Kome Hyappyo

Kome Hyappyo (A Hundred Sacks of Rice) is a brand that embodies the representative philosophy of Nagaoka. Its name originates from a historic episode during the late Edo period, when Torasaburo Kobayashi of the Nagaoka Clan chose not to eat donated rice but instead invested it in education for the future. Similarly, Tochikura Shuzo looks toward the future rather than temporary profit, as seen in their early transition to 100% Junmai production and unwavering commitment to high-quality rice. Achieving the pinnacle of the Niigata 'tanrei umakuchi' (light and flavorful) style, this sake radiates a pure brilliance that lights up hope for the future, standing alongside the pride of Nagaoka.
