【The traditional 'Bandaiho', the passionate 'The Wind Blows'】 The sake brewed by 'Shirai Sake Brewery' reflects the terroir of Aizumisato

In Aizumisato, where the fertile land of the Aizu basin spreads out. Since its founding in 1826 (Bunsei 9), 'Shirai Sake Brewery' has been sincerely brewing sake in this region. 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 that paves the way for the next generation of sake.

■ The elegance of 'Bandaiho' loved across eras

The brand 'Bandaiho' is 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-defined flavor, created by Aizu's rice and water, and the harsh cold of winter, is truly the original scenery 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. Its lineup, centered around unfiltered raw sake, 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 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, that 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?
