Michisakari(Tajimi)

Brewery

Dry sake brewing inherited from the previous generation

Founded in the An’ei era (1771), Michimori has a 240-year history with a brewery in Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture, where they brew sake every day in pursuit of the ideal sake. Since the 1960s, the brewery has specialized in dry sake, and has stubbornly maintained its taste and brewing policy despite any changes in tastes. They are not only particular about dryness, but also in the brewing process, increasing the rice polishing ratio, and polishing all of their sake to the same level as ginjo and daiginjo, resulting in sake with a clear mouthfeel and a clean, sharp aftertaste that goes down easy.

Brewing

A clear, pure spiciness brewed without impurities

The ideal sake that the brewer has inherited from his predecessor is “sake with a clear, dry taste.” Not only is it fermented for a long period at low temperatures, but it is also made using carefully selected rice suitable for sake brewing, such as Miyamanishiki, which is highly polished to remove impurities, resulting in a light, sharp, dry taste with just the right amount of acidity, firmness, and fullness, as well as a well-balanced flavor. This taste is one of the major characteristics of Sanzenmori, which is brewed with a focus on dryness and will delight the palates of dry sake lovers.

“Mizukuchi” sake

A sake that you can drink as easily as water and enjoy the delicious flavor of sake.

One critic who tried “Sanzenmori” described it as more of a “Mizukuchi(Drinkable like water)” sake than a dry one, while another said it was like a hazy sake, the kind of sake a sage would drink. I believe that the best sake is one that can be drunk as much as you like without resistance, yet has the unique deliciousness of sake, and is easy to sober up with. Once you remove the unnecessary flavors, I think that in the end, only the unique deliciousness of sake remains. “Mizukuchi” sake goes well with sashimi, eel, tempura, and anything else, and enhances the flavor of those dishes.
