Hoshuku

Hoshuku is produced by Narato Toyosawa Shuzo, founded in 1868 in Nara City, Nara Prefecture, the ancient capital where sake brewing in Japan is said to have originated. The brewery dedicates more than 80% of its production to tokutei meishoshu (premium designated sake), reflecting a philosophy of high quality sake delivered to as many people as possible through rigorous hand-crafting at every stage. Hoshuku's toji was recognized as a Contemporary Master Craftsman (Gendai no Meiko) by the Japanese government, and the brand has earned a cumulative 16 gold medals at the National New Sake Competition.
