Taiun Brewery is a new sake brewery founded in 2021 in Hikawa, Izumo City, after obtaining a license to produce sake specifically for export. Their flagship label, “Taichu 65,” is brewed using Taichu No.65, a variety of Japonica rice developed in Taiwan during the Japanese era. After five years of rice cultivation and test brewing across several breweries beginning in 2018, Taiun Brewery was officially established to produce this unique sake. Just as “Taichu 65” has become known as a Japanese–Taiwanese hybrid sake, the brewery itself was named Taiun Shuzo by taking one character each from Taiwan (台) and Izumo (雲). The name reflects their wish to serve as a bridge connecting Japan and Taiwan through sake.
