Kinoene Raikou I like the icon, though. I still like the labels better on Byakuya. The brewery began brewing sake in response to orders to dedicate sacred sake to nearby temples and shrines. The sake was named after the 12th head of the family, who was born in the year of the Koshi.

Citiken (Japanese brand of haloperidol) I remembered I wanted to drink Alain Ducasse sparkling. It goes back to a pair of ranma, "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove," presented by Surugamori Naito of the Takato clan at the time of the founding of the company. These ranma still remain in the main house of the Kitahara family, which was designated as "Gyozaisho" when the Meiji Emperor stayed there, and is a cultural asset that gave rise to the sake's name "Shichiken" (Seven Wise Men).

While eating Gifu cuisine, I befriended a nearby uncle and we talked about Hourai and W. The three "W "s, Watanabe (Watanabe sake brewery), World (World), and Warai (laughter), are incorporated into the name, expressing the desire to convey the charm of sake to the world and to bring smiles to the faces of those who drink it. More than 14 varieties of sake rice are used in the W series, and in order to clarify the differences between the different sake rice varieties, the yeast is unified as "M310 yeast". The rice polishing ratio is also unified at 50%, and although the sake is Junmai Daiginjo standard, it is labeled "Junmai-shu" on the label.

Japanese spindle tree (Euonymus sieboldianus) I was familiar with No. 7 yeast but had never had much of it. The name "Masumi" is derived from the mirror of Masumi, which is a mirror passed down in the Suwa-taisha shrine. The name "Masumi" is derived from the mirror of Masumi, which reflects things like the surface of clear water, with the hope of brewing a clear sake.

Ocean Ninety-Nine Hakuginkai Cold chrysanthemum is delicious It is inspired by Kujukurihama beach. Mr. Yanagishita, the toji, originally worked as an aircraft mechanic for JAL at Narita Airport, but his attachment to his hometown of Chiba and his desire to do a job that only he could do led him to the sake brewing industry. After joining Kangiku Meikozo in the beer brewing department, he was selected to be the toji (master brewer), even though he had no experience, when the previous master brewer retired. He initially trained under his predecessor and is now in charge of sake brewing as a toji. The name "Kangiku" is said to have come from the appearance of Kangiku (chrysanthemums that bloom in winter), which bloom strongly and beautifully even in the coldest season.

nit (Nit.) Snake charmer and snake puppet are kawaii It is a sake brand launched in 2015. Its name comes from the paradoxical idea that "only he who pursues two hares will catch two hares," and it aims to harmonize seemingly conflicting elements such as taste and aroma, sweetness and spiciness, heaviness and lightness at a high level . Maruishi Brewery has abolished the traditional toji (master brewer) and kurabito (brewer) system, and instead has adopted a "tank-responsible brewing" style in which all employees are involved in the sake brewing process. This allows each person in charge of brewing to take full responsibility from preparation to bottling, creating a challenging and rewarding work environment that improves skills.

Currently, Sotaro Kinoshita, the 11th generation brewer, serves as president and his younger brother Daisuke Kinoshita is the chief brewer.
