In 1820, Ginzaemon Kita established our brewery on the Koto plain in Ohmi. Ginzaemon procured Ohmi-brand rice from nearby farmers, crafted sake, and engaged in local commerce. Initially, our brand was known as “Temmaya.” Over two centuries, the Kita family has upheld the tradition of sake brewing. Our current brand name, “Kirakucho,” conveys our wish for customers to savor our sake and lead long, fulfilling lives.
