～From Ninohe to Iwate, and beyond to the entire country and the world～

Founded in 1902, this brewery is committed to crafting handmade sake that reflects the local climate and culture. It has also developed a special junmai sake using local Gin-otome sake rice. Five generations of the Kuji family have upheld the family motto left behind by the first generation of “Quality above all,” striving to achieve the ultimate in beauty with the traditional skills and spirit of the Nanbu Toji chief brewer. In 2022, the brewery celebrated its 120th anniversary.
