Jinling

Japanese: 金陵 - きんりょう

Sake from Kagawa. The name of the sake comes from the Edo period Confucian scholar Rai Sanyo, who called Kotohira Kinrei (Jinling) when he visited the area, as he felt that there were things in the area that reminded him of the ancient Chinese capital of Jinling. They offer a range of sake from daiginjo to regular sake. They have won many awards at the National New Sake Tasting Competition. The rice used is Yamada Nishiki and other varieties. For brewing water, Tadotsu uses "Yahata no Onyu" water, while Kotohira uses "Showa Ido" spring water from Mt. Zozu. The brewery, Nishino Kinrei, was founded in 1789. They are located in Kotohira-cho, Nakatado-gun.
