Omi’s local liquors
With great water and optimal rice,
Omi itself is like a brewery of
premium liquors.
Lake Biwa occupies one sixth of the area in the land of Omi, a basin surrounded by mountains of Suzuka and Ibuki in the east; and Hira and Hiei in the west.
It has been a land of grains since the ancient time, producing a lot of local liquors because of the abundant spring water in the mountain areas.
What about delighting your meal with a bottle of liquor recommended by our okami (landlady)?
