EST. 1919
笹一
Since 1919 — 大月市, Yamanashi
An Otsuki brewery with roots in 1661, renamed Sasaichi in 1919 and drawing on Mt. Fuji's Gozensui spring.
Sasaichi's history begins in 1661 as Hanadaya, a miso, soy sauce and sake producer; the business took its current name, Sasaichi, in 1919. Located in Otsuki, once a post town below the Sasago Pass, the brewery uses Gozensui, spring water flowing off Mt. Fuji said to have once supplied tea ceremonies at Edo Castle. Since 2013, Sasaichi has shifted koji- and yeast-starter making back to traditional hand methods, adopting yamahai fermentation for a deeper, more complex umami.
Released in 2013; well-regarded at home and abroad as a food-pairing sake
Released in 2020; hand-crafted, balancing acidity and umami
