Origin of Azumamine

Our brewery originated from ‘Gonbei Sake Brewery’ established on Shiwa Village (present-day Shiwa Town) by Murai Gonbei. He was an Omi merchant and the first person to make Kamigata style ‘clear sake’ in the Nanbu domain .
‘Gonbei Sake Brewery’ is the oldest sake brewery in Iwate prefecture, and was the birthplace of Nanbu Toji, the largest group of Toji in Japan. The Toji name refers to the master brewer.

Azumamine is a family brewery company where the elder brother is the brewer and the younger brother is the Toji (Toji is a brewer). Probably our company is one of the smallest breweries in Iwate Prefecture, producing 30,000 bottles per year, the maximum amount. 30,000 bottles are entrusted to only those dealerships who can passionately convey Azumamine’s passion, not to wholesalers.

Sake and sake brewing with an Iwate’s essence.

Our signature brand ‘Azumamine’ was named after Azumane Mountain. We hope our brewery will continue to invite to enjoy our sake for a long time to come. As the Azumane Mt., the highest in the village, is located behind our brewery and can always be enjoyed.

Many things have changed over our 350-year history, but our passion for brewing sake with all our hearts has not changed one bit.
