Tokun Sake Brewery – Best Sake Breweries in Japan

Tokun Sake Brewery

The brewery was established in Shimousa Sawara in 1825 when Edo culture was prospering. Ino Tadataka is a legendary figure known for completing the first map of Japan. The Ino family was the well-known owner of a sake brewing business in Sawara. The founder of Tokun Sake Brewery is said to have apprenticed under the Ino family, and from them learned about the sake trade and worked to expand the business. Under the ideal conditions for sake brewing in Sawara, including convenient ship transport along the Tone River and early yield of quality rice, the brewery has proudly carried on the history and tradition of sake brewing for 190 years.

Chiba Sake Breweries

Chiba prefecture is a prefecture of Japan located in the Kanto region of Honshu. It borders Ibaraki Prefecture to the north, Saitama Prefecture to the northwest and Tokyo to the south. The sake manufacturing industry in Chiba Prefecture has a long history, and it is said that one was founded during the Kanei era (1624-1643) and three during the Genroku era (1688-1703). There was nothing to be founded in the meantime, and it increased sharply from the first year of Ansei (1854) at the end of Tokugawa. During the Genroku era, the Shogunate adopted a liquor store transportation system (liquor tax system), and sake brewing as a company also flourished in the land of Boso (Awa, Kazusa, Shimosa).
