Kakurei
Founded in Kyoho 2 (1717), this is a long-established sake from Shiozawa boasting over 300 years of history. It is said that 'Kakurei' by Aoki Sake Brewery was named by Makinosuke Suzuki, the author of 'Hokueetsu Sekifu,' a masterpiece that introduced the lifestyle of snow country to the nation. Suzuki was an ancestor of the current head of the brewery, and the culture of the brewery is deeply intertwined with the land. While Niigata is primarily known for light and dry (tanrei karakuchi) sake, this brewery pursues 'light and rich' (tanrei umakuchi). It features a flavor that brings out the umami of the rice, designed to pair gently with the Uonuma dining table, which typically features pickles and salty dishes. The sake, quietly aged in a snow cell, is full-bodied yet crisp. It is the pride of the land, a taste you would want to savor while walking along the historic Makinosuke-dori in Shiozawa.
