That story was written in the book “Houryaku genraisyu(宝暦現来集)” which was written in the Edo period.
A signboard stands in the place where the story originated.

The bottle is kept by Tamae, the daughter of Uta Mitubori descended from the Mitubori family.
There lived a worker in Nishikubo carrying a load on a horse called Gorobei Mitubori.
When he was washing the horse’s body at Makadogawa river, Kappa bit into the rump of the horse.
Gorobei caught it and tied it to tree.
This kappa was a mother, who came to get the children’s food.
He was sorry and released it.
That night, it brought a sake bottle out of gratitude.
It was a bottle where sake comes out until he made a signal.
He liked sake, so drinking every day, and was not working.
Therefore, his horse got thin, his body weakened.
He negrected on looking at the horse.
He made sure that sake did not come out from the bottle.
And he worked hard ever after.
