Incorporated as "Taketsuru Shuzou Co., Ltd."
Takehara, which faces the Seto Inland Sea, prospered as a salt-making town of the Asano family in the early modern period from the port town of the Kobayakawa family in the Middle Ages. Both the port industry and the salt industry are closely related to the sea, and the sake making industry that has developed along with these developments reflects the climate and history, which is the significance of making sake here.
Therefore, umami is important. The abundant marine products obtained from the Seto Inland Sea in front of you are delicious, and sake with umami is several times more delicious. Umami is known to have such a synergistic effect. In addition, after the rise and fall affected by changes in social conditions from the Edo period to the Meiji period, there is now Takehara sake.
Taketsuru Shuzo will continue to convey the climate and history of Takehara through sake. Thank you for your patronage.
