A local would say...
Twenty-one generations of sake-making, using spring water filtered through the volcanic rock of Mt Fuji.
Using spring waters from Mt Fuji, this small-scale sake brewery has been producing Japan's favourite tipple for 21 generations. The 40-minute tours offer a fascinating insight into the production process and end with tastings of various sakes and a souvenir glass. Book ahead for the English-language tour and you'll come away understanding why water source matters so much to sake, and why Fuji's snowmelt is prized by brewers.
