笹一

The Story of 笹一酒造

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.
