Taketsuru

"Taketsuru" is a sake brewed by Taketsuru Shuzo, founded in 1733. It is the representative brand of a historic brewery that is also known as the birthplace of Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka Whisky.
Taketsuru Shuzo was the first in Hiroshima Prefecture to revive the authentic Kimoto brewing style of Nada, and since 2016, all products have been converted to "Junmai sake" without added brewer's alcohol. Known for its rich and dry Junmai sake, it has made a name for itself as the pinnacle of Junmai sake that tastes great when warmed.
Master brewer Tatsuya Ishikawa aims for "a mealtime sake that goes well with any dish, like 'rice' that doesn't choose the dish," and pursues sake brewing that maximizes the deliciousness of seafood produced by the climate of Takehara and makes food taste better without interfering with it.
