Takashima offers the perfect set of conditions for sake brewing: an outstanding natural environment with a plentiful supply of mellow spring water; high-quality sake rice grown with spring water; and a cold climate. There are five sake breweries in the city, each with its own distinctive and cultured flavor.
Kawashima Sake Brewery, located in the Shimofuri area where spring water is abundant, boasts a long and proud history, having been founded in 1865. The opulent taste of Matsunohana, the flagship sake of Kawashima Sake Brewery, is a product of the energy of nature captured in the enchanting seasonal changes and the pure underflow water sourced from the valley of Hira.
