Shirakabegura

Shirakabegura spares no expense to bring you premium sake that draws out the natural flavor of rice. Owned by Takara Brewing Company based in Kyoto, their cutting-edge facilities were completed in 2001. Nadagogo, where they are located in the port city of Kobe, has Geographical Indication and is historically famous for their water source, whose mineral content enables robust fermentation. They hold the longest gold medal streak in the history of the Annual Japan Sake Awards, and are makers of some exquisite, traditionally made sake in addition to the sensational Shirakabegura “Mio” which debuted in 2011.
