Takeshige Honke Shuzo is a traditional sake brewery located in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture, founded in the first year of the Meiji era.
 Here, you can enjoy a variety of sake, including its flagship brand "Misonotake.
" The brewery operates from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays, and it is closed on weekends and public holidays, so it's advisable to check before visiting.
The charm of this brewery lies in its brewing method.
 It employs the traditional kimoto method, which results in sake that possesses deep richness and abundant umami.
 The "Misonotake Nojun Uma-kuchi Kimoto Gen-shu Muroka Nama-zake" is especially popular, featuring a crisp mouthfeel balanced with gentle sweetness.
 Additionally, the brewery has adopted its unique aging methods, including "Kurauchi Namashu," in which sake is matured at room temperature while still being unpasteurized.
 This innovative approach to sake has captivated many people with its distinctiveness.
Furthermore, the sake called "Juuni Roku," a type of doburoku, has also garnered attention.
 This sake is characterized by the richness of the rice and refreshing acidity, complemented by a moderate carbonation that enhances the enjoyment of each sip.
 It is designed with an aluminum cap to allow fermentation gases to escape, allowing drinkers to appreciate the evolving flavors with each taste.
 Additionally, the "Junmai Reishu Murasaki Tsuyugusa," made with 100% Nagano Prefecture-grown Miyama Nishiki rice, offers a very gentle and easy-drinking finish.
 Its pricing is also reasonable, earning it support from many customers.
At Takeshige Honke Shuzo, you can feel the passion for sake brewing, which is considered an essential part of Japanese culture.
 I highly recommend visiting to experience the rich flavors and historically rooted brewing methods of this sake.
 Encountering the unique tastes from this region is sure to be a new discovery.
