This time's recommendation
Shiwa Sake Brewery is a sake brewery that was founded as Hirota Sake Brewery in 1903 (Meiji 36), and after becoming a corporation in 2022, it took on its current trade name and celebrated its 120th anniversary this year.
The town of Shiwa, where the brewery is located, is located almost in the center of Iwate Prefecture, and has prospered as a hub for shipping on the Kitakami River and a post town since ancient times.There are still four sake brewing companies in the town, and it is famous as the ``birthplace of Nanbu brewers''.
Our representative brand, ``Hiroki,'' has adopted the 100% acid base brewing method since 2017, and continues to evolve as a sake that focuses on the flavor of rice.
On the other hand, ``Shichu'' is a word that represents the universe and sky that surrounds us, and is attracting attention as a new brand that conveys Shiwa Town's pride to the world.
The person in charge of the construction is Hiromi Ono, the first female chief brewer in Nanbu.
Until now, the company has been working closely with Chairman Hidetoshi Hirota, the fifth generation brewer, but since last year President Bungo Tanaka has joined the company, who is working on revitalizing the brewery with the idea that ``sake brewing is community development'', and sake production that combines tradition and innovation is progressing.
Be immersed in the powerful talk of Big Boss (President Tanaka's nickname), which has become a tradition at the end of the year!

This time's sake
This time, we will bring you 3 types of drinks to compare.♪
●Shiku Junmai Ginjo Heart Label 180ml
The entire volume is bottled immediately after pressing, so you can enjoy the fresh and refreshing taste with a gassy feel.
●Hiroki Junmai Ginjo first squeeze 180ml
Hiroki was named after the initials of the founder, Kiheiji Hirota, with the hope that it would be a sake that would be loved and enjoyed by many people. Iwate Prefecture's proud sake rice, "Ginginga," was polished to 55% and brewed with the theme of a refreshing taste and a well-balanced taste of rice flavor.
This is a bottle that has a clear, calm aroma with a clean, fresh feel, and a clear taste that gives you a sense of umami.
●Hiroki special pure rice first squeeze 180ml
Among the sake brewed with Sanki Amazakemoto, this special Junmai is a sake full of the flavor of rice that makes the most of the flavor of the rice, so it can be said to be the most standard type of brewery aiming for the taste of ``freshly cooked, chilled rice balls.''
With the theme of strong rice flavor, we used Hitomebore, a beloved edible rice from Iwate Prefecture, and polished the rice to 60% to emphasize its flavor. We deliver the flavor of rice and the freshness that only comes from freshly squeezed rice.

About Shiwa Sake Brewery
Shiwa Sake Brewery is a historic sake brewery with roots in Shiwa, the birthplace of Nanbu chief brewers. Founded in 1903, it started as Hirota Sake Brewery. However, after a period of turbulence, including a temporary ban on production due to the war, production resumed in 1947. After that, we became a corporation from a sole proprietorship, and in 2022 we took a new step as Shiwa Sake Brewery Co., Ltd.
