Nadame

Nadame (灘目) refers to part of Hyogo Prefecture, a renowned sake-producing region of Japan, and is one of the areas of particular importance to sake brewing. The area has long been blessed with high-quality rice and pure water, and it is home to many sake breweries that have been in operation since the Edo period. Nadame is also known as the "Nadame Sango," made up of Kami Nadame-go, Shimo Nadame-go (下灘目郷), and Imazu-go (今津郷), and it was widely praised under that name during the Meiwa era (1764–1772). Nadame sake is characterized by a dry, robust flavor and is loved by many people. The region's distinctive climate and topography have a significant influence on the flavor of its sake.
