Yutaka Furusawa is a classically trained Echigo Guild toji. His style is clean, dry on the finish, with a robust core. Everything in the brewery is old, recalling the era when Matsunoi produced bulk sake under contract for big breweries, or a decade ago when his late brother was toji, and Matsunoi drew accolades for a string of national competition trophies. A melancholy lingers behind the sense of humor and duty.
