Tamasakae

A new brewery founded by the famous master brewer Hidehiko Matsumoto, originally hailing from Sawaya Matsumoto. Nichi Nichi Jozo's products express the locality of Kyoto with its soft round texture and somehow calm, relaxed feeling. Fushimi District, where the brewery is located is famous for its excellent soft water source. The water quality influences the texture of sake brewed in the area. Fushimi sake is often called as "onnazake", meaning "female sake", discribing the round smooth texture the local sake tend to have, opposing to "otokozake", translated into "male sake", from Nada district of Hyogo.
