Taketsuru Sake Brewery - Ozasaya Taketsuru Kimoto Junmai Daiginjo Genshu

This is "Ozasaya Taketsuru Kimoto Junmai Daiginjo Genshu" from Taketsuru Sake Brewery, a sake brewery founded in 1733 in Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, originally a salt manufacturing company. The Edo-period store name "Ozasaya" represents the company's history, and this sake is a signature product from a series that symbolizes Taketsuru Sake Brewery's sake brewing. This pure rice sake is bottled undiluted. The clarity of Daiginjo is complemented by the complexity of wooden barrel brewing, resulting in a deep flavor unique to the Kimoto brewing method. This is a sake unique to the modern era that could not have been achieved in the Edo period when the Kimoto brewing technique was established. We recommend enjoying it warm to bring out its characteristics. Takehara, a port town rich in nature facing the Seto Inland Sea, flourished as a salt-producing town during the Edo period, and continued to develop as a port of call for the Kitamaebune ships that sailed westward between Osaka and Hokkaido. Taketsuru Distillery is also the birthplace of Taketsuru Masataka, the founder of Nikka Whisky, whose distillery is located in Yoichi, west of Otaru, Hokkaido. Enjoy the "climate and history" of the Seto Inland Sea and Takehara that lie behind the flavor of this whiskey.

Taketsuru Sake Brewery is located in Takehara City, a town facing the Seto Inland Sea in the center of Hiroshima Prefecture that flourished during the Edo period as a salt-producing region. Our goal in making sake is to "make food delicious" as a drink to accompany meals. When food and sake meet, the flavor is multiplied many times over. Our aim in making sake like this is deeply connected to the climate and history of Takehara. We have walked alongside this town for around 400 years, since before salt production began in Takehara. There is a type of sake that can only be brewed by Taketsuru Sake Brewery, which has long been rooted in the climate and history of Takehara.
