Description
Hirako Shuzo is located in Ishinomaki, a port town at the mouth of the former Kitakami River in the Miyagi Prefecture. This area is home to one of the top three fishing grounds in the world, Sanriku Kinkazan. This leads to abundant seafood catches each season and in the local cuisine. As a result, Hirako Shuzo’s Hitakami sake pairs very well with fish and seafood. The soft, transparent, and crisp aftertaste of Hitakami sake brings out the flavor of seafood but also cleanses the oiliness in fish away. “If you’re going to have fish, have it with Hitakami!” is the theme that they create their sake around. The name "Hitakami" comes from the old name "Hitakamigawa", which refers to the current Kitakami River.
