都錦
Since 1884 — 江津市, Shimane
A philosophy-driven Gotsu kura that named its own concept, 'nokoshu,' treating each batch's natural fermentation variance as character rather than flaw.
Tonishiki Shuzo was founded in 1884 in Gotsu, Shimane, where it makes the Miyakonishiki brand. The kura champions a concept it calls 'nokoshu' (agricultural-fermentation sake), brewing naturally farmed Shimane rice and leaning into the natural variation of fermentation as part of each batch's character rather than something to control away. Its three core lines — sign50, sign70 and sign88 — trace a spectrum of flavor through differing rice-polishing ratios.
Junmai Ginjo — polished to 50%, Shimane rice, 16% ABV, sweet and fruit-forward
Tokubetsu Junmai — polished to 70%, Shimane rice, 16% ABV, dry and herbal
Junmai — polished to 88%, Shimane rice, 16% ABV, bone-dry with an earthy character
