Located in central part of Akita prefecture, Town of Rokugo
is known for countless numbers of excellent water sources
in the region. Its nickname, "Town of 100 water sources",
is therefore self-explanatory.
The region is home of outstanding Sake brands which are brewed
by richly using the local pure spring water. "Niteko"
cider soft drink is another product benefited from the water
of good quality in Niteko, which is known as "Imperial
water" for it was served for Japanese Emperor in Meiji
era. "Somen" noodle is another famous local product
made by using the natural gift of these fine waters.

water of Odaidokoro", "Spring water of Zato",
and "Spring water of wisteria". The town is highly
