Itami sake - Itami sake

Japanese: 伊丹酒 - いたみざけ

<br /> Sake made in the area around Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture. In the early Edo period, Yamanaka Shinroku Yukimoto of Konoike Village, Settsu Province (now Konoike, Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture) is said to have established the method of making Morohaku by using ash to clarify the sake, and was the first to successfully carry out the "Edo-tsumi" method of shipping sake from Kamigata to Edo. As a result, Itami sake became famous as a representative high-grade sake in the mid-Edo period. ◇Itami Morohaku is also called "Itami Morohaku".

兵庫県伊丹市周辺でつくられる日本酒。江戸初期に摂津国鴻池村（現兵庫県伊丹市鴻池）の山中新六幸元が灰を用いて清澄する工夫を取り入れて諸白の製法を確立し、上方から江戸に荷を送り出す「江戸積み」を清酒で初めて成功させたと伝えられる。伊丹酒はこれにより、江戸中期にかけて代表的な上級酒として名をはせた。◇「伊丹諸白」ともいう。
