Pure rice sake made from the sweet underground water of the Shirakami Mountains

The only sake brewery on the west coast of Aomori Prefecture is located in the coastal town of Ajigasawa.The words ``Ando Suigun'' written on the bright red door are Ozaki Sake Brewery's signature brand.

The Ando Suigun, which operated from Tosaminato, a port on Lake Jusanko located in the northwestern part of the Tsugaru Peninsula, amassed great wealth through active trade with other countries.It is said that after losing the war in the previous nine years, Sadato Abe's orphaned son Takaakimaru moved his base from Jusanminato to Ajigasawa.Ozaki Sake Brewery's first junmai sake was born with the name of Ando Suigun, which has ties to Ajigasawa Town.The distinctive red label is inspired by a beautiful sunset over the Sea of ​​Japan.
Ozaki Sake Brewery Co., Ltd.It is said that the Ozaki family, whose first generation were sailors, began brewing sake in 1860, when they were the eighth generation.Remnants of the relationship with ships still remain in the sake breweries, and the low-ceilinged warehouses are said to have been used as warehouses for storing fish.
Ozaki Sake Brewery Co., Ltd.Most of the rice used at Ozaki Sake Brewery is produced within the prefecture, and all processes use soft, sweet underground water from the Shirakami Mountains, a world heritage site. ``Andong Suigun'' is refreshing, light, and has a pleasant taste.Everything from manufacturing to bottling and shipping is carried out by a small group of four people, including Dai Ozaki, the 14th generation brewer.
Ozaki Sake Brewery Co., Ltd.After “Andong Suigun”, “God’s Seat” accounts for the second highest production volume.The name and title were written by the late actor Hisaya Morishige.This ginjo sake is named after the gods drinking sake.The book was created after Dai-san's father, Yukiichi, the 13th generation brewer, fell in love with Morishige's writing and consulted him about the title.It is said that the subtle aroma and smooth taste could not have been achieved without the underground water from the Shirakami Mountains.
