko. The condition of famous water suitable for sake brewing is water that helps the action of aspergillus and yeast. It is generally said that hard water makes dry and sharp sake (male sake), and soft water makes sweet and mild sake (female sake). Ensuring good quality water is an important condition for sake brewing. The water of Hayashi Sake Brewery is hard water. The best water for sake brewing constantly springs from the well.
