Matsuzaki Sake Brewery

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

Located in the beautiful natural surroundings of Ten'ei Village in the Ou Mountains, Matsuzaki Sake Brewery has been brewing local sake loved by the community since its establishment in 1892. After the Great East Japan Earthquake, this brewery underwent dramatic evolution. The young toji, Nobuya Matsuzaki, aimed to create a cup that captures the pure scenery of Ten'ei in a bottle, full of transparency.

■ The ultimate 'water-like' transparency 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. It allows you to fully appreciate the umami of the rice while never being too heavy, gliding down your throat with a crispness like a clear stream.
• The 'gentleness' that complements food: 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 brings out the goodness of 'water,' the foundation of sake brewing.

■ The 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 continuously search for 'our own flavor' is strongly embedded in every drop.
