bouken
This brewery is an affiliate of Hakutsuru, and most of the sake they make is sent out to Hakutsuru by tanker truck. There is a local sake called Sakura Ichimonji, but this is the first new brand in 63 years. It's a refreshing dry sake with a gentle taste that makes you want to drink it with a wine glass. The moment you put it in your mouth, it has an atmosphere like a lactic acid bacteria drink.
If you look up the manufacturer's code, you'll find Hakutsuru Shuzo, so the bottling must be done at Hakutsuru. Sakura Ichimonji seems to be bottled at Hommaru Shuzo in Sasayama. I guess they don't have their own bottling facilities because they basically wholesale the original sake to Hakutsuru.
