Uchiko's local sake brewed with contracted rice and water from Odamiyama

From the Edo period to the Meiji period, Uchiko Town in Ehime Prefecture prospered with the production of wax and water transportation along the Odagawa River. It was established in 1920 (Taisho 9) by the merger of eight breweries in the Yokaichi-Gokoku area, which is lined with traditional townhouses and mansions of wealthy merchants, and is also known for its active playhouse, Uchiko-za. This is the sake brewery that was the predecessor of the current Sake Roku Sake Brewery. After that, the first generation, Shigeichiro Sakai, took over the business, and in 8 (Showa 1941), the company began carving out its history as ``Sakaroku Sake Brewery'', taking one letter from his father's first and last name.Sake Roku Brewery Co., Ltd. 04He was succeeded by the fourth generation, Mr. Fujio, who established the brewery's philosophy that continues to this day. The name of the representative brand, ``Kyo Hina,'' is said to have been named by the first generation after the Doll's Festival, the day when a famous monk in Kyoto drank and praised this sake.However, the fourth generation named it after his daughter named the sake. I raised him with great care.

Sake Roku Brewery Co., Ltd. 06He used to say, ``Machines can make sake that impresses, but they cannot make sake that moves people.'' While preserving the traditional hand-made method, he was also one of the first to produce tanrei-dry junmai sake and daiginjo, which were rare in the prefecture at the time. It is said that he was devoted to improving the quality of his products, such as by introducing brightly colored bottles at a time when bottles were the mainstream.Sake Roku Brewery Co., Ltd. 03This philosophy of emphasizing quality has been passed on to the current sixth generation, and the old-fashioned sake brewing method, which is made entirely by hand, is still alive and well in the same wooden brewery that was used when the company was founded. We use Yamada Nishiki and Matsuyama Mitsui grown by contracted farmers in the prefecture as raw materials, and the rich bounty of Odamiyama, which is also the water source for Uchiko Town, for the water used to brew Uchiko's local sake. continuing.Sake Roku Brewery Co., Ltd. 05Its taste is characterized by the subtle and elegant aroma of Ehime yeast, the clean and refreshing texture, and the umami and sweetness of the rice that emerges from within. It also has a sharp aftertaste. In addition, brands with stoic-inspired names associated with swords, such as ``Hitto Ryodan'' and ``Hidden Sword,'' remain extremely popular.
