- 酒蔵について
- Tendo City in Yamagata Prefecture is known as the home of shogi pieces and hot springs. In 1892, the first-generation founder, Seijiro Nakano, named this sake “Dewa Sakura” in honor of the beautiful spring scenery of Mt. Maizuru—located at the heart of the city—when it is adorned with cherry blossoms in full bloom. Since our founding, we have been supported by the warm hospitality of the local community, abundant water, and high-quality rice—all gifts of our blessed natural environment. Pursuing “high quality, local focus, and fair prices,” and building on the overwhelming support of our local community, our sake is now enjoyed by people across Japan and in over 60 cities across 35 countries worldwide. Our dedication to sake brewing over the years has led us to be honored with the title of “pioneer of ginjo sake”—a recognition we consider humbling—yet our founding principles remain unchanged. Driven by the single-minded desire to “let as many people as possible discover the beauty of sake,” we remain committed to traditional, handcrafted methods while continuing to brew sake that resonates with the sensibilities of our time. Under the motto “Making Ginjo a Global Language,” we will continue to pioneer new possibilities for sake and pass this legacy on to the next generation.

The restaurant was founded in the Meiji Era (1868-1912) as "Unagiya" (eel shop), and has passed down the traditional taste of "broiled eel" from one generation to the next.
