Brewing of thoroughly pursuing high-quality sake, which continues since 1826.

Our sake brewery provides high-quality sake of historic relics, which is proud of about 180 years of history. Our historic brewery is nestled on a mountainside amongst rich green forests on the eastern part of Shimane Prefecture. This sake brewery is located in Hirose-cho where the Amago-clan was reigning over the Sanin district. There, the clan established a castle where the feudal lord of Amago resided in the Age of Civil Wars. "GASSAN", our premium sake brand takes its name from the mountain in this area. Our time-honored tradition of sake brewing was established by special permission from the feudal lord of the House of Hirose. We have proudly maintained this tradition, handing down brewing secrets from generation to generation for over 180 years.

Brewed with fine and super soft water, which the lord of the House of Hirose used in their tea ceremonies at the end of Edo period.

Tradition is only part of the secret of our success; we also pay particular attention to the quality of our ingredients. Perhaps what makes our sake so special is the fine and super soft water, which the lord of the House of Hirose used in their tea ceremonies at the end of Edo period. Our water is recognized as one of the best 100 waters in Shimane It was also known as one of the highest quality water in the "Fumai-style tea ceremony". Furthermore, as water varies according to climate conditions, we specially blend in other water sources to precisely control water hardness to maintain our exacting brewing requirements.

A repeated gold award at National New-brewed sake contest has been given to our brewery.

Our toji (head brewer) belongs to the Izumo sake-brewing group, which is known as the one of the best sake brewing groups in Japan, and repeats efforts to provide good quality sake always. As a result, our sake is extremely pleasant, soft, and refreshing with a faint bitter tone that forms the backbone of the delicate aspects of flavor. This makes it very easy and smooth to drink. Our constant pursuit of perfection has led to success at a national level. Our sake has received the gold award over ten times at the "Zenkoku Shinsyu Kanpyou Kai" (National New-Brewed Sake Contest), the foremost and authoritative contest in the Sake industry.

But the pleasure of our sake can only be fully appreciated when you try the superb taste of Gassan Sake. Try it.
