Our firm was founded in 1882. We manufacture and sale sake, wine and liqueurs."There is a famous pine tree in Ohmi, where ripples spread ever farther to the fore on Lake Biwa."When you put your heart into making sake that people will delight in, then the world will come to know about it, with the news passing from one person to another just like a ripple spreads across a lake.This is a poem that Zenjiro Asahara recited with such an idea in mind. Born among rice paddies near Lake Biwa, Zenjiro Asahara started to work at a Japanese sake brewery in Ome, Tokyo, when he was nine years old. At the age of 29, he came to open his own business at the current site in Moroyama Town, Saitama."The Sake made in sleepless nights sells itself even as you sleep."This saying belongs to an earlier generation, and the current company president is already the fifth.But this inspired view of the founding generetion continues to resonate with us until the present day.As they put their heart into making our sake,our employees often imagine how it conjures up a smile on people's faces as they drink it.
