Celebrating 150 years of history, our journey began in 1872 when Shibata Sake Brewery, our predecessor, became the first to produce sake in Sapporo. The nigori sake brewed at the time gained popularity among government officials, and within a few years, we began brewing refined sake, establishing ourselves as pioneers of Hokkaido’s sake industry. Committed to quality, we continued to grow and, in 1928, introduced the “Chitosetsuru” brand. Known for its smooth taste, crisp finish, and firm character, Chitosetsuru has become Sapporo’s signature local sake. Recognized nationwide, it has won the Gold Award at the National New Sake Appraisal for 14 consecutive years.
