About

Oze National Park spans four prefectures: Gunma, Fukushima, Tochigi, and Niigata. Boardwalks (mokudo) cross the famous Oze-ga-hara marshland. These boardwalks are not walked by tourists alone. Bokka (porters) carry loads on their backs to the mountain huts, bringing the supplies that people there depend on. Where the footsteps of those who love Oze and live alongside it overlap, this is a place of many lives. Yet these beautiful boardwalks wear down over time, and they can pose a danger to the porters' footing. Out of a simple wish to protect the Oze boardwalks, the porters launched the Oze Boardwalk Restoration Project. The project aims to repair damaged sections and create new paths that people can walk on with confidence. The sake is made with rice grown in Gunma Prefecture, using the traditional Kimoto (traditional yeast-starter method) brewing method. Its flavor, however, is not complex. It is characterized by a gentle, pleasant sweetness and a light, airy quality. It is designed so that even people new to sake, who may not know much about it but are interested in this project, can enjoy it. The label features an illustration that drew support in a crowdfunding campaign last year, making the bottle approachable even for those unfamiliar with sake. With a balance of pleasant sweetness and lightness, it is a sake that people unfamiliar with sake can enjoy. Please give it a try.
