Matsuzaki Sake Brewery

[The next generation standard created by the flowing clear stream] Matsuzaki Sake Brewery challenges the essence of refreshing sake.

Located in the beautiful nature of Ten'ei Village, nestled in the Ou Mountains, Matsuzaki Sake Brewery has been brewing local sake loved by the community since its founding in 1892. This brewery underwent dramatic evolution in the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake. The young toji, Shinya Matsuzaki, aimed to create a cup that captures the pure scenery of Ten'ei in a bottle, exuding transparency.

■ The ultimate 'water-like' clarity that quenches the throat.

The representative brand 'Hirotogawa' astonished enthusiasts nationwide with its overwhelming 'freshness'.

• Ideal balance: A gentle and elegant aroma that spreads the moment it touches the palate. While firmly conveying the umami of rice, it is never too heavy, gliding down the throat with a crispness like a clear stream.
• Gentleness that complements cuisine: Its flavor, which does not assert too much yet radiates a definite presence, enriches the dining table and enhances conversation, making it the perfect supporting role. This modern masterpiece maximally extracts the goodness of 'water', the essence of sake brewing.

■ Resonance of Ten'ei's climate and youthful passion.

The name 'Hirotogawa' is derived from the ancient name of the Shakadō River that once flowed through the village.

• Brewing the land: Local rice, local water, and the craftsmanship of brewers who know the land inside and out. The passion to rise from unforeseen crises and continue to seek 'our own flavor' is strongly imbued in every drop.
