"Wakakoma" is the flagship brand launched by this long-established brewery (founded in 1860) to break through traditional boundaries and explore new horizons in sake. Representing a "young horse" (wakakoma)—the brewery's origin—leaping vigorously, it was created by the 6th generation brewer Yoshihiro Kashiwase with the goal of producing a sake filled with such vitality and life.
The hallmark of this brand is the combination of an "overwhelming juiciness" that captivates you from the first sip and a "crystal-like transparency." Specialized in unfiltered raw undiluted sake (Muroka Nama Genshu) and low polishing ratios (such as 80% polished rice), they carefully extract the potential umami of the rice, while a refined acidity provides a brilliantly clean finish.
Furthermore, the deep beauty of revived "Kioke-shikomi" (wood-vat brewing) fuses with modern sensibilities. Every drop, collected through the traditional "Mukatsu-dori" process, encapsulates the passion of the young brewer and the rich terroir of Tochigi. Continuously leaving a vivid impression on the modern sake scene, "Wakakoma" is a masterpiece—a stallion of the new era lighting the future of sake.
