Description
Azumamine's namachozo Honjozo is stored unpasteurized and heat-treated only once before shipment, preserving a fresher, livelier character than fully pasteurized sake. Brewed in Shiwa Town, Iwate, the historic birthplace of the Nanbu Toji guild, this 1781-founded brewery brings ancient craftsmanship to this seasonally fresh expression.

Azumamineshuzoten & Co.Ltd
Iwate
Azuma Ren Sake Brewery was founded as Shiwa Sake Brewery in the first year of Tenmei (1781) in the middle of the Edo period. The predecessor was the "Gonbei Sake Store", which made the first "clear liquor" in Iwate during the Enpou (1670s), which led to the presence of this warehouse later.
In this store, we inherit the main stream of southern drills, and we are making sake with a heartfelt sake with a small amount of 500 stones a year, which reaches all of the preparation, aiming for "Iwate -like liquor".
