Kagawa
Climat
Kagawa, sheltered by the calm Seto Inland Sea, has Japan's mildest, driest climate — making it paradoxically challenging for traditional cold-weather sake brewing. The Sanuki mountains provide moderately soft water, and the maritime climate encourages moderate, food-friendly sake styles. Brewers must rely on temperature-controlled environments for most of the fermentation season, channeling the region's udon-pairing culture into approachable sakes with clean finish and medium body.
