KONDO SHUZO
Brewery: Kondo Shuzo Co., Ltd.
Founded: 1875
In Year 8 of the Meiji Era, Kondo Shuzo was established in the town of Omama in the Gunma Prefecture, and they have been brewing sake with Akagisan's (Akagi Mountain's) subterranean spring water ever since. The breweries slogan is "Otoko no Sake, Akagisan kara Kuchi" (aka. “a Sake among men - from Akagi mountain to your lips”) and they have strong local popularity in Gunma Prefecture, where their main fanbase resides. They are loved for their refreshingly crisp sake.
GUNMA
Their Misson of Sake
Crafted by Kondo Shuzo Co., Ltd.'s Nanbu Toji, Takeuchi, this exceptional Junmai Daiginjo reflects his philosophy of creating sake that nourishes both the body and the spirit. In his second year as the brewery's Toji, Takeuchi set out to produce a sake with perfect harmony—balancing flavor, aroma, crispness, acidity, and alcohol content.
Tasting Notes
Combining the pristine water of Akagi Mountain and the esteemed techniques of Iwate Nanbu Toji (aka. “a northern sake brewing guild"), this sake is a hand-crafted masterpiece. Aromatic, with notes of ripe fruits and flowers, this medium-bodied Daiginjo pairs well with vegetable crudité, shrimp shumai and/or gyoza.
