概要
Wakayama Prefecture along the Kii Peninsula coast is better known for umeshu (plum wine) and soy sauce, but it maintains a small, dedicated sake brewing community. Clean water from the Kumano mountains and a mild climate produce soft, approachable sakes. Heiwa Shuzo's Kido label has earned acclaim for its modern, fruit-forward junmai ginjo expressions.
