Tsuru no E Sake Brewery

【A drop of elegance brewed by mother and daughter】 The pride of the castle town preserved 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 this historic corner. Once honored as the official supplier to the Aizu domain, this brewery is now led by a female toji and her mother, producing sake that is both delicate and powerful. In the harsh winter, what is woven together with the aroma of steamed rice filling the brewery is the supreme drop, 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, embodies the 'strength and kindness' of Aizu women.
• The spirit of the samurai embodied in 'Aizu Chujo': Named after the official title of the domain lord Matsudaira Yoshinori, 'Aizu Chujo' is a representative sake of Aizu, possessing both rich flavor and sharpness. Its quality, which has won numerous accolades in domestic and international competitions, tells the depth of Aizu's sake culture.

■ Respect for 'handcrafted' work that breathes life into 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 water by rice, the temperature of the koji, the sound of fermentation. The careful work of the brewery staff, sharpened by their five senses, creates a depth of flavor that is unmatched.

In this old brewery that has watched over the history of Aizu, a cup filled with love is brewed as mother and daughter work side by side. Enjoying the charm of the castle town while tasting this warm local sake will further enrich and vividly color your travel memories.
