The tips of this Ippon
This brewery was founded in 1804. They are located in Fukui Prefecture. It holds a lot of snowy mountains that pour finest water. So, the governor recommended Japanese Sake brewing as a main industry in old days. They are descended from the stream. They keep passing on the tradition, but they also tried to be an innovator. They tried and succeeded in producing Daiginjo-Shu as a commercial product. This Japanese Sake is “Nama Zake”, so it is usually released in spring. The white lees are like snow on mountain in spring. You can enjoy not only the taste but also the coming of spring.
