Sharaku
MIYAIZUMI
In Aizu, there is a famous sake brewing family that has been in business for 400 years, from which the Miyaisumi and Higashiyama families split off.
When the Higashiyama brewery, which made Sharaku (classic Sharaku), went out of business, Yoshihiro Miyamori, the current president of his relative Miyazumi Meizumi Brewery, took over the brand name "Collage" and created a completely new concept, which is now highly acclaimed.
The label of classic Sharaku was Ichikawa Ebizo by Toshusai Sharaku, but now it is only letters.
As a side note, I personally believe that the name "Sharaku" comes from the Japanese word "pun" (pun).
