Yoshida Brewery and Gassan Sake

About Yoshida Brewery

关于吉田酒造

The origin of Yoshida Shuzo Brewery dates back to the Edo period in 1743, when the Yoshida family started brewing sake for the lord of the Hirose Domain. This brewery is situated in the mountainous region of Yasugi in the Shimane prefecture and is home to Toda Castle built on Mount Gassan (now in ruins). The brand name means "between the mountain and the moon," honoring the mountain the family had to climb to reach the castle and offer its best sake to the noble clan lord.

吉田酒造起源可以追溯到江户时代的1743年，当时吉田家族开始为著名的广濑氏族酿造清酒。酒造位于岛根县安市山区，是月山富田城(现在已成废墟)所在地。品牌名称的意思是“山和月亮之间”，用来纪念这座大山及家族必须爬到城堡，并向宗族首领提供最好的清酒这件事。

Yoshida Shuzo Sake is made from sake rice grown by a contract farmer in nearby Nishihida, and ultra-sweet water, one of the sweetest in Japan, designated as one of the 100 best waters in Shimane, highly valued by successive lords of the Hirose domain for the traditional tea ceremony.

吉田酒造的清酒是用西田附近的一个承包农民种植的清酒大米和超软水酿制而成，此处地岩涌出的超软水是日本最甜的水之一，为岛根县的100最佳水之一，在传统茶道中受到广濑家族历代领主的推崇。
