人気酒造は福島県の二本松市に位置します。
東は阿武隈山、西は安達太良山に囲まれ、その山からしたたる雪解け水を仕込み水として使い、人気一のお酒は品質の高い、奇麗な酒質で知られています。
遊佐さんはこの蔵を引き継ぐ19代目。彼が最もこだわり、そして誇りとしているのが地元で穫れる酒米にこだわり、そして吟醸以下の酒は作りません。
そして彼が目指す酒、”良い酒” の示す本当の意味。
それはあくまでも食事の邪魔をしない、むしろ食事を引き立てる良い脇役であると言う事です。そして、毎日少しずつ飲んでも飲み飽きない味。
人気一の商品は、飲み疲れするような重さの酒質と言うよりは、バランスの良い、“良い加減”の酒なのです。商品のバラエティーも豊富で、スパークリング酒から焼酎までと幅広く、そして”こだわりは人一倍”なのです。
人気一は決して大きな蔵ではありません。
そして造りはあくまでも昔ながらと今を程よく調和させた、手造りにこだわっています。
人気一の名前の由来は、その名の通り「人気」。しかし、遊佐さんがおっしゃるには、人が気を混めて醸すと言う意味もあるとか。そして、一は、蔵人皆が目指す酒、一番になる事。
さてこの人気一、現在日本国外ではロンドンのZumaレストランでのみ、お楽しみいただけます。
品揃えはこちら。
人気一 黄 旨辛口
人気一 黒 純米吟醸
人気一 ゴールド 純米大吟醸
