O Horetsu

O Horetsu is a sake brewed by Horetsu Shuzo in Ukan-cho, Takahashi City, named by combining the auspicious 'Sakura' with the posthumous name 'Horetsu-ko' of Mitsumasa Ikeda, the third lord of the Okayama domain.
Founded in 1918, the brewery is situated upstream of the Ukan River in a rich natural setting, using mineral-rich underground water.
With a wide lineup spanning Daiginjo, Junmai Ginjo, Ginjo, and Honjozo, they have earned multiple Gold Awards at the National New Sake Competition.
The historic 1882 brewery hosts an annual 'JAZZ IN UKAN' concert in late April, blending culture with sake-making.
Treasured locally as a rare sake with regional distribution.
