"Zenjuro" is a brand brewed by Wakakoma Shuzo (founded in 1860) with deep respect for the brewery's long history and tradition. While the flagship "Wakakoma" brand symbolizes modern freshness, "Zenjuro" pursues a robust, core umami and a calm, centered flavor that highlights the true strength of the rice.
Using techniques passed down through the oldest brewery in Oyama, it maintains Wakakoma's unique commitment to being unfiltered, raw, undiluted, and low-polished, while enhancing its sophistication as a food-pairing sake. It is characterized by a mellow rice aroma, multi-layered dense umami, and a gentle acidity that balances everything.
The subtle, mature complexity from the historical wood-vat brewing (Kioke-shikomi) can be felt, providing a sense of comfort that deepens with every sip. This brand, which can be called the brewery's origin, embodies a sincere attitude toward sake-making that remains unchanged throughout the ages.
