Innovation exists in the tradition of Maruse,
and tradition lives in the innovation of WAZU
The essence of sake is like no other, transcending time and borders. WAZU is a fusion of a new sensibility and Maruse Sake Brewery's techniques, nurtured in the harsh cold and bountiful blessings of northern Shinano. The wisdom of sake brewing passed down since ancient times and the spirit of innovation that will continue have all come to fruition here.
This low-polished rice, which has a sweet taste derived from glutinous rice that cannot be found anywhere else and which pursues the umami and aroma, retains the earth's energy. This choice, which goes against modern trends, was born from Maruse Sake Brewery and WAZU's unwavering belief in protecting rice's original rich flavour and soul.
The uncompromising attitude of unfiltered, non-pasteurised, undiluted sake and the generosity to accept everything rather than removing the surface of rice too much are from the ideas of coexistence with nature that the Japanese have cherished since ancient times. Having a sip, you first feel its dignified presence, followed by a wave of sweetness and then a crisp aftertaste.
WAZU is not an ordinary sake brand.
It is a new form of experience, a journey that profoundly burns into your heart.
From the hands of the brewers at Maruse Sake Brewery to the world. A drop of soul born from the union of tradition and innovation.
