Sake with a 300-year history of dedication
Founded at the end of the 17th century, this traditional sake brewery has been in business for 300 years.The locally-rooted Tago Honke Sake Brewery consumes 100% of its sake within the prefecture.It is a sake brewery that has been carrying on the “local production for local consumption” concept that has been attracting attention recently for 300 years.
The Kamo Itsuha Daiginjo sake, made with water from the Kamo River, a clear stream that flows near Tsuyama, is an aromatic and flavorful gem that has won the Monde Selection Gold Award.
In addition to sake, the brewery also produces shochu (Japanese liquor) and liqueurs using local ingredients.The most notable beer is Tsuyama’s local beer, Sakushu Tsuyama Beer, which was introduced in February 2010 as “Dry Stout Tsuyama Horumon Udon Beer” to go with Tsuyama’s local delicacy, Horumon Udon (hormone udon).
This bitter black beer with a smoky aroma is rich in both bitterness and acidity, making it a perfect match for horumon udon.
Other locally-rooted products created by the company include “ITSUH” and “TSUYAMA,” which are no less than authentic German beers, and “Sakura Monogatari,” a pale pink beer with a slight cherry aroma, inspired by Tsuyama, a famous cherry blossom viewing spot.
