Shirataki Sake Brewery Minatoya Tosuke Junmai Daiginjo 630ml Junmai Daiginjo [J373]

The beginnings of Shirataki Sake Brewery date back approximately 150 years.

With the beginning of the Meiji period, the roads became more active and sales of sake also gained momentum.

Currently, the 7th generation Shintaro Takahashi is the head of the family, and Shingo Yamaguchi, a favorite disciple of former chief brewer Tsuyoshi Takatsuna, who inherited the skills of the late Takaaki Kawai, who was selected as a modern master craftsman, serves as the chief brewer. Shirataki has cherished water since its founding. We put our hearts into making sake and work hard to make high-quality sake, including Jozenjosui.

Warehouse

The main ingredients of sake are rice and water.

The water used for brewing is groundwater pumped up from the brewery grounds.

As for the rice, we mainly use rice suitable for sake brewing, such as Yamada Nishiki and Gohyakumangoku, which can express the easy-drinking characteristic of Shirataki. )doing.

In addition to high-quality raw materials, what is needed is equipment.

Another important intangible raw material is the craftsmanship of brewers.

Bottled

At the bottling factory, all staff members work diligently to ensure that there are no defects and that the quality of the sake carefully brewed in the brewery is not compromised, so that customers can drink deliciously and with peace of mind.

The containers we use are purchased new from the manufacturer, cleaned thoroughly, and checked with an inspection machine to ensure that there are no cracks.

In terms of quality, all sake except raw sake is pasteurized, rapidly cooled to prevent the flavor from deteriorating, and stored in an air-conditioned warehouse.

At the bottling factory, even the shipping cardboard is considered a product, and we prevent stains and scratches from occurring on labels, packages, and cardboard.

Six of the 13 staff members are women.

Research department

In addition to analyzing brewed liquor and bottled products, it is also used as a place for product development.

The role of quality control is to use measuring machines and reagents to check whether the product meets specifications before and after bottling.

In addition, after bottling, the products are stored in-house for six months along with an analysis sheet, which is used to respond to customer inquiries.

shipping

After bottling, we carefully store the products and deliver them to wholesalers, retailers, and customers who purchase them through mail order.

In addition, the products stored in our warehouse are shipped not only to 47 prefectures but also to countries around the world with the help of shipping companies.
