Santoka

Santoka is the representative brand of Kanemitsu Sake Brewing, and is a sake born in memory of the haiku poet 'Taneda Santoka'. Santoka ran a sake brewing business in the prefecture for about 10 years from Meiji 40, but went bankrupt in Taisho 5, and there is a historical connection that the predecessor company of Kanemitsu Sake Brewing absorbed and merged Santoka's company.
Using 100% brewing rice from Yamaguchi Prefecture, thorough quality control is carried out by small-quantity production. Junmai Daiginjo Genshu features moderate acidity and fruity taste, and Junmai Ginjo uses Yamaguchi Prefecture brewing rice 'Yamada Nishiki' polished to 55%, and is a sake with a well-balanced acidity and sweetness that you won't get tired of drinking.
While modest, you can enjoy the balance of solid bitterness, astringency, and spiciness, and it is popular as a sake during meals that does not lose to strong-flavored dishes. The high quality is evaluated, such as winning the gold prize in Heisei 14, 15, and 18, and winning a prize in Heisei 20 in the 'National New Sake Appraisal' sponsored by the National Research Institute of Brewing.
It is one of the representative sakes of Yamaguchi, fusing the literary background of haiku poet Taneda Santoka and the commitment to using 100% brewing rice from Yamaguchi Prefecture.
