- Founded in 1894 in Ageo City, Saitama Prefecture. Ageo flourished as the fifth post town along the Nakasendo Road, counting from Nihonbashi in Edo, and has long been a place where people gathered to socialize over a cup of sake. Blessed with high-quality groundwater from the Chichibu Mountains, the area was once renowned as a premier sake-brewing region where numerous breweries stood side by side. The brewery’s founding brand is “Bunraku.” While it once focused primarily on brewing light, dry sake, the fifth-generation brewery owner, Ryuichiro Kitani, returned to the brewery and radically shifted the management strategy. After approximately five years of effort, he launched the new brand “Sairai” in 2020. “Sairai” was born after a complete overhaul of the brewing equipment, numerous trial brews, and a process of trial and error. It is characterized by a beautiful harmony of three elements: an elegant aroma, a fresh sweetness, and a sharp, crisp acidity. Furthermore, in 2021, the brewery rebranded its founding label, “Bunraku,” releasing “Bunraku Reborn” with the concept of “lemon-like acidity” as a new approach to reach audiences unfamiliar with sake. Currently, “Azumagura” is located adjacent to the brewery, serving as a venue where visitors can enjoy pairings of local ingredients, soba noodles, and sake. We hope that Kitaniishi Shuzo’s sake will inspire many people to visit Ageo, bringing people together and helping to build a future where the community becomes even more vibrant.
