Nakamura Sake Brewing is a small brewery in the castle town 'Hagi', the birthplace of the Meiji Restoration. The first generation Bunsuke Nakamura founded it in August Meiji 35, and started the sake brewing business in Taisho 3. The brewery is located right next to the 'Ubakura Canal', which was built in April Ansei 2 (1855) by Lord Takachika Mori, the 13th head of the Choshu Mori domain.
'Shirouo fishing' with a four-armed scoop net, which is also a poetic charm of Hagi, is actively carried out, and fishing reaches its peak around the time the new sake is ready. The name 'Takarabune' (Treasure Ship) is filled with the feeling of wishing for happiness and prosperity, thinking of the scene where people celebrate and rejoice at the ships that returned with a large catch of Shirouo.
In recent years, while sweet sake is increasing, Nakamura Sake Brewing's 'Takarabune' is dry, uses sake brewing suitable rice Gohyakumangoku, is slightly dry and has a refreshing throat feel, is very easy to drink, and is recommended for evening drinks. It is a sake that goes very well with Hagi fish and Kamaboko (fish cake). It has won the gold prize three times in the National New Sake Appraisal in the years of the Olympics in H8, H12, and H16.
