“We want to dedicate ourselves to sake brewing with pride as a sake from Fukui.”
Since 1899, we have been brewing sake in Eiheiji Town, located about 30 minutes by car from the center of Fukui City, near the Sōtō Zen sect's head temple, Eiheiji. The town is home to the Kuzuryū River, which originates from the sacred peak of Hakusan, a symbol of the “town of clear streams.” In the summer, it is bustling with ayu fishing, and in the winter, it is lively with cherry salmon fishing. Historically, sake brewing was promoted as an industry by the Matsuoka Domain, and the town flourished as one of the most renowned sake-producing regions in the prefecture, boasting 17 breweries. We produce approximately 300 koku of sake annually. Utilizing traditional wooden steaming pots for rice steaming, all mash is pressed using the “sōsaku” method. We focus on "ginjo brewing," making use of the soft underground water from the Kuzuryū River, aiming to highlight the gentle mouthfeel and the rice-derived umami flavors in our sake.
