Brewing of this sake started with the suggestion of Masaharu Takizawa, the director of the movie \u201cGoze<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0 The biggest feature of this sake is that it is nigorizake<\/em> (cloudy sake) with drifting ori<\/em> (fine sediment). \u00a0It recalls the image of a snow scene in the movie.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The movie \u201cGoze<\/em>\u201d is a story about the life of the last goze<\/em>, Haru Kobayashi. Despite the fact that she was born blind, she honored her mother’s teachings and fulfilled her life as a goze<\/em> entertainer.<\/span><\/div>\r\n
Filmed in Joetsu City and Myoko City, this is a movie that is closely connected to the region, where citizens also appeared in the film as extras.<\/span><\/div>\r\n

Tetsuro Ikeda, the CEO of Chiyo no Hikari Sake Brewery, said, \u201cI thought of the snow scene that impressed me in the movie. \u00a0From the time the director first talked to me, I decided on the image of a white sake in a light blue bottle.\u00a0 I think we have made a sake of ultimate tenderness, like the ultimate love expressed by the goze<\/em> performers.”<\/p>\r\n

The Goze<\/em> sake is made from 100% Gohyaku Mangoku rice from Niigata Prefecture. The sake was just bottled in March of this year.\u00a0 At first, it was meant as a gift to those who donated toward the production costs of the movie. \u00a0Following that, after it was decided to release the movie in the Joetsu region, it was decided to sell this sake only locally.<\/p>\r\n
