Nishiyama Shuzojo Kotsuzumi Kotenraku 720ml Alc.16.0%

Brewery's commitments

• Brewing process to keep it fresh

  Our focus in sake making is freshness. By brewing throughout the year, we maintain the freshness of our products and provide fresh sake to our customers at all times.

• Water

  All water used in our brewing process is from the well on our property (soft water) that comes from the Takeda River in Tamba. As you can read in the Japanese comic book, Oishinbo, it is said, “It’s amazing how, once you take a sip, you can feel the richness of the taste in your mouth, and once you swallow it, it’s gone. This is indeed a crisp and clear sake.” This precious water is a lifeline of sake making in Tamba.

• Unique viewpoint

  The sophisticated indigo blue bottle is daring but a little nostalgic with an outstanding sense of presence. With an impressive design which is hard to forget, this sake is recommended as a gift. This original design expresses the world of dreams created by Mr. Hirosuke Watanuki, known as Muhouan. The name, letters and bottle design of Nishiyama Shuzojo's Kotsuzumi are a very unique expression and have gained a great reputation from fans.

• Yeast

  We use Ogawa #10 Yeast, which is often used in Eastern Japan, here in Hyogo, Western Japan, where this yeast is not commonly used. Ogawa #10 Yeast is great for making high-class sake and highly valued in Japan. The mild taste of this sake is suitable to have during meals to emphasize the goodness and features of the dish. When good tastes of food and sake are integrated, a synergetic effect occurs and brings out a fantastic taste.
