Miyoshi Masamune is the flagship brand boasted by Asakura Shuzo, a traditional brand inherited through corporate restructuring with Miyoshi Shuzojo (later ASEED BREW) in Hiroshima Prefecture.
The brand name is derived from Miyoshi Shuzojo in Hiroshima, and products bearing the Toji name "Naoemon", which has been succeeded by the brewery for generations, are also developed.
Brewed using the rich natural environment of the Chikugo River basin and underground water from the Aso mountain range, and high-quality rice nurtured in the Asakura region, one of Kyushu's leading granaries. It features a unique taste that fuses Hiroshima's traditional brewing technology and Fukuoka's climate, and while based on Tanrei Dry sake quality, it has a well-balanced finish with plump and gentle umami.
Junmai Ginjo "Miyoshi Masamune Naoemon" features a faintly fresh and fruity mouthfeel, and when put in the mouth, the plump umami of rice spreads, and the sharpness coming from the refreshing bitterness and astringency leaves a pleasant finish. As a Tanrei Dry sake that is dry but deeply tasteful and has gentle umami, it goes well with a wide range of dishes and is loved as a food sake.
Miyoshi Masamune, brewed in the quiet rural landscape of Asakura, is mainly drunk locally as a brand where regionality and traditional technology harmonize, utilizing the blessings of the Chikugo River and the geographical characteristics of Kyushu's rich granary.
