Tahara Shuzo, established in 1897 (Meiji 30) in Itoigawa, Niigata, is a small, quality-oriented brewery. Its flagship brand 'Yukitsuru' was named by Torao Tanaka, a distinguished inspector at the Ministry of Finance's Brewing Experiment Station and a pioneer of Niigata sake. While Niigata sake is generally known for its 'tanrei karakuchi' (light and dry) style, Tahara Shuzo pursues 'tanrei amakuchi' (light and sweet). With a brewing philosophy of 'soft and smooth mouthfeel, rich umami, and a crisp finish,' it maintains high quality with over 85% of its production consisting of premium designated sake. Balancing tradition with innovation, such as the early adoption of equipment utilizing NASA technology, Tahara Shuzo stands as a unique presence alongside the heritage of Itoigawa, famous for its jade.
