Distillery Information

The original Wakatake Onikoroshi sake is historically famous for having comforted many weary travelers crossing the Ohi river. For years, since the brewery’s foundation, they have lived through the rise and fall of history with the people in the town, and have enjoyed their hospitality. Although there were several breweries in the town at that time, due to its good-quality water, Ohmuraya shuzojo brewery is the only one remaining now. They continue doing their best to convey one of the most important traditional industries of Japan to the next generation. Wakatake is run by Mr. Matsunaga, the 6th Generation President and the Brewmaster is Mr. Hibino. The team is small, 5 to 7 people. Importer notes A more fruit forward style of sake, on the nose, subtle tones of grapefruit, white peach, and heather. On the palate, the sake is balanced and structured with a fatty mouth feel that increases as it warms to room temperature(the brewmaster recommends this). The alcohol and acid combine for a brusque finish, with flavors of lemon peel, orange oil and honey harmonizing expressively.
