"Shimazaki Unpo" was a special brand brewed by the former Shimazaki Senji Shoten (closed in 2014), named after the artistic pseudonym of the 3rd generation head, Sakaeya Rihee, who was active during the Edo period.
Shimazaki Unpo was a renowned ink wash painter, and his artistic sensibility was deeply reflected in the brewery's craft. The labels for this brand featured Unpo's works, such as his "Ayu-zu" (painting of sweetfish), which possess such high artistic value that they are designated as tangible cultural properties of Tochigi Prefecture.
The sake itself was a Tokubetsu Junmai brewed using traditional methods, characterized by the umami of rice and a gentle aroma. It was cherished as a bottle of cultural significance that fused Japanese sake with fine art.
