Saijo Uchinuki Water
Rather than turning on a tap, groundwater naturally wells up all over the town—Saijo City is such a 'City of Water.' These natural artesian wells are called 'Uchinuki' and are scattered throughout the city. The name 'Uchinuki' comes from the traditional method of driving iron rods into the ground to extract water from underground layers, a technique passed down since the mid-Edo period. Sourced from the underground waters of the Ishizuchi mountain range, the water temperature remains stable throughout the seasons. In 1985, it was selected as one of Japan's top 100 famous waters by the Ministry of the Environment and has been highly acclaimed in national water-tasting competitions. When scooped up by hand and drunk, it offers a mellow and clear taste. This pure water supports the sake and food culture of Saijo. Please enjoy a glass of this natural blessing in our town of famous waters.
