In the Matsukura district, located in the mountains in the northern part of Omagari, Daisen City, rice and vegetables have been grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers for over 50 years.

Dewatsuru Natural Rice Sake Matsukura is made by Dewatsuru Sake Brewery Co., Ltd., which has a contract with farmers in the Matsukura area and uses Akitakomachi, which is specially cultivated (no pesticides are used during the cultivation period), as its sake rice. It has a taste that makes you feel that it is made from.

In addition, the use of melted snow water from Dewa Hills, which flows through many layers of strata, is used for the brewing water, which gives the sake a soft taste and smooth, fine-grained quality.
