Slaying with sweetness

This famous brand, called “Demon Slayer,” tastes nothing like its name, unless you can slay demons with sweetness. It is a clear Junmai Daiginjo with a delicate aroma of ripe fruits, velvety texture, and finishes on a sharp, crisp note. Its elegance makes it stand out as a delightful sake. Warm it up to broaden the already delicious aroma.

Omuraya Brewing Company

Wakatake, Wakatake “Onikoroshi,” “Onna Nakase” and “Oniotome” are all brands of Omuraya Brewing Company, which was founded in 1832. This historic brewery is located on the Tokaido Road, where merchants and travelers often stayed due to Oi River floods. They pay particular attention to using quality ingredients, like soft water from the Minami Alps. They also use their own rice milling machine from three generations ago. Having switched to producing all premium sake in 2002, and now in the seventh generation of ownership, they continue to please locals and visitors alike with their long-loved series.
