Michisakari: One of the Most Famous Dry Karakuchi Sakes

About Michisakari Brewery

三千盛酒造

In the middle of the Edo period, at the beginning of the An'ei era (1772), Tetsuji Mizuno opened a sake brewery in what is now Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture. At first, the brewery was named Maruo, which was later changed to Kogane. In 1926, Michisakari was chosen; it means "flourishing for three thousand years."

江户时代中期，安永年间初期(1772年)，水野鉄治(Tetsuji Mizuno)在现在的岐阜县多治见市开了一家清酒酿酒厂。起初，酒厂命名为丸岡，后来更名为小金。1926年，三千盛被选中;意思是“兴盛三千年”。

In the post-war era, when the trend in Japan was for sweeter sake, Michisakari took the challenge to brew dry sake, but not without a series of hardships. There were voices inside and outside the company saying that the sake won't sell well, if it's not sweet. However, even in the midst of this, there were people who encouraged the brewery not to change the current taste. Encouraged by those people, they were able to continue their efforts to make a dry sake that was soft to the palate and easy to drink.

战后，日本流行更甜的清酒，于是三千盛开始挑战酿造干清酒，但也经历了一系列艰辛。公司内外都有声音说，如果清酒不甜，就不会卖得好。然而，即使在这种情况下，也有人鼓励酒厂不要改变目前的口味。在这些人的鼓励下，他们得以继续努力，制作出口感柔软、易于饮用的干清酒。

Michisakari's dry sake was also popularised by a famous novelist (awarded the Order of Culture by the Japanese government), Tatsuo Nagai, who happened upon Michisakari by chance. He fell in love with the clear, dry flavour and recommended it to many acquaintances, and soon it was in restaurants and sushi bars all over Japan.

一位著名的小说家(日本政府文化勋章3授予zhe)永井达夫偶然发现了三千盛，他也使其干清酒变得流行起来。他爱上了这种清澈干爽的味道，并向许多熟人推荐了它，很快，日本各地的餐馆和寿司店都开始销售了。
