"Kurobekyo" is the flagship brand of Hayashi Shuzojo, embodying the steep and beautiful nature of the Kurobe Gorge. Brewed with pristine underground water nurtured by Northern Alps snowmelt and highly polished selected rice, it is a masterpiece born from 400 years of heritage and the passion of a young Toji.

Its crystal-clear transparency is harmonized with the umami of rice, making it a beloved ultimate food companion both locally and beyond, earning top honors at numerous sake competitions.

"Kachidoki" is the representative brand of Toide Shuzo, which preserves the tradition of handmade sake in Takaoka. Brewed meticulously by artisans using the pristine underground water of the Shogawa River and selected Toyama-grown rice, it features a straightforward flavor. The sake is characterized by a clean, crisp dry mouthfeel that gives way to the gentle, natural umami of the rice. Due to its extremely limited production, it is rarely seen outside the local region and is hailed as a 'phantom sake' among enthusiasts. It is an ultimate food companion that enhances the flavors of a meal without ever becoming tiring.

Brewed using the finest sake rice, Yamada Nishiki, and the pristine underground water of the Shogawa River, it gathers the essence of Tateyama Shuzo's exceptional craftsmanship. Acclaimed as the 'King of Tanrei Karakuchi' (light and dry), its flavor features crystal-clear transparency and a brisk finish, perfectly balanced with the concentrated umami of the rice. Receiving overwhelming support as a food companion, it is chosen not only in Toyama but also by high-end Japanese inns and restaurants nationwide, making it an essential, supreme sake of Toyama.

"Tachiyama" is the signature brand of Yoshie Shuzo, named after the sacred peak of Mount Tachiyama in Toyama. Brewed by a family of only three using pristine Shogawa underground water and selected rice, it possesses an 'extra-dry' character that stands out even among Toyama's sakes. Its flavor harmonizes a sharp, crisp finish with the robust, powerful umami unique to handmade brewing, resulting in a satisfying yet smooth drink. Due to its very limited production, it is highly rare and cherished by true dry-sake lovers as a supreme bottle filled with the passion of a micro-brewery.
