    Overview


    Umetsu Shuzo Co.Ltd.
     is a sake brewery located in Kitae Town, Tottori Prefecture, approximately 2,190 meters from Yura Station.
     Founded in the first year of the Keio era (1865), this brewery has a long history and produces a variety of alcoholic beverages, including sake and plum wine.
     Its operating hours are from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and it is closed on irregular days, so it is recommended to check in advance before visiting.
    One of the most popular products from this brewery is the "Nohana," a plum wine based on sake.
     This plum wine uses fully ripe Nohana plums and is rich in various organic acids and vitamins.
     Additionally, it also contains natural amino acids derived from sake made solely from rice and rice koji, enhancing its flavor.
     It can be enjoyed chilled or warmed, allowing for diverse drinking options.
     As it ages, its flavor deepens, making older bottles especially enjoyable.
    Moreover, the brewery also offers a "Namazake Junmai Nigori Genshu" (unpasteurized, unfiltered, and undiluted sake).
     This special drink captures the freshness that is typically only available when kept in a refrigerator.
     Made solely from rice, it features the inherent umami and subtle sweetness of the rice, along with a characteristic cloudiness.
     This type of sake pairs well with food, earning praise from many customers.
    The craftsmans here uphold traditional methods while dedicating themselves to the craft of creating delicious sake.
     The skill and passion that go into making this sake can be felt with every sip.
     Additionally, the brewery offers reservation-only tour experiences, providing an opportunity to learn more about your favorite sake in depth.
    I encourage you to visit and enjoy the unique culture of Japan and the delightful sake that this brewery has to offer.
