Shimane Local Sake (Izumo Toji)
Shimane is said to be the birthplace of sake in Japan. The Izumo Toji is a group of artisans who have honed their skills in this very land of Izumo. Breweries throughout the prefecture inherit these techniques to brew characterful local sakes. The Izumo Toji guild was established during the Taisho era as the Akishika Toji Guild, later renaming itself to the Izumo Toji Guild, carrying a history of over a hundred years. Their signature style is characterized by a complex flavor profile where acidity, umami, sweetness, and bitterness blend harmoniously. Many of the brands are ideal for drinking with food, pairing perfectly with San'in delicacies such as Izumo Soba and Nodoguro (blackthroat galia). One of the joys of Shimane's local sake is comparing the different flavors from each brewery. We invite you to savor each glass and experience the artisanal skills passed down through generations in this land of mythology.
