Zao
In Shiroishi, a castle town where Shiroishi Castle and samurai residences remain, this is a famous sake brewed by the city's only remaining brewery. Zao Sake Brewery was founded in 1873 (Meiji 6). For the brewing water, they use underground water pumped from 50 meters below the brewery grounds, sourced from the Zao mountain range. This soft water, well-reputed even among local residents, creates a pure and refreshing taste. They are also working on creating a circular system by having farmers in Shiroishi and Kakuda cities contract-cultivate sake-brewing rice such as Miyama Nishiki and Kurano Hana, then returning the sake lees to the rice fields as fertilizer. A highly skilled brewery that has won gold medals many times at the National Sake Awards. Each glass is like a direct reflection of the majestic nature of Zao.
