Nakamura Sake Brewery

The brewery is a small brewery located in the castle town of Hagi, the birthplace of the Meiji Restoration. It was founded in 1855 by Mori Takachika. Since ancient times, ice-goby fishing by the four-handed net, which is also the tradition of Hagi, has been actively practiced around spring, and fishing will reach its peak by the time the new sake is ready. The sake “Treasure Ship” embodies the feeling of wishing for happiness and prosperity, with the feeling of people celebrating and rejoicing the ship that returned with the ice goby of the big catch.

Okazaki Sake Brewery

The brewery was founded near the scenic spot “Chomonkyo” but moved to the present location upstream of Hagi City due to the construction of the Abugawa Dam in 1970. We are struggling day and night for better sake brewing in the clear stream of the Abu River. Our sake has won numerous awards for the past years. We aim to produce high-quality sake that is blessed with water quality and that you will not get tired of drinking the taste of rice.

Sakai Sake Brewery

In 1871, we set up a warehouse in Iwakuni city that blessed with underground soft water from the Nishiki River. The traditional sake brewing technology will be supplemented in a better way by the latest brewing technology using computers and mechanical equipment to improve the quality of sake. We are aiming for a synergistic effect of low technology (traditional sake brewing technology) and high technology (latest machinery and equipment). We have been working on the production of low-malt beer pure rice sake, which is said to be difficult to produce, from an early stage, and have succeeded in producing it for the first time in the Chugoku-Shikoku / Kyushu area.

Brewery Info

The founder of Yaoshin repurposed the former rice and washi-paper storehouse (Imazu Teahouse) into a sake brewery. The teahouse’s primary facility for serving as a docking station was the gangi. A gangi is like a set of stone steps leading down into the water serving as a pier or quay connecting the river and the land, where boats could dock. At our founding, this gangi was used to unload rice that came down the Nishiki river by boat for use in sake making. We recognize the awe of the ancients at the seemingly divine mystery of fermentation which has made sake essential to sacred rituals.
