About
Richly aromatic, with a soft flavor that does not reveal its sake meter value (nihonshudo) The name comes from Ogaki Castle, the famed castle of the region, where Ishida Mitsunari, commander of the Western Army before the decisive Battle of Sekigahara, is said to have established his base and dreamed of ruling the country. The name also reflects the brewery's wish to keep making sake rooted in the local community of Ogaki.
