Dive in to this rush of a sake
The Kurosawa brewery lays near the source of the great Chikuma river, and produces premium sake. True to the brand, this sake is silky smooth, full-bodied with a slight silver hue to match. Cool and clean, like a rushing river, pop out a bottle to bask in wonderful earthy flavors that go hand in hand with hearty meals. Definitely a must try, whether you're just dipping your toes or diving in.CHARACTERISTICS

Kurosawa Shuzo was established in 1858 in Yachiyo, a village with population a little over 10,000 even today. It is located right beneath three tall mountains at a high altitude. The temperature in winter goes under 10°F. Yachiho surrounds itself with beautiful mountains such as the Mt. Asama and Mt. Yatsugatake, also the Chikuma river which is one of the longest in Japan. Since its inception, Kurosawa has been brewing authentic sake under the most ideal conditions; beautiful and natural surroundings with clean air, high quality water, and cool temperatures.
