Our goal is to make the best sake, free of impurities, to elevate sake and place it amongst world-class categories comparable to wine and champagne. It is with this passion that the "uka" project began. Among the 600 varieties of sake brewed by Meiri Sake Brewery, we chose the brewing method that we thought tasted the best. The method is rather difficult to mass-produce; thus, the maximum number of bottles we make available is around 20. Until then, we only used this process for sake competitions. Choosing authenticity rather than quantity, we continued our research to improve the technique of the "Shizuku-shibori" method. We decided to construct original tanks and make cloth for the new process. This method demands only top-quality rice and is then brewed for over two months. Allowing the drops of sake to fall like rain, so when we discovered this new approach, we named it the "Shizuku-otoshi," meaning "dropping the drops of sake" in Japanese. The final process of "Shizuku-otoshi" reduces the product to less than half its original volume, and only then are the lots with beautiful aroma and flavor bottled as "uka." We hope that our sake, filled with the history, technology, and passion of Meiri Sake Brewery since the Edo period, will accompany you in your special moments.
