Ever Try Sake? What About Sake Steamed Bun From Kyoto?
Japan is famous for sake in the world, but do you know there are three major sake-producing regions in Japan? Along with Nada in Kobe and Kurume in Fukuoka, Fushimi in Kyoto is also described as one of Japan’s three major sake-producing regions.
What is Sake?
Sake is an alcoholic drink made from Japanese rice and clear water. Often referred to as “nihonshu" (日本酒) in Japanese (to differentiate it from "sake" which in Japanese can also refer to alcohol in general), the drink enjoys widespread popularity and is served at all types of restaurants and drinking establishments. And as interest in Japanese cuisine has grown internationally, sake has started to become a trendy and recognizable drink around the world.
Fushimi, Kyoto – A Place of Water and Sake
Fushimi, a district of Kyoto, was called "Fushimizu" in the Edo period (1603-1867), and the name of the place was pronounced "Fushimi" (meaning "fushimi" in Japanese).
Fushimi is blessed with abundant underground water. The balance of elements such as potassium and calcium in the medium-hard water that is of the perfect quality and composition for making sake. This high-quality groundwater that gushes out of Fushimi has been used for brewing sake for years. Today there are numerous breweries crafting uniquely flavored sakes steeped in Kyoto culture for people to enjoy.
With its abundance of water sources and good-quality rice, adding the dedication, expertise and sheer hard work of the sake brewers, the result is the excellent sake that continues to be made in Fushimi to this day.
