Wataya

This is a local sake from Kurihara, born from the pursuit of 'shokuchushu' (sake for dining) that gently complements food. Kanai Shuzo was founded in 1915 (Taisho 4). In 1996, when the fourth-generation owner, Mr. Miura, took over the brewery, he launched the new brand 'Wataya' and significantly shifted the focus toward making sake that enhances meals. The brewing water is 'Kozozan-sui,' drawn from a mountain located about 3 kilometers from the brewery. This mineral-rich water produces a soft texture in the sake. Its specialty is a clean taste where the umami of the rice is balanced with slightly higher acidity and sweetness. Brewed with dishes rich in dashi (broth) in mind, this sake is quietly but steadily supported by sake lovers across the country.
