Rikyu no Mizu (Water of the Detached Palace)

The 'Rikyu no Mizu' that springs in Shimamoto Town is the only water in Osaka Prefecture to be selected for the Ministry of the Environment's '100 Best Waterscapes' in 1985. It is said that Sen no Rikyu, a master of the tea ceremony, also loved this spring water which flows within the precincts of Minase Shrine. This rich vein of water is still carefully utilized today as brewing water for whisky at the nearby Suntory Yamazaki Distillery, where the founding site was chosen specifically in search of high-quality water. Upon taking a sip, a clear and pure freshness spreads through the mouth. It is easy to understand why people constantly visit with PET bottles and containers to collect this spring water. It is a mellow and gentle cup, nurtured by the land over an unimaginably long period of time.
