Takata Shuzo

Takata Shuzo is a brewery that continues to protect tradition within the historic white wall warehouse district of Kurayoshi City.
The main building is a valuable structure built in 1843 (Tenpo 14) and is designated as a protected cultural property of Tottori Prefecture. In this brewery, which is also a part of the historic landscape, they stick to small-quantity production where many processes are done by hand.
The feature is the inheritance of the traditional yeast starter method "Sanki Amazakemoto" using lactic acid bacteria. Using mainly "Tamasakae," a sake brewing suitable rice from Tottori Prefecture, they pursue good throat feel that is neither sweet nor dry, light and smooth. It is a sophisticated sake quality that harmonizes a faint citrus scent, moderately juicy umami, and light sharpness.
