Founded in 1688, Fukurokuju Sake Brewery is one of the most historic breweries in Akita Prefecture. Their primary focus is on the handling of sake rice, the essential ingredient in their brews. Ten years ago, they established a sake rice research association with the goal of producing better rice. This initiative brings together contract farmers, agricultural experts, agricultural cooperatives, and local government officials to collaboratively improve sake rice cultivation. Driven by the desire to create sake that represents Gojome Town using rice grown in Gojome Town, Fukurokuju Sake Brewery crafts its products with dedication and pride.
