The reputation of Shizuoka's local sake being delicious has become nationwide over the past 12-13 years. In the 1986 National Sake Appraisal, Shizuoka's local sake won multiple gold awards simultaneously, attracting attention, although it was not famous until then. Even now, Shizuoka Prefecture's sake production volume accounts for less than 1% of the national total production volume. The secret behind this sake-producing prefecture emerging on the central stage is said to lie in the abundant and high-quality water and the 'Shizuoka yeast' developed by Denbei Kawamura, the chief researcher at the Shizuoka Prefecture Industrial Technology Center. Please enjoy the pleasant aroma and refreshing smoothness characteristic of sake made with Shizuoka yeast.
