High-quality sake brewed in the nature-rich mountains of Gifu
Founded in 1818 (Bunsei 1) in the late Edo period. The fifth-generation head of the family, Nagase Kouemon, who was a village headman, started the sake brewing business using the abundant rice and spring water from the naturally rich mountains. Located in a small town surrounded by mountains, the brewery is run by a family, and they stick to small-scale production, brewing high-quality sake by hand with care and attention to every bottle. The resulting sake is brewed slowly at low temperatures to bring out the flavor of the rice, resulting in a smooth, clean-tasting sake.
