We are committed in brewing sake that makes people smile, bringing happiness to everyone, rice farmers and customers alike. Today, our company is extending market coverage to Europe and the U.S.A. While we respect the history of Japanese sake, our sake brewery is also eager to tackle new challenges as the times change.

While our company embraces good old traditions, we have always tried to stay ahead of the times in order to fulfill new customer needs, for over a hundred years since establishment. As a comprehensive manufacturer of alcoholic beverages, our company serves society through our products including sake, shochu, mirin, wine, and whisky.

Our micro sake brewery was established in 1848, and our annual sake production amounts to only 200 koku (1 koku = 278.3 liters) a year. Akashi is a city that prospers from fishery, and perhaps because our brewery sits on the shores of the Seto Inland Sea, our sake brand "RAIRAKU" pairs perfectly with seafood.

Our sake brewery was established around 1761, which was during the reign of Tokugawa Yoshimune, the eighth Shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Our current successor is the ninth generation Nishiumi Tahee.

We are dedicated to brewing aromatic and flavorful sake by utilizing our location of being in a basin where winters are frigid, and a city that produces the largest volume of Yamada Nishiki, the king of sake-brewing rice. Our amber-tinted, smooth yet full-bodied Daigin Koshu was awarded the bronze prize for two consecutive years in the most influential wine competition in the world called the International Wine Challenge (IWC). We are also a member of the Association for Long Term Aged Sake.
