About
Masuichi-Ichimura Sake Brewery has been known since the Edo period by the abbreviation "Masuichi." The name of this junmai sake, Square One, was created by rendering the abbreviation "〼一" that represents "Masuichi" in English. The name Square One also carries the meaning of "origin" or "back to the starting point," and it reflects a heartfelt wish to honor the origins of sake brewing. Steadfastly adhering to traditional production methods, this sake is finished as a robust, firmly structured dry sake.
