I found this warehouse by chance in Kurayoshi Shirakabe Dozo group, which appeared on google map during a trip to San-in area. I had never heard of this brewery.
It is a junmai ginjo, a local sake with a ginjo aroma but a mild taste that is easy to drink. The "General" is said to refer to General Heihachiro Togo. The name was changed in 1907 when Emperor Taisho (Crown Prince at the time) and General Togo made their first visit to the San-in region. The visit of the first imperial family and heroes of the Russo-Japanese War must have had a considerable impact on the San'in region, as it led to the opening of an electric telephone and railroad line, an infrastructure development (had it not been opened before?). It is the same in all places in all ages that infrastructure is established at the time of a major event.
