In 1842, we began brewing sake in Fushimi, Kyoto, and in 1920 we acquired the brand name “Sho Chiku Bai,” which means “Pine, Bamboo and Ume Plum,” an auspicious motif in Japanese culture. Since then, Sho Chiku Bai sake varieties have been loved as sake for celebrations. We offer a wide lineup of sake with different flavors from our breweries in Nada and Fushimi, both of which are representative sake production centers in Japan.
Our commitment to making products in a good combination of excellent alcohol and high-quality ingredients
We produce liqueurs and Chu-Hi by infusing carefully selected popular fruits or other ingredients from designated production areas in Japan with different kinds of alcoholic beverages that nicely match each of those ingredients. Our liqueurs and Chu-Hi offer you the rich aromas and flavors of fruits or other ingredients, taking full advantage of their distinctive characteristics.
Leveraging our long-developed distilling technique, we provide a wide variety of shochu with different flavors, including Ko-type (multiply distilled) shochu, which features a light mouthfeel and a mild aroma, and honkaku (singly distilled) shochu, which is characterized by the natural aroma and flavor of the ingredient.
The secret to delicious dishes is the umami added by sake and mirin. Our sake-based seasonings—Takara Hon-mirin and Takara Ryori no Tame no Seishu—make your dishes more delicious.
Crafted at Kurokabegura, a distinguished shochu distillery renowned for its mastery of distillation, blending, and aging techniques honed over decades, this "NEW MAKE" spirit embodies the essence of traditional craftsmanship.
