Amano-zake (Saijo)

The famous sake 'Amano-zake' is said to have been loved by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Saijo Goshi Kaisha in Kawachinagano City carries on this prestigious tradition. The roots of Amano-zake lie in the monk's sake brewed by monks at Amanoyama Kongo-ji Temple. Its name appears in documents from the Kamakura period, and by the Muromachi period, it was widely known as a famous sake produced at the temple. It is told that Hideyoshi liked this sake so much that he even issued an official vermilion-seal letter (Shuinjo) ordering Kongo-ji to devote itself to sake brewing. This aromatic local sake, made using traditional methods, is carefully preserved by the only brewery in Minami-Kawachi that holds this historic name. Its thick, rich flavor, reminiscent of the original monk's sake, offers a different experience from modern Japanese sake. Savor a glass of this traditional brew. It is a deep and flavorful sake that invites you to reflect on the era of the warring states as you enjoy it.
