Beyond the kura gate that retains the remnants of the old highway, lies a sake brewing site that represents Aizu, where a respect for good old traditions coexists with a challenging spirit to pave the way for the next generation of sake.

■ The elegance of 'Bandaiho' loved across generations

'Bandaiho' is the brand 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, is truly 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 draws out the rice's inherent vitality. Centered around unfiltered raw sake, this lineup features a powerful umami and fresh acidity, bringing a new breeze to Aizu's sake industry, just as its name suggests.
• Pursuit of terroir: Collaborating with local farmers, the sake is brewed with carefully cultivated rice from the soil. This sincere approach creates a rich depth within each drop.

The weight of a two-century history and innovation that illuminates the future. Like the breeze that crosses the grove of Isasumi Shrine, this cup is 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?
