Teaches compassion with every sip

This sake was made to commemorate legendary Hase Toji, who brewed here until his nineties and helped develop the Shizuoka style of fruity, dry sakes. Hase toji developed the yeast for this sake, HD1, which has since become an industry standard in producing the fruity, dry style that Shizuoka is known for.

Doi Brewing Company

The brewery’s brand Takatenjin is named after an old castle in Kakegawa, Shizuoka prefecture, which fell to the great Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1581. While the Doi family traces its roots back to this era, Doi Brewing Company itself was founded in 1872. Their other brand, Kaiun, means “to attract good fortune.” Luckily for them, the area gets so much sunshine year-round that the brewery is able to operate mostly by solar power. Shizuoka also has the most wasabi farms in Japan, and is famous for tea. Both are testaments to the pristine water that is the source for the brewery’s sake.
