【The traditional 'Bandaiho', the passionate 'The Wind Blows'】 'Shirai Sake Brewery' brews the terroir of Aizumisato

The fertile land of the Aizu Basin spreads across Aizumisato Town. Since its establishment in 1826 (Bunsei 9), 'Shirai Sake Brewery' has been sincerely brewing sake in this area. Beyond the kura gate that retains the remnants of the old highway, lies a sake brewing site that embodies both a respect for the good old traditions and a challenging spirit that paves the way for the next generation of Japanese sake.

■ The elegance of 'Bandaiho' loved across generations

'Bandaiho' is the brand that can be considered synonymous with Shirai Sake Brewery.

• A drop that accompanies daily life: The taste, imbued with the wish for 'a fragrant sake loved for generations', has continued to support local evening drinks. The mellow and well-rounded flavor, created by Aizu's rice and water, along with the harsh winter cold, truly represents the original landscape of Aizu's dining table.

■ The impact of 'The Wind Blows' entrusted to organic rice

Alongside tradition, the brand 'The Wind Blows', released by a young sake brewer, is currently impressing enthusiasts nationwide.

• The energy of the earth: Using only rare 'organic rice', the brewing process brings out the inherent vitality of the rice. The lineup, centered around unfiltered raw sake, features a powerful umami and fresh acidity, blowing a new wind into Aizu's sake industry, just as its name suggests.
• Pursuit of terroir: Collaborating with local farmers, the rice is brewed with a focus on soil preparation. This sincere approach creates a rich depth in every drop.

With the weight of a two-century history and innovations that illuminate the future. Like the breeze that crosses the grove of Isasumi Shrine, refreshing yet deeply etched in memory, would you like to taste the genuine 'sake' that resonates with the terroir of Aizu and the soul of its makers?
