Itsubashi (Sakai Shuzo)

With just one sip, you will experience the fine, mellow mouthfeel unique to soft-water brewing and a soaring aroma—this is 'Itsubashi,' a local sake from Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Its name was inspired by the 'Kintai Bridge,' the five-arched wooden bridge spanning the Nishiki River. Founded in 1871, Sakai Shuzo brews this sake using local rice and the soft underground water of the Nishiki River that flows through the heart of Iwakuni. After winning first place at the National New Sake Awards in 1947, it has since been cherished as a representative fine sake of Yamaguchi. Its mellow and aromatic character makes it enjoyable as an accompaniment to meals. Please enjoy a glass that carries the name of Kintai Bridge, savoring the very essence of Iwakuni's landscape.
