ABOUT THIS BOTTLE

Masumi Shiro Party Size

Named after the word "Shirotae," a type of white cloth made of tree bark; shirotae is a word now used mainly in the realm of Japanese classic poetry to express the color white that has an other-wordly mysteriousness. Like a beautiful shirotae, this wine is soft and pliable; with its light touch, Shiro is a perfect, easy-going, everday sake. A "session sake" light enough to enjoy all night.

about this brewery

Masumi/Miyasaka Brewery

Masumi, a nationally admired sake brand, was founded in 1662 in Suwa, where a tradition of precise craftsmanship led the city to become the center of the silk industry. Still today, this attention to detail remains at the heart of the Masumi philosophy. In the 1920's, the brewery fell on hard times.The brewery's president, Masaru Miyasaka, appointed a young, 28-year-old sake prodigy named Chisato Kubota as toji. The two travelled up and down Japan, knocking on the door of the master and seeking knowledge.
