First-class sake - Ikkyushu

...A type of sake unique to Japan, brewed primarily from rice, rice malt, and water. Since the Meiji period, when various imported alcoholic beverages began to be produced domestically, it has generally come to be called Japanese sake.
[history]

Since ancient times, three shrines have been worshipped as gods of sake brewing: Omiwa Shrine in Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture, and Umenomiya Taisha and Matsuo Taisha in Kyoto City.
