Founded in the late Edo period, in 1786 (Tenmei 6), during the reign of the 11th Shogun, Tokugawa Ienari, this brewery has a long history spanning nine generations. Originally a kimono merchant, the first-generation Hachiuemon Hashimoto acquired a sake brewery and began brewing sake. Since then, the brewery has preserved its traditions while continuing its legacy as a long-established sake producer.
