Joku
"Joku" is a local sake brewed by Hachinohe Shurui in the town of Gonohe. The brewery itself was formed when five neighboring breweries merged under the wartime enterprise control order, and this specific brand was launched in 2007 as a new product for the Gonohe Factory. The name is derived from the artistic pseudonym "As if the sky" (Sora no gotoshi) used in calligraphy by the seventh-generation head. The sake is brewed using soft water with a hardness of 40, pumped from a depth of 80 meters from the underground waters of the Hakkoda mountain range. It features a commitment to Aomori-grown sake rice and the No. 10 yeast, which is said to have been born within the brewery, all carefully brewed through the low-temperature, long-term fermentation method of the Nanbu Toji masters. It is pure, elegant, with a full-bodied umami and a smooth finish. It pairs exceptionally well with the distinct seasonal cuisine of Aomori, particularly the horse meat dishes that are central to Gonohe's food culture.
