Characteristics of the brewery

The Kurosawa brand sake brewery is "Kurosawa Sake Brewery Co., Ltd." (official website: https://kurosawa.biz　Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/9630sake/), located in Sakuho-machi Minamisaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture.

Located at the top of the Chikuma River in the foothills of the Northern Yatsugatake Mountains, the brewery takes advantage of the nature and water nurtured by one of the most prominent plateaus in the country, 800m above sea level, to produce flavorful sake.

The water used in brewing is underground water from the Chikuma River, and the raw rice is "Miyama Nishiki" from Nagano Prefecture and "Hitogokochi" from Minamisaku, and the brewery is committed to using local produce and even polishes the rice in-house.

Kurosawa Sake Brewery is particular about its traditional "Kimoto-zukuri" method, which is a labor-intensive method that takes twice as long as usual to cultivate yeast. This traditional method produces robust sake with a deep, rich flavor that has earned it high praise overseas.

In addition to its own brand of sake, "Kurosawa," the company also produces brands such as "Izutsucho" and "Maruto."

Reviews of Takachiyo Junmai Daiginjyo "Ipponjime"

”I think this is a straightforward and elegant sake that is right in the middle of the royal road. It has a deep flavor. We had a potluck party with a lot of good sake, but after this I couldn't drink any other sake.”(Woman/70s)

"It's so delicious! I had underestimated Takachiyo. The soft sweetness when you put it in your mouth and the slight bitterness when it goes down your throat are all to my liking. It's delicious when you take it out of the fridge."(Man/40s)
