Moriya Sake Brewery

Sake is brewed with 100% rice produced in Chiba prefecture at a local sake brewery located in the center of Kujukuri, Chiba prefecture. It is popular mainly for raw sake, which is in the original state of the brewery, and many people visit the brewery directly. On the other hand, you can also enjoy dry pure rice sake that has been aged for a long time using rice produced in Chiba prefecture. The brewery is actively brewing sake from local rice based on the idea that “local sake is brewed by local rice, local water, and local climate, and fosters local humanity.”

Tohei Shuzo Brewery

The brewery was founded in 1716. Generation after generation, we have brewed sake in Chiba’s Kururi, carving out a piece of history for ourselves. It was our predecessor, Tohei Tomio, who conceived of the Fukuiwai brand. Now, having inherited the legacy from their deceased predecessor, we produce each and every bottle with great care, and take pride in our products’ flavor, which cannot be matched by mass production. We continue to protect the essence of the craft. The brewery’s Fukuiwai sake is produced in the town of Kururi in the Chiba-Kasuza region. Carefully selected rice and ‘Kurusi no Meisui’ spring water, which has been locally adored since ancient times. It is carefully prepared, as we aim for a liquor that we believe is truly delicious.

Kido Izumi Sake Brewery

We have been brewing sake in this region since 1879. Taking the house name “KIDO” and combining it with the character for the fountain “IZUMI,” symbolizing sake, the brand name “KIDOIZUMI” was created. Since then, we have been determinedly continuing this tradition of natural brewing for over 60 years. With the motto of delectably splendid sake, we will continue to offer refreshingly balanced sake with deeply clear flavor that pairs well with any meal. Brewing sake continually brings us challenges year after year. We will continue to pursue further possibilities and developments as well as move forward with the people, water, and rice with which we are associated.

Nabedana Brewery

Our ancestors have started brewing sake in Narita by Naritasan Temple more than 320 years ago in Edo period. The brewing license, at first, was given by a local lord, and the Narita brewery was the only production facility site for the first 200 years of our history. As brewing business went on and well, we were able to expand the business by acquiring other production facilities. One of them was this Kouzaki brewery, acquired in 1897. Later we maintained four production sites at one time including the one in Kobe, but unfortunately, in the beginning of World War II, due to the severe rice shortage, we were forced to choose one production site and close the others. Consequently we chose Kouzaki. The reasons were that Kouzaki site was the biggest in terms of square, had a relatively better access to rice at the time, and had abundant water in good quality, all compared to others. Since then, we have been brewing JINYU, our main brand, for the last few decades at the Kouzaki brewery. We have made brewing the finest sake a family tradition for more than 3 centuries. Our brewing motto, “never compromise” has been passed on to more than 19 generations.

Takizawa Honten Brewery

Since the Edo period, Naritasan has been a popular sacred place in the Kanto region, and when the railway was laid and the Keisei Electric Railway opened, it became even more lively, and many restaurants and inns became extremely crowded. We opened a liquor store at the current location where we were standing and started brewing sake using high-quality rice from the local area as a raw material. Shortly after that, the reputation that the well water of our sake brewery was very delicious and good water became widespread, and more and more people stopped by at the time of their visit to draw the water from the well, we then named the sake brewed by our company with the meaning of “longevity spiritual power sake”.
