About Brewer
Located in the town of Hasami – renowned for its local style of pottery – in the Higashisonogi District, northern Nagasaki Prefecture, this brewery is situated in a basin ringed by 400-meter-high mountains – the tallest being Mt. Unzen – which makes it suitable for brewing sake. Having been steadily expanded since the later part of the Edo period, the brewery premises now consists of more than ten distinct buildings, six of which have been registered as tangible cultural assets. Demonstrating a talent for high quality and consistency have seen them rewarded with first place in the regional Liquor Review Committee – which combines Fukuoka, Saga, and Nagasaki Prefectures – as well as an astonishing ten consecutive wins at the rigorous Sake Competition, multiple golds in each year of the U.S. National Sake Appraisal, and many more. The critics and populace are certainly united in praise.
Origin of Brand
With its name a reference to the sixty distinct and contested states that once spread across the islands of Japan, Rokuju-Yoshu promotes a hope that all people in the world will be united in the enjoyment of its drinking, just as the ‘Whole Nation of Japan’ was able to overcome such division all those centuries ago.
