Yes, the quality of the water is extremely important. The mineral content of the water affects sake taste. Semi-hard water is most suitable for sake brewing due to its lower iron and manganese content. Many of the sake breweries are located in areas know for their high quality water such as Fushimi, Nada in Japan and North California.
