About

【About the Yama no Kami Yeast】 In spring 2012 (Heisei 24), at the foot of Mount Miwa within the sacred precincts of Omiwa Shrine, an attempt to isolate yeast from sasayuri (Lilium japonicum) flowers succeeded. Subsequent research found that it is a yeast unique to Nara Prefecture and suited to sake brewing.
