静岡の食文化との調和

蔵を構える静岡県は日本のほぼ中央に位置し、南側には太平洋に面した約500kmの海外線を有し、北側には3,000m級の山々が連なります。中でも標高3,776mの富士山と水深が2,500mの駿河湾は共に日本一を誇り、この豊かな自然の恩恵を受けて育まれた多彩な海と里の食材が静岡の食文化を発展させました。こうした背景から、当蔵は「静岡のヒト・食文化との調和」を第一に考え、丁寧な手仕事と感謝の心で酒を醸しています。甘さと酸味は控えめで、爽やかで品のある香りをまとい、口当たりは軽やかで酒米由来の程よい旨味が口の中で広がります。初亀が理想とする「静岡型」のクラシックな日本酒の世界観を、ぜひ四季折々の御料理と共にご堪能下さいませ。

In Harmony with Shizuoka’s Food Culture

Shizuoka Prefecture, where the brewery is located, sits roughly in the center of Japan with a 500 km-long coastline facing the Pacific Ocean to the south and a range of 3,000m class mountains to the north. It is home to the 3,776m high Mt.Fuji and 2,500m deep Suruga Bay, both boasting the highest records in Japan. This rich natural paradise nurtures a veritable bounty of seafood and local delicacies that have helped develop Shizuoka’s food culture. As a brewery surrounded by such beauty, we focus on maintaining harmony with the local people and food culture and brew with meticulous care and gratitude for our surroundings. Hatsukame is the brewery’s expression of the ideal Shizuoka-style classic sake: a light, elegant aroma, moderate sweetness and acidity, soft texture, and a pleasant spread of umami mid-palate. Pair with different seasonal dishes for a multidimensional taste experience of the world of classic Shizuoka sake.
