[Visiting a sake brewery in Shiga ⑥] [Fujimoto Sake Brewery]/Koga

Shiga has a plain centered on Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, and the subsoil water from the surrounding mountains still serves as the brewing water for many sake breweries. We will focus on sake breweries with rich individuality and their passion for sake making. For the sixth installment, we visited the Fujimoto Sake Brewery in Mizuguchi, Koka City, which produces "amazing" sake made with water guided by the gods.
