Turning gratitude into flavor.
Saké is a living thing, and making it is an act of creation and birth. We recognize the awe of the ancients at the seemingly divine mystery of fermentation which has made saké essential to sacred rituals. We must therefore be grateful that, gods though we are not, we have been given the privilege of working every day to create something so special. We believe that gratitude towards everyone and everything that makes this work possible is essential. Gratitude to the famers who grow the rice; to the natural environment that brings us clean water; to the microorganisms that help us in our work; to the local community that maintains this environment and economy, including our distributors, and our sales partners; to our coworkers who strive and sweat beside us; and of course to everyone who drinks and enjoys our saké. All of us here at Yaoshin Shuzo hope we can bring that feeling of gratitude to our saké, so that every sip carries the flavor of our thanks to you all.
