The Shiraki Brewery is located in Gifu City, which stands close to the center of Japan.
Near our brewery, there is a beautiful river called the Nagara-gawa, which surrounding environment is rich in nature.
Our brewery was founded in 1835.
Approximately one hundred years ago, our brewery was severely damaged from the Nohi-earthquake.
Although it was a struggle to overcome the damages, when we finally did, we decided to name our product “DARUMA-MASAMUNE”.
This was because the word “DARUMA” (Dharma doll) has a meaning deriving from the shape of the doll, “Although it falls over, it always rises”"
This long aged sake has a pronounced umami and oxdative characters with its beautiful golden colour. Full flavours of dried fruits, toasted cereal, carameled almonds and a long complex finish. .
