Rashomon is the signature brand of Tabata Shuzo, a Wakayama brewery established in 1851 that brews with underground spring water drawn from the Kino River basin using traditional cold-season brewing under the motto drip-by-drip in heart. The brand was launched in 1976 inspired by Akira Kurosawa's internationally acclaimed film, with the stated ambition of producing sake worthy of global recognition. Rashomon Ryuuju Junmai Daiginjo has won the Monde Selection Grand Gold Award consecutively for over 34 years, marking historic firsts for Japanese sake.
