Hakurei Shuzo Hakurei Sake

A Smooth, Dry Sake Made with Ultra-Soft Water, Perfect for Seafood

Hakurei Shuzo is a historic sake brewery that began producing sake in 1832 (the third year of the Tenpo era), after receiving permission from the local feudal lord to use rice collected as land tax for brewing.

The brewery contracts local farmers certified as Eco-Farmers to grow sake rice using reduced amounts of agricultural chemicals and chemical fertilizers. For brewing, it uses Fudō Sansui, exceptionally soft spring water collected from Fudō Falls on the slopes of Mount Yuragatake.

A Local Favorite with a Clean, Dry Finish

Hakurei, the brewery’s signature brand, is a mild, smooth sake with a clean, refreshing dry finish. It can be enjoyed either chilled or warmed, making it a versatile choice for different seasons and occasions.

Its compatibility with seafood is particularly noteworthy. The sake is popular at prestigious traditional inns in Miyazu and Maizuru, where it pairs beautifully with the fresh seafood for which the Tango region is known.
