Makino Shuzo (Oozakari)

When poured into a cup, it offers a crisp and clear aroma. Upon tasting, the mellow mouthfeel allows the umami of the rice to expand. It is a sake that you won't tire of, designed to gently complement your meals. Brewing 'Oozakari' is Makino Shuzo, the oldest brewery in Gunma Prefecture, said to have been founded in the 3rd year of the Genroku era (1690). The brewery is located in Kurabuchi-machi, Takasaki City, at the foot of Mount Haruna. The name 'Oozakari' (meaning a large sake cup) is said to have originated from a celebratory toast made with a large cup by Oguri Ueno-no-suke, an official of the Shogunate, upon his return to Japan after traveling to the United States as part of a diplomatic mission in the 1st year of the Man'en era. Brewed using selected sake rice and the clear underground water of Mount Haruna, it achieved the distinction of being the only gold medalist from Gunma Prefecture in the IWC SAKE category in 2020. It is a proud cup of sake nurtured by the waters and history of Joshu.
