- 酒蔵について
- Since its founding in 1912, Yoshikawa Brewery has been brewing sake in Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Mount Tanzawa-Oyama, which looms behind the brewery, has long been revered as an object of worship in rain-praying rituals and is affectionately known by its alternative name, “Afuri-yama” (Rain-Falling Mountain). The underground water, filtered over many years through the mountain’s geological strata, is a hard water with a hardness of 150 to 160—a rarity in Japan. We draw this pure, crisp water from three wells on our premises, making it the foundation of our sake brewing. Although we faced the threat of closure during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have embarked on a new chapter as part of the Shimada Group, which has its roots in rice polishing. In 2021, we launched our new brand, “Afuri.” We are exploring the possibilities of sake beyond conventional boundaries, such as low-polished sake that allows you to taste the raw vitality of the rice, and experiments that fuse traditional “moto” (yeast starter) with modern technology. Our theme is "Sake for Life's Sake." We aim to deliver a drop of sake that goes beyond being a mere luxury item to deeply enrich the daily lives and journeys of people around the world. Cherishing the bountiful blessings of Mount Afuri and our spirit of relentless dedication, Yoshikawa Brewery will continue to brew fine sake with sincerity.
