Fukuoka wine rice, Yamada Nishiki and Mengyi
Fukuoka Prefecture has been promoting rice cultivation since ancient times. Since the Edo and Meiji periods, it has been one of the most famous sake production areas in Japan. Especially in the area of the Chuoshima in the Tsukigo region, it has rice grown on the Tsukigo plain and the rich natural waters of the Tsukigo River. The winemaking industry has been popular since the Edo period of , about 320 years ago.
Because of this strong and powerful background, Chairman of the Fukuoka Sake Brewing Association and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the "&SAKE FUKUOKA" once said: "The wine that Makuoka Pai Shi Sakamoto Ryuma drank during the Nagasaki Uprising was the wine brewed by Fukuoka, so it can be said that the dawn of Japan began with the sake of Fukuoka."
In addition to being a famous production area for sake, Fukuoka Prefecture is also the main production area of Japanese wine rice. In recent years, it has been a trend to use brands of rice such as "Yamada Nishiki" and "Mengyixian" produced in Fukuoka Prefecture to make wine.
As the most rated wine-made good rice in Japan, Yamada Kinabalu has planted acreage, second only to Hyogo Prefecture , ranking second. However, as the consumption of beer and soju has increased, the degree and price of sake in alcoholic beverages are relatively high, resulting in the gradual decrease in sales. In the production cost of
, excluding labor costs, the cost of raw rice accounts for about 70%-80% of the total cost. Therefore, each sake brewery also hopes to have high cost-effective wine rice that is very suitable for brewing.
Based on this situation, Fukuoka Prefecture has cultivated a wine rice that is specially suitable for brewing - Meng Yixian.
Meng Yixian started to be cultivated in August 1993, and it was hybridized with two rice No. 160 and Zhuzi No. 6. After ten years of repeated trials, it was finally officially recognized by the state in October 2003 and invested in extensive planting and mass production, providing high-quality raw materials for major wineries in Fukuoka Prefecture and becoming a representative of Fukuoka wine rice.
Kitaya winemaking
There are now 68 winemaking shops in Fukuoka Prefecture, and Kitaya is one of the most famous winemaking shops.
Kitaya winemaking is located in Hachino City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It was founded since the Edo Fumimasa period (1818~1830) and has a history of about 200 years. It is famous for producing high-quality sake and yakini .
winemaking is located near the "Zhu Zi Plain", the first rice production area in Kyushu, Yabe City. The scenery here is beautiful and provides the winery with Yabekawa Furuliu Water suitable for brewing wine. Kitaya was originally a rice merchant. In 2006, he also developed a rice for brewing suitable for local terroir with local farmers.
Good mountains and water and rice suitable for local growth make the wine produced by this wine good quality and first-class taste. At the IWC Wine Exhibition's sake category award, which is known for its strictness, Kitaya has won trophies for two consecutive years. It also won the gold medal and the first grand prize at the Japan National New Wine Appraisal Conference and the Fukuoka IRS Liquor Appraisal Conference.
Kitaya winemaking representative name is the Dayin Jitaya, which was once known as the "world's No. 1 sake".
This alcohol-selected "Yamada Jin" wine rice produced in Fukuoka Prefecture is ground to 35%, squeezed only with natural gravity, leaving less unnecessary impurities, leaving behind an elegant and gorgeous aroma and aftertaste. The fruity aroma is rich and strong, and the sweet aftertaste is slightly spicy, with clear layers but balanced and harmonious, exuding a dreamy beauty.
Kitaya is a winery that the Kinoshita family has been the master of generations. The first Kinoshita Shikishi gave up the position of family governor to his younger brother in the third year of Fumimasa in the late Edo period (1820), and began to brew wine with all his heart.
The current successor is Mr. Kotaro Kinshita. In addition to sake, the wine also produces advanced fermented condiments made with vacuum distillation led by authentic soju, plum wine , and salted pure rice brewing sake. The taste of
"mellow and refreshing" was once the brewing goal left by Kinshitaro's grandfather, but now it has finally been achieved by Kotaro's generation, which is also a touching story.
