Tsuji Honten who make gozenshu Saké was founded in Okayama in the scenic mountain town of Katsuyama in 1804. It is currently helmed by the Tsuji brother sister team.
Maiko Tsuji, the first woman in Okayama Prefecture, has been brewing sake since 2007, taking over after Mr. Takumi Harada, who was an expert in our store for more than 40 years.
They have a very young brewing team, all under 40 years old. They are committed to using the oldest sakamai, omachi rice, which was discovered in Okayama in 1859. They declared they will be an all omachi brewery by the year 2022.
Tsuji honten are experts when it comes to using omachi. As a young team, it is interesting that they also brewed Saké with one of the rarest and oldest brewing methods, bodaimoto.
This week's selection is all omachi, all bodaimoto, to showcase their skills in using the oldest rice and oldest brewing methods to a modern and progressive effect.
