Founded in 1907 in Nakagawa Village, Okusa, located on the eastern bank of the Tenryu River in the heart of the Minami-Shinsyu Ina Valley, this brewery is blessed with an exceptional water source from the subterranean waters of the Southern Alps. Yonezawa Sake Brewery places a strong emphasis on using locally grown rice and follows traditional sake-making methods, such as using sake bags for the gentle pressing of the sake. By merging these traditional practices with modern techniques, they craft a sake that embodies both meticulous craftsmanship and precision.
