酒蔵について

Located in Kanayama-cho, Gero City, at the heart of Gifu Prefecture, we have operated our sake brewery since the 5th year of the Kyoho era (1720). Thanks to our customers, we are celebrating our 300th anniversary. We brew our sake using the pure underground water unique to the confluence of the clear-flowing Hida River and Mase River. Centered around our founding brands "Hatsumidori" and "Okuhida"—names bestowed by the Owari feudal lord to signify "sake from a mountain village surrounded by water and greenery"—we honor tradition while striving daily to broaden the appeal of Japanese sake. We challenge ourselves to craft a diverse range of sakes, including fruity nigori sakes and low-alcohol varieties. Using carefully selected ingredients, primarily the locally grown Gifu Prefecture sake rice "Hida Homare," our master brewer Katsunobu Goto meticulously crafts our sake without sparing effort. Our sake, brewed using traditional, labor-intensive methods—including partially employing the lid koji method for koji rice production—has won numerous awards. The three sisters who run the brewery strive to share the appeal of sake and spread its value both domestically and internationally, each contributing their unique sensibilities.
