Takeuchi Sake Brewery
Counting from its founding in the early Meiji era150Takeuchi Sake Brewery celebrates its anniversary.Ishibe, Omi, where the brewery is located, was a thriving post town during the Edo period, and was said to have a reputation among travelers as ``this area has good sake.''
From ancient times, this area has been blessed with the conditions for producing delicious sake: the cold winters of Hiei Oroshi, underground water from the foothills of Mt. Suzuka, and high-quality Omi rice.
The representative brands are ``Ko no Izumi'', which is popular as a local sake from Omi, and ``Yuiyu'', a sake that you will never get tired of drinking.
Using sake rice from Shiga Prefecture such as Tamaei, Ginbubuki, and Watafune, our brewers work together as a team to produce sake with a deep, crisp quality that brings out the flavor of the rice.
While preserving tradition, it also features a wide variety of variations that meet modern needs.Eye-catching items include refreshing fruit liqueurs made with mango, yuzu, and sake, and ``Samigen,'' which is made with special antioxidant-reduced water.
