Takeuchi Sake Brewing

Takeuchi Sake Brewing is the only brewery in Hofu City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, founded in 1901. The first Kohei Takeuchi fell in love with the quality of the groundwater, which was used as water presented to the lord of the Choshu Domain in the Edo period, and opened the sake brewing business in this land.
Since its founding, 100% natural water pumped from the well has been used for water used in the sake brewing process, and tap water is not used even for washing sake brewing tools. This water is groundwater from the first-class Saba River system, which has been selected as the river with the best water quality, and the mellow soft water is wonderful natural water that finishes sake with a soft mouthfeel even if the sake meter value indicates dry.
Takeuchi Sake Brewing has been using 100% Yamaguchi Prefecture rice since 1995, and by requesting production from cooperative farmers, they have established a system that can ensure quality and peace of mind by seeing the face of the producer. Also, from 2020, as a new initiative, they are working on sake brewing with the phantom sake rice 'Kokuryo Miyako' born in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
The brand name 'Nishiki Sekai' implies 'Nishiki', which refers to silk fabrics using colored threads of two or more colors or gold and silver threads, and represents a wonderful world that can only be opened by connecting and mixing with various people.
