Trivia about sake from the Kansai region

"Men's sake" from Nada,
"women's sake" from Fushimi
hard water,soft water

Nada (in Hyogo Prefecture) and Fushimi (in Kyoto Prefecture),
both located in the Kansai region, are famous as two of the
three great sake-producing areas of Japan. Based on the
characteristics of the sake they produce, which result from the
mineral content of water used and other aspects of the
sake-brewing process, sake from Fushimi traditionally has been
known as "onnazake" (women's sake), while sake from Nada has
been known as "otokozake" (men's sake).

Known as fushimizu, sake from Fushimi (in Kyoto
Prefecture) is made with medium-hard water, which
has comparatively low mineral content.
As a result of the gradual fermentation process, any
hint of roughness is removed, yielding a smooth,
fine-textured, low-acid sake.
This type of sake was refined to suit Kyoto-style
cuisine, which derived from the style cuisine served at
court.

Known as miyamizu, sake from Nada (in Hyogo
Prefecture) is brewed using hard water with high
mineral content.
Those minerals provide nutrients for the malted rice
(koji) and yeast during the brewing process, resulting
in shorter fermentation period and yielding
refreshingly dry sake characterized by full body
and crisp mouthfeel.
The type developed as "sake to send to Edo" since it
suited the taste of that city's residents.
