Akitabare

Akita

The brewery takes pride in its traditional methods. Much of the work is done by hand in small lots, and some of the equipment has been in continuous use for nearly a century.

Dewazakura is one of the most innovative sake- makers in Japan, using new yeast strains and brewing techniques to craft distinctly original sakes. Often called “wine -drinkers’ sakes,” they do indeed possess fruity flavour notes reminiscent of certain white wines.

Graceful and charming, extending a demure welcome to the world of sake enjoyment. Regional rice strains, like “Kura no Hana,” lend themselves especially well to the brewery’ s delicately nuanced brewing style.

Koshi no Kanbai is Japan’s most famous and sought-after sake. Its “winter plum” label is familiar to enthusiasts everywhere, conjuring up the image of a sake so perfect that every single molecule seems immaculately in place.

Rich, expressive flavour, genteel clarity and balance—these are the characteristics of sakes from Sohomare, established by the Kono family in 1872. Unusually, Sohomare uses “Designation A” Yamadanishiki rice.

Tedorigawa Kokuryu Tamagawa SeitokuTedorigawa’ s sakes are big on flavour, but never heavy or dense. Clean, great-tasting and easy to drink, it’ s no wonder that Tedorigawa is a favourite with sake enthusiasts everywhere. The Birth of Sake movie, released in 2015, was recorded in this brewery.

Among the soft-water breweries of Japan Kokuryu is perhaps the most famous. Its water is drawn from the subterranean flow of of Kuzuryugawa (Nine-Headed Dragon River), famed since ancient times for its delicious taste.

In 2008, the owner recruited Philip Harper, the first and only non-Japanese toji in Japan, as the brewer’s new toji. Displaying a broad grasp of the sake-brewers art, he introduced earthy wild-yeast brews with bold flavours.

Seitoku’ s virtuoso brewmaster, Yoshihiko Nishioka, trained under Chieko Kumagai at the National Research Institute of Brewing. His precise, understated style has elevated Seitoku to prominence both in Japan and abroad.

KamoizumiNo brewery in Japan has taken a stronger stand for individuality than Kamoizumi. Their sake has an attitude: robust, tawny, full-flavoured, yet with the smooth finish and easy drinkability that are the hallmarks of technical mastery.

Masumi/Miyasaka

Nagano

Full-bodied, f lavourful and well-rounded sakes. Association No. 7, an aromatic new yeast strain discovered by Masumi’s brewmaster in 1946, is used by over half of the breweries in Japan.
