Yoshimura Hideo Shoten (𠮷村秀雄商店)

Founded in 1915 in Iwade, Wakayama Prefecture, Yoshimura Hideo Shoten is the artisan house behind the acclaimed brand "Kurumazaka." Guided by the philosophy of "Sake that enriches the dining table," the brewery focuses on creating sakes with a robust Umami backbone and a vibrant acidity. Rather than following the trend of light and simple profiles, Kurumazaka offers a rich, layered experience that excels at various temperatures, particularly at room temperature or when warmed. Known for their mastery in maturation, their sakes often feature a creamy texture and sophisticated depth. It is a brand that beautifully captures the soul of the Kishu region, designed specifically for those who appreciate the profound harmony between sake and gastronomy.
