About
A fruity, fragrant sake with a Tanrei (light, delicate) taste. The name comes from Ogaki Castle (Ogakijo), the famous local castle where Ishida Mitsunari, commander of the Western Army, is said to have set up his base and dreamed of ruling the realm before the Battle of Sekigahara, the decisive battle for control of the country. It also expresses the brewery's wish to keep making sake rooted in Ogaki, its home community.
