Tsuru no E Sake Brewery

【A drop of elegance brewed by mother and daughter】 The pride of the castle town protected by 'Tsuru no E Sake Brewery'

On Nanokamachi Street in Aizuwakamatsu, where white-walled earthen storehouses remain, 'Tsuru no E Sake Brewery' has been inheriting traditional techniques for over two hundred years at a street corner that breathes the history of the town. Once honored as the official supplier of the Aizu domain, this brewery is now led by a female toji and her mother, creating delicate yet powerful sake. In the harsh winter, the aroma of steamed rice filling the brewery weaves together the supreme drops condensed with love and pride for the land.

■ A noble brand that opens the era: 'Yuri' and 'Aizu Chujo'

What made Tsuru no E Sake Brewery known nationwide are the various brands infused with new sensibilities while preserving tradition.

• Elegant beauty 'Yuri': Named after the toji herself, 'Yuri' is a masterpiece that shines with feminine delicacy. Its floral and vibrant aroma, along with a transparent and soft mouthfeel, truly embodies the 'strength and kindness' of Aizu women.
• 'Aizu Chujo' carrying the spirit of the samurai: Named after the official title of the domain lord Matsudaira Yoshinori, 'Aizu Chujo' is a representative sake of Aizu that combines rich flavor and sharpness. Its quality, which has won numerous accolades at domestic and international competitions, tells the depth of Aizu's sake culture.

■ Respect for the 'handcrafted' spirit that breathes in the brewery

Even in this modern age of mechanization, Tsuru no E Sake Brewery insists on 'handmade'.

• Brewing with the five senses: The absorption of rice, the temperature of the koji, the sound of fermentation. The careful work of the brewery staff, honed through their five senses, creates a depth of flavor that is unparalleled.

In an old brewery that has watched over the history of Aizu, a cup full of love is brewed as mother and daughter work closely together. Enjoying the warmth of this local sake while taking in the charm of the castle town will further enrich and vividly color the memories of your journey.
