    The Sho River delta, with its good drainage and winter snow cover in the area, protects the underground bulbs from disease and cold.

    Blessed with the clear streams of the Sho River and the Oyabe River, the plains in the Tonami area turn into water-filled rice paddies early in the season. The region has come to be known for its production of high-quality rice. Since this nearly basin-shaped triangle of land is covered in snow in winter and surrounded by mountains, it has a penetrating cold in winter, making it the perfect climate for making sake.
