Product Description
It was in 1983 that we began to define ourselves as a brewery dedicated to working with Ogawa Yeast. The current head brewer—the fifth-generation owner, Shunji Imai—trained at Meiri Shurui, where he received direct instruction in sake brewing from Chikara Ogawa, the man who discovered Ogawa Yeast. Captivated by the vitality and allure of this yeast, he resolved to use it for our brewing upon returning to the family brewery. We honor tradition while embracing innovation—incorporating modern advancements into every aspect of our craft, from *koji* and *koji* mold to temperature control, water, the skills of our brewers, and distribution. I invite you to taste the sake brewed with Ogawa Yeast by me, the sixth-generation owner.
