Komejo.
That is our family name, handed down for eleven generations, and our pledge to rice itself.
The reason we continue to cultivate rice lies in the soil of Meiwa Town, Taki District.
With the rich soil of the Ise Plain and the blessed waters of the crystal-clear Miyagawa River, which has been recognized as having Japan's best water quality, we meticulously cultivate each grain of rice using the wisdom and techniques refined by eleven generations of farmers.
This is exquisite rice, so good it could be a star in its own right.
It is thanks to this superb ingredient that we were able to take the first step into a new sake brewing venture.
The finest rice deserves the finest stage.
We have always believed that cultivating the finest rice is our mission as a farming family spanning eleven generations. The foundation of this proud history rests on the presence of our grandmother, who, even at 96 years old, continues to watch over us.
Until the age of 90, our grandmother stood in those fields, embodying the wisdom and love accumulated over eleven generations.
Her beloved back is the very history we inherited and must carry into the future.
One day, we asked ourselves, "Can we not convey the charm of this proud rice, inherited from our grandmother, in a deeper, more novel way?"
From this question arose "brewing eating rice," a challenge a step beyond.
We decided that we wanted to eternally encapsulate the eleven generations of history, along with our grandmother's deep love and wisdom for rice, within a bottle.
Our journey as "creators," transcending the boundaries of farmers, now begins.
We express this resolve, which encompasses eleven generations of history and future, and our gratitude and respect for our grandmother, in the form of sake.
A farmer's dream, realized through 300 years of history.
The challenge of transforming the finest table rice into sake was extremely difficult. Unlike typical sake rice, table rice is hard and dissolves poorly, requiring delicate and complex techniques to achieve both the ideal clarity and depth.
Our encounter with Iinuma Honke, a venerable sake brewery in Chiba with a 300-year history, provided the solution to this formidable challenge.
We were deeply impressed by Iinuma Honke's "spirit of exploring new possibilities" and their "outstanding technical prowess, backed by tradition."
When the profound knowledge of eleven generations concerning rice merged with 300 years of deep brewing expertise, the hard table rice was transformed into sake with a silky smoothness.
Thus, KOME JO was perfected.
This bottle embodies the pride of eleven generations, born from the soil of history and crafted by passion that looks a step ahead.
