Water of Life

The “Peach Tree Well” is a famous well in Kyoto that has played a role in the cultural development of the community. Located in the garden of the Horino Museum, it now provides the water that makes delicious machiya beer. Born on the foundations of traditional sake brewing, machiya beer would never have been created were it not for this “water of life” that produced the crisp flavor that characterizes the many famous types of sake produced by Kinshi Masamune.
