Ujin (Furuhashi Shuzo)
"Ujin" is a premium sake from Furuhashi Shuzo, which has continued to brew sake in the castle town of Tsuwano—the 'Little Kyoto' of San'in—since the Meiji era. The brewery was founded in 1878 (Meiji 11). Both the brewery and the shop are designated as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan. The name "Ujin" (meaning 'first battle') originates from the story of the founder, who, as a samurai of the Tsuwano Domain, experienced his first battle at the Battle of Toba-Fushimi at the age of 17. The brand embodies the spirit of always approaching sake brewing with the determination of one's first battle. The brewing water is "Tensen," an ultra-soft water springing from the headwaters of the Takatsu River, often referred to as Japan's cleanest stream. Carefully brewed with sake rice grown in Tsuwano, its elegant taste is a perfect match for the atmosphere of this Little Kyoto. It is a fine sake that you will want to savor alongside the local history after strolling through the castle town.
