Tanzawasan Rinho Bizen Omachi Yamahai Junmai 720ML

Kawanishiya Sake Brewery (Kanagawa)
Founded in 1897, Kawanishiya Shuzō has been brewing sake for over a century in Yamakita, Kanagawa Prefecture. Nestled at the foot of the Tanzawa mountains, the area is blessed with abundant pure spring water and a cool climate—ideal conditions for sake brewing.

The brewery is renowned for its skillful use of the Yamahai brewing method, which produces sake with depth, complexity, and a rich acidity that pairs beautifully with food. Kawanishiya emphasizes careful rice selection, including regional sake rice, to bring out flavors that reflect both tradition and terroir.

Kanagawa itself is not one of Japan’s major sake-producing regions, but its unique geography—mountains, forests, and rivers close to the sea—gives its sake a distinctive character, often marked by freshness, minerality, and balance. Kawanishiya’s dedication to quality and sense of place has made it a respected name among sake enthusiasts seeking authenticity and craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes
A three-dimensional flavor profile where the acidity characteristic of the Yamahai method blends with the creamy qualities of Omachi rice. It pairs not only with Japanese cuisine but also with dishes that use white sauces.
