Omi Local Sake
In Shiga Prefecture, breweries are scattered around the perimeter of Lake Biwa, with about thirty producers listed in the brewing association. Using pure underground water from Mount Ibuki, the Suzuka Mountains, and the Hira Mountains, along with unique Omi sake rice varieties such as Nihonbare, Gyoei, and Ginpuyuki, each region has brewed sakes with its own distinct character. A characteristic feature of Omi sake is that the breweries are not concentrated in one area but are spread throughout the prefecture. In 2015, an ordinance was enacted to encourage toasts with Omi local sake, with the entire region working together to revitalize the local sake culture. All of them pair excellently with Japanese cuisine. Please try to find your favorite cup while leisurely traveling around this lakeside region.
