Producer: 澤の花 sawa no hana
The brewery was founded in 1901 in Saku (Shinshu, Nagano Prefecture). Shinshu is a region characterized by many green forests in summer and freezing cold winters with lots of snow. "Sawa no hana" refers to the beautiful flowers that bloom along the crystal clear rivers in Saku, this is the reason why this brewery chose the iris flower as its symbol. The brewery brews its sake in winter from carefully selected local sake rice, namely Hitogokochi and Miyama Nishiki, and the Chikuma River groundwater from Yatsugatake. The young master brewer brews with the aim of creating a local sake with a nice taste that will put a smile on everyone's face.
