    "This sake brewery was founded in 1818. They are famous in Japan for being the first to make modern junmai sake and kicking off the nationwide boom. Their motto is ""Quality comes first,"" and they avoid following modernization and trends to focus on old fashioned methods to make the best sake they can. The story of how President Jimmy Carter praised their junmai on leaving Tokyo after his 1979 visit to Japan is still known today. In recent years, they have been working with farmers in designated areas to grow organic sake rice. They strive to create sake that evokes not only their care for rice, but the water and the local community as well."
