"Beyond the past, imagine and create the future"
When we say about the sake aiming at "fine quality countryside" through sake brewing, it gives us a nuance of "old, legacy, and tradition".
However, the people who love sake and sake brewers live in the present. Kinoene-Masamune is a sake with a history of more than 300 years, but it is not possible to engrave the years as it was brewed as our ancestor did. Now, as a brewery, we are conscious of "beyond the past, imagine and create the future."
We have pride that Kinoene-Masamune is a sake that goes ahead of the era. We are making sake with a high goal in terms of quality, taste, and focus on the next. Sake is not to be independently tasted, but must always be compatible with food.
Of course, we strive to make sake of "marriage" with Japanese food which became the world's intangible cultural heritage. So, you will find that Kinoene-Masamune is delicious to drink while eating.
And now, I want young people to drink and understand sake.
We believe that there is no future if it is not loved by the people who lead the next generation.
Therefore, we delegated the brewery to young brewers, and arranged the environment so that they can compete on quality and brew the sake with a focus on the younger generation. As a result, we can now introduce a high-valued sake to the market.
What I envision is to realize "fine quality countryside" through sake brewing. "Fine quality" includes the meanings of "always running the cutting edge". In the land of Shisui, Chiba, we would like to develop and provide not only sake, but also the pleasure of sake and associated activities, and its side dishes.
In the 21st century, it is important to continuously propose "something interesting and exciting" including sake, and to introduce "something sophisticated, stylish, and contemporary" to keep fine quality. We are always thinking about how to promote widely the name of the Shisui in Chiba, and the brand, Kinoene-Masamune.
We continue to propose elegant and graceful time to our customers through sake.
