Gassan Jousen - Futsu sake from Yoshida Sake Brewing Co.,Ltd., Shimane
Description

Yoshida Sake Brewing was founded in 1743 in the Hirose district of Yasugi City, Shimane, with family records suggesting the ancestors began producing sake as far back as 1730 under the patronage of the Hirose Domain. The Gassan brand takes its name from the mountain visible from the brewery grounds, a peak that served as the site of Toda Castle, the legendary impregnable fortress of the Sengoku period. The brewery uses locally sourced super-soft water with a hardness rating of just 0.3, one of the lowest among Japanese breweries, which supports extremely delicate fermentation and the clean, sharp finish that Gassan's house style is built on. Jousen represents the standard-grade expression of a kura whose nearly 300 years of unbroken operation in the same Yasugi valley location underpins every bottle.

Shimane
The accumulation of innovation becomes a tradition Yoshida Sake Brewery always pursues "delicious sake" every year through new attempts. Ultra -soft water prepared water designated as one of Shimane's 100 -Water Water and high -quality rice cultivated by local contract farmers uses fresh, fragrant and sharp sake. Sake is delicious. We aim to be the standing position as "Toryu Gate" that can be enjoyed by those who are not familiar with sake without having to think difficult. The watering water is made using ultra -soft water with a hardness of 0.3, which can be said to be "the softest water in Japan". This water grew out of a well that has been restored by the Hirose clan's successive feudal lords and restored the famous water "Ochanomizuido", which was said to be the best water in the "Instill -style tea ceremony". It is very difficult to use soft water when making sake, but I think that soft water is a gentle water that fits into the body for the drinker. In addition, soft water is brought out the scent and taste well, so I think it will be a sake that makes it easy to feel the gorgeous scent and the original taste of rice. Although it is a difficult water that is difficult to handle as a creator, it has a soft taste that is gentle on the body for the drinker, and you can drink deliciously even with fresh sake, and want to make sake brewing with a feeling of the smile of the drinker. It is a water chosen with the strong feelings of two directions that you want to make a roots rooted in the local area.
