Sake of 100 years
Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture is located at the foot of Mount Ibuki in the northernmost part of the Nobi
Plain.
Watanabe Shuzo Brewery was established here in 1902.
In order to continue to be loved by
the local people even now, more than 100 years after our founding, we are committed to pursuing flavors
that can only be produced here and in this brewery.

Since the time of the founder, Kakujiro Watanabe, the brewery has been making sake with sincerity for
generations.
The fourth-generation master brewer, Aisako Watanabe is pursuing a style of sake that
only she can make and that will be enjoyed by those who drink it while inheriting the skills of her
predecessor.
City of Water OGAKI
It is said that "where there is great water, there is great sake”. That's how essential for sake water
is.
Ogaki has long been called the "City of Water, Ogaki" because of the abundance of spring water
and many clear streams flowing through the city, and Watanabe Brewery uses this spring water. In recent
years, we have also been using "Koga no Mori Water," natural water from Mt. Koga on the Okunagara River,
to make new types of sake.

Seiryunokuni
Ayu (sweetfish) is synonymous with the taste of Gifu, the land of clear streams. To make a sake that goes well with this fish, we brewed it with Koga no Mori Water, a famous water from the Okunagara River. This Daiginjo has a clear taste with the original flavor of rice. The light aroma and flavor of the sake, which goes well with the white meat of sweetfish, also known as aromatic fish, enhances the richness of the bittersweet wata.Serve it chilled or lukewarm.
