TARUHEI SHUZO
Brewery: Taruhei Brewery
Founded: ~1965
Visiting Taruhei brewery is like stepping into a different era. They preserve the traditional sake making processes and use exclusively wooden tools whilst brewing. They strongly believe sake should be only made with rice, and therefore only produce Junmai Sake.
The ultimate aim is to produce sake you will not get tired of, but which also has originality and personality.

Tasting Notes
Special local rice "Sasanishiki" is used to brew this Sake. They release it without performing charcoal filtration (roka), resulting in a tasteful amber hue, and it is well-loved by serious sake fans. Very dry, and aged in Cedar Barrels. "This is how true sake should taste".
