As a birthday celebration sake (2)
Alcohol content 17%.
Mr. Tatsuei Shimohara, Kotani-ryu Toji
Tazue Shimohara, the legendary head brewer of Daishinshu Sake Brewery, brewed sake until 2008 (he was the oldest active head brewer at that time, at 91 years old).
He started brewing sake at the age of 16 and has been an active brewer for 75 years. Mr. Shimohara always said that there are two kinds of work for a toji. One is, of course, to brew good sake. The other is to watch over each brewer and build a good relationship with them. If there are corners in the relationship between the brewers, there will be corners in the sake. Sake made by brewers who are in harmony with each other will be a mild sake. I want sake that is mild and mild. This is the sake that we have aimed for under the phrase "harmony is the key to success," and the way our brewers should be.
Today, "harmony is the key to success" is the cornerstone of our sake brewing. Our brewers are united in their efforts to make good sake, and by working together with sincerity, we aim to create a harmonious "Ma-rui Sake".
