Once upon a time, all Sake used to be called "Tarusake".
“Tarusake means Sake with cedar taste.
From the Edo era to the end of the Meiji era,all Sake was stored in cedar barrels.
Therefore in those days all Sake were called “Tarusake".
In 1964, Choryo succeeded in making Tarusake with the best taste by using Yoshino cedar barrels.
Since then,
we have been making Tarusake in the same traditional way for half a century.
Fresh on the palate, and pleasant cedar flavor brings its peculiar richness with well-balanced harmonic aroma.
“Yoshinosugi No Tarusake” is the only Sake that brings you the best of the taste and pleasure of Sake.
