Furosen Omachi 2025

The current Kuramoto [Brewery Owner] is Isao Uehara and he is the the 7th-generation of his family to own & operate Uehara Shuzo, founded in 1862. Located on the north-western shore of Lake Biwa in Takashima, where the streets are lined with canals carrying fresh spring water, Uehara Shuzo uses this famously pure water to brew its Sake.

Omachi is a pure rice strain that produces very distinctive sake. The Furosen Omachi is made with rice polished to 55%. A wonderful expression of Omachi, soft, fruit-driven with excellent depth and a fine acidic finish.

Producer Profile

Uehara Shuzo

Shiga prefecture is in the centre of the Japanese Archipelago and is known as ‘Lake Country’ due to one-sixth of it’s total area being Japan’s largest lake, the beautiful Lake Biwa. Lake Biwa is 670 km2, which means that it is bigger than the famous Awaji Island [which is about the same size of Singapore, and has a population of over 150,000 people]. Lake Biwa is surrounded by very fertile plains and beautiful mountain ranges and two of it’s most well known neighbours are the prefectures of Kyōto and Nara.
