Shirakiku is the signature sake of Shirasugi Sake Brewery, a long-established brewery that has been producing local sake since 1776. Located in the Tango region of northern Kyoto Prefecture, the brewery is committed to using locally grown rice, sourced exclusively from contracted farmers in the area.
The brewing water is naturally occurring ultra-soft water that has continued to flow for more than 200 years without drying up. The combination of carefully selected rice and exceptionally soft water gives Shirakiku its gentle, smooth mouthfeel.
With its mellow character and easy-drinking finish, Shirakiku is regarded as one of the representative sake brands of Tango, reflecting the region’s distinctive ingredients and brewing traditions.
