越乃寒梅
Since 1907 — 新潟市江南区, Niigata
The Niigata house whose refusal to cut corners during Japan's adulterated-sake years helped launch the 1970s jizake boom.
Ishimoto Shuzo was founded in 1907 in Kameda, on the outskirts of Niigata city, out of founder Ishimoto Ryuzo's simple wish to please the farmers who worked the surrounding fields. During and after the war, when much of the industry turned to heavily adulterated 'triple-brewed' sake to stretch supplies, Ishimoto kept to honest brewing methods. That stance made Koshinokanbai an early standard-bearer for tanrei karakuchi — Niigata's clean, dry style — and helped ignite the nationwide jizake (local sake) boom of the 1970s.
