Founded in 1720 (during the Edo Kyoho era), this brewery has been producing dry sake for a long time. The dry sake they have been committed to since their founding has been loved by locals as "Ota no Onikoroshi" (Ota's Demon Killer). The meaning of "Onikoroshi" is that it is a sake so dry that it can even defeat demons, and it also represents the removal of evil thoughts lurking within people. The label depicts Shoki, the god who wards off plagues, defeating a demon. When you want to vanquish the demons in your heart, or when you want to drink something to lift your spirits, please try toasting with "Onikoroshi".
