“Best in the World! International Wine Challenge (IWC) Champion” Part 2
By Kosuke Kuji
Nanbu Bijin Tokubetsu Junmai uses Iwate prefecture original sake rice “Ginotome” produced by Ninohe city, Iwate. This “Ginotome” was developed by the agricultural team headed by Mr. Ryouichi Itsukaichi of Kindaichi, Ninohe from the period of experimental growing. Then we did experimental brewing at our company, had the rice certified as the original sake rice of Iwate prefecture, and have worked hard hand-in-hand together with the farmers. For the Tokubetsu Junmai that takes pride of the ultimate ‘terroir’ (meaning ‘land’ in French) to surely shine as the champion sake using the rice of Ninohe, clear water of Orizumebasenkyo in Ninohe, and brewed by a brewery in Ninohe has to be a miracle created by a small town of little over 28,000 people. It has been proved that …made in Iwate … made in Ninohe … is the world’s best.
We have achieved this wonderful prize, but this is not the end of our goal for Nanbu Bijin, this will be the start to polish our family precept of “Quality First” and achieve further development. We are placed in the responsible position of future Japanese sake and will work even harder than before to build an age for all Japan to try Japanese sake. We will not stop improving and work harder than ever to do better. I want to thank all the people that have been supporting us and report our victory of receiving the IWC Champion Sake Award.
“Cheers with Japanese Sake Around the World”
「世界一獲得！インターナショナルワインチャレンジ（IWC）チャンピオン」その２
南部美人特別純米酒は、岩手県二戸市産の岩手県オリジナル酒造好適米「ぎんおとめ」を使用しています。この「ぎんおとめ」は試験栽培の時代から、二戸市金田一の五日市亮一さんを筆頭とする農家のチームが育ててきました。そして試験醸造も当社で行い、岩手県のオリジナル酒造好適米に認定していただき、今まで農家の皆さんと二人三脚で頑張ってきました。その二戸の米で、二戸の折爪馬仙峡の清らかな伏流水で、二戸の南部杜氏が、二戸の酒蔵で醸した、究極のテロワールを誇る特別純米酒が見事チャンピオン酒に輝いたことは、まさに人口2万8000人ちょっとの小さなまちが起こした奇跡とも言えます。メイドイン岩手、メイドイン二戸の価値が世界一に認定されたのです。
まさに「小さなまちの大きな挑戦」の成果が出た瞬間でもありました。
ここまで素晴らしい賞をいただき、南部美人はここがゴールではなく、ここをスタートに家訓でもある「品質一筋」に磨きをかけ、さらなる進化を遂げなければいけません。日本酒の未来に責任を負う立場に立ち、世界へ日本酒の価値をさらに広め、日本中で日本酒が評価していただく時代を築くために、これからも今まで以上に頑張っていきたいと思います。歩みを止めず、今まで以上に前に進んでいきたいと思います。ここまで応援していただいた全ての皆さんに感謝を申し上げ、IWCチャンピオン酒受賞の報告とさせていただきます。
「世界中で、日本酒で乾杯！！！」
