"Ine no Mori" is an extremely rare local sake brewed by Asakawa Shuzo, located in Kami-oga, Hitachiomiya City. The brand name was chosen to pay respect to the beautiful rural landscape of Ibaraki, where golden ears of rice ripen abundantly.
The brewery is an extremely small family-run operation, and it is known as a "phantom sake" that is only found in limited local liquor stores, with no direct sales or distribution in general retail stores.
It features a simple, handmade taste closely connected to the lives of local people, far removed from mass production. Rooted in the local food culture and spoken of only by word of mouth, it is truly a hidden treasure of Ibaraki known only to those in the know.
