Kizakura Brewery is located in Fushimi in the southern part of Kyoto, the oldest sake brewing area in Japan . The local “Fushi-Mizu” or crystal clear, underground “Fushimi Water” is well known for bringing out the full flavor of sake. And Kyoto’s especially frigid winters, called “So-ko-bi-e”, are ideal for creating stable, cold temperatures inside the brewery that help keep fermentation temperatures low and extend fermentation time so that delicate flavors and aromas remain in the sake.
