Ippongi

With a single sip, a clear and pure aroma spreads across the palate, followed by a clean finish—this 'sharpness' further enhances the flavors of Fukui's ingredients. This is the local sake from Ippongi Kubo Honten, a brewery that has continued in Katsuyama, Oku-Echizen since 1902. The sake's name is derived from the Zen phrase 'Daiichigi-gi' (The First Truth). The brewery inherited this name, which was originally established as the official sake for the Katsuyama Ogasawara Clan that ruled this region during the feudal era. The snow-deep Katsuyama Basin experiences significant temperature fluctuations, making it a prime production area for the 'Gohyakumangoku' sake rice. Utilizing the Nanbu-style brewing method, it produces a beautiful sake that complements food perfectly. With its crisp finish and elegant aroma, it is a cup that gently accompanies the dining tables of Fukui.
