Wataya(綿屋) is a sake brand crafted by Kanenoi Shuzo Co.,Ldt in Miyagi, Japan. Explore their full lineup of 11 sakes on OneSip.

Wataya is produced by Kanenoi Shuzo, founded in 1915 in Miyagi Prefecture, where the brand was relaunched in 1996 under guidance from a Nanbu Toji master brewer. Brewed with water from the Kozo Fudo Falls spring and rice contracted from farmers across Japan — with a growing focus on locally grown varieties — Wataya is crafted explicitly as a food-pairing sake, described by the brewery as one with slightly high acidity and sweetness derived from rice that harmonizes naturally with dashi-based cuisine.
