“Softened Water” (Yawaragi-mizu in Japanese) is a body-friendly way when you drink sake! If you drink water in the interval of drinking sake, the speed of getting drunk becomes slow since the concentration of alcohol in the body becomes low. Please remember the style of drinking “Softened Water” when you drink sake, same as “Chaser” in the case of Western alcohol beverage! Please enjoy Akita’s sake leisurely while drinking water in between.

Takashimizu bottling factory was established in 1970 and more than 40 years have passed since then; however, the bottling line was retooled in 2008. Even though the building itself is old, we always deliver delicious Takashimizu to our customers through the equipment of factory renewed in order to be more safe and trusted. Please check this movie which explains “how to bottle sake in Takashimizu”! (In Japanese)
