Founded in 1871, our brewery was established in a region blessed with the soft underground waters of the Nishikigawa River. The name 'Gokyo' was inspired by the graceful five-arched Kintai Bridge, symbolizing our desire to create a bridge between people through sake. With the refined senses and dedication of our brewers, we have earned the support of sake lovers not only in Yamaguchi Prefecture but across Japan. Gokyo sake is characterized by its soft, aromatic profile, a hallmark of brewing with pristine soft water.
