The Matsue Sake Brewery and farmers in the Ryuou region who grow sake rice have been cultivating Yamadanishiki for around 30 years. Ryuou is a basin surrounded by mountains running east to west, but its rice fields can be found in a number of different environments: on level ground, in the foothills of the mountains, on the banks of the river. It also has a number of different soil types: clay, silt, sand and gravel, and mixed soils. The characteristics seen in the quality of the rice come from where the soil is between these two extremes.
We try to express the many and varied soil types in Ryuou, its landscape, the atmosphere of its villages, and the qualities of everyone involved in growing the rice through Matsunotsukasa Junmai Daiginjo Ryuou Yamada Nishiki (Brewerd by Soil Type) itself.
