hiroemon takeda

For more than 2,000 years, Sake has been an integral part of Japanese culture and the Toji (Master Brewer) has been revered as both a master craftsman and artist on a par with poets and musicians.

More than 200 years ago, inspired by a love of Japanese Sake and his devotion to his feudal lord Naito San, Hiroemon Takeda, renowned Samurai and Japanese Sake connoisseur, aspired to create a Japanese Sake recipe that would be received as a work of art and would serve as his legacy for all time. Working together with the most skilled Toji, he combined the finest rice produced in his own fields with artesian water to produce a truly exceptional Japanese Sake recipe that has survived the test of time.

It was the story of Hiroemon Takeda that inspired us to create Hiro Sake with the same love and devotion.
