明治40年、秋田県鳥海山の麓、由利本荘市矢島町に初代佐藤久吉氏が創業した蔵元。雪深く清浄な気候風土であるこの地は、酒造りの好適地として知られています。そのまろやかな味わいと芳醇な香りから、地元矢島町で愛され続ける銘酒です。


The brewery was founded in 1907 by Hisakichi Sato I in Yajima-cho, Yurihonjo City, Akita Prefecture, at the foot of Mount Chokai. The area, with its deep snow and clean climate, is known as an ideal place for sake brewing.
Its mild taste and mellow aroma have made it a well-known sake loved by the local people of Yajima-machi.

秋田らしいきめ細やかな酒のイメージを現在に伝えています。鳥海山麓の豊かな水と米、自然環境、伝統の技術がそれを支えています。 地元素材を使用し、酒造りに欠かせない酵母も秋田県で開発されたものや蔵独自のものを使用するなど、出来る限り手造りで酒を製造しています。 古くから使用している酒造りの道具が現在も残り、創業当時からの伝統を感じられる蔵です。


It carries the image of fine sake typical of Akita to the present day.
The rich water and rice at the foot of Mt. Chokai, the natural environment, and traditional techniques support this.
Sake is made by hand as much as possible, using local ingredients and the brewery's own yeast, which is indispensable for sake brewing, as well as yeast developed in Akita Prefecture.
The brewery still retains the tools used for sake brewing from long ago, and one can feel the traditions that have been in place since the brewery's founding.
