- 酒蔵について
- Located in "Naramachi," a district lined with traditional townhouses in the tourist city of Nara, Imanishi Seibei Shoten Co., Ltd. brews the "Harushika," "Hakuteki," and "Kamei" sake brands. Nara was established as the capital in 710, making it Japan’s first true capital city. It is a land surrounded by historical and cultural treasures such as the Great Buddha Hall of Tōdai-ji Temple, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, and Hōryū-ji Temple. Within this ancient capital’s unique atmosphere, Harushika has carried on the tradition of Nara sake since its founding in 1884. The name “Harushika” derives from Kasuga Taisha Shrine and the deer that serve as its divine messengers. What Harushika values most is carrying on the legacy of “Nanto Shiro,” which once earned a reputation for high-quality sake. Using highly polished rice, we pursue a sake profile that combines a light, mellow mouthfeel with both elegance and a clean finish. Guided by the philosophy of “polishing the rice, polishing the water, polishing the craft, and polishing the heart,” we remain sincerely committed to crafting high-quality sake, with a focus on dry varieties. Today, we export our sake to more than 10 countries worldwide, going beyond Japan’s borders, and we continue to build our legacy as a brewery that promotes Nara’s sake culture both domestically and internationally.

地元おすすめの飲食店
A local robatayaki restaurant that regularly stocks a wide selection of Harusika sake. The interior retains the atmosphere of a long-established establishment, with a rich ambiance that whets the appetite. While yakitori is a staple, they also offer seasonal delights like sanma in autumn and oden during the cold winter months, making it a popular spot to savor seasonal ingredients paired with fine sake.
This seafood restaurant, highly recommended for its fresh catches, is just a 5-minute walk from Kintetsu Nara Station, Nara's main station. It's also famous as a gathering spot for Nara's sake enthusiasts, boasting a dedicated sake menu featuring not only local Nara brews but also rare sakes from other prefectures. The five-piece sashimi platter offers generous, thick-cut slices of fresh fish, making it easy to keep ordering more sake. Why not pay them a visit?
Shunbo is a restaurant famous for its Yamato chicken dishes, located about a 3-minute walk from Kintetsu Nara Station. Their chicken sashimi platter is especially exquisite—it makes you want to keep drinking. The menu also features seasonal seafood and other items. Private rooms are available, and we've used theirs to celebrate winning gold medals at sake competitions. They offer a wide selection of Nara sake. We highly recommend visiting.
