- ~Bringing Smiles to People Around the World Through Sake Brewing~ Founded in 1636 under the trade name “Asanaya,” this is Shizuoka’s oldest sake brewery. Its flagship brand, “Hatsukame,” was named with the hope that it would “shine like the first sunrise of the year and prosper for generations, like a turtle.” Our brewery is located in Okabe-cho, Fujieda City—a beautiful and tranquil rural area counted among the three major production regions for gyokuro tea. The clear Asahina River, which originates in the Southern Alps, flows through the area, and bamboo groves and tea fields spread across the mountain slopes. We use carefully selected sake rice, centered on “Tojo Yamada Nishiki”—renowned as the pinnacle of sake rice—and “Reiwa Homare Fuji,” Shizuoka Prefecture’s original sake-brewing rice. We then undergo a slow, low-temperature fermentation using underground spring water from the Southern Alps that wells up at our brewery and handmade koji. It is imbued with a ginjo aroma reminiscent of ripe tropical fruits. Light on the palate, the natural sweetness derived from the sake rice spreads across the mouth, finishing cleanly with a well-balanced, lingering aftertaste. Prioritizing harmony with Shizuoka’s culinary culture, we are committed to pursuing a flavor that can only be expressed in this region.
