A delicious sake brewed with careful consideration, inspired by the color of pale cherry blossoms.

Sake brewing at Masumoto Sake Brewery began in the first year of the Meiji era, when Japan was taking a major turn in a new direction. In the Notogawa area of ​​Shiga Prefecture, which is blessed with abundant water sources, we use underground water from the Suzuka Mountains and high-quality sake rice from Shiga Prefecture to make small quantities using methods passed down from generation to generation. It produces local sake with a strong flavor that brings out the flavor of rice, and continues to be loved by the locals as the only sake brewery in the area.

The company's representative brand, ``Hakuzakura,'' was named by the first generation Tobei, who was impressed by the beauty of the cherry blossoms blooming on the grounds of a nearby shrine and wished to create a beautiful sake that resembled the pale cherry color. Its flavor continues to evolve without fading, and it has received high praise, including winning awards at local sake festivals held within the prefecture.

The current brewer is the 5th generation brewer. They are also trying out new flavors, such as developing ``Omi Tobei,'' which offers a variety of types of raw sake, and ``Hana to Neko,'' which has an adorable label.
All brands are made in small quantities, so they may sell out quickly. You can purchase it at Masumoto Saketen, a store near the family-owned brewery, so be sure to stop by when you visit Notogawa.
