Senkin Shuzo (Domaine Senkin) is the oldest “kura” (brewery) in Tochigi prefecture, dating to 1806. Two brothers, representing the 11th generation, have been responsible for giving a modern twist to traditional sake. Elder brother Kazuki Usui, a former wine sommelier, is applying his wine knowledge to refine the sake style at Senkin. He believes that sake can express terroir (local characteristics), like wine does.
