This historical brewery is located in Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture, at the foot of Makihata Mountain, one of Japan's 100 most famous mountains at an elevation of 1967 meters. The area is also known for its heavy snowfall due to its location at the foot of high mountains and is rich in subterranean water, which is filtered after decades of snowmelt. In recent years, the brewery has been focusing on the rare sake rice "Ipponshime," cultivating it in-house and under contract from seed production to cultivation and milling the rice in-house.
