Fukui
Iklim
Fukui in the Hokuriku region receives heavy Sea of Japan snowfall that accumulates meters deep each winter, providing natural cold storage for sake maturation and abundant snowmelt in spring. The mountainous Oku-Echizen area delivers soft, ultra-pure water filtered through ancient granite. This climatic combination — severe cold, heavy precipitation, and exceptional water quality — has nurtured Fukui's pioneering premium ginjo and aged sake (koshu) traditions.
