Our sake was born nearly one-hundred years ago, in 1918. The founder and landowner, Jiro Iwasaki bore the sake that was far superior to the local plain rice. It has been said that Iwasaki approached sake-making in a playful manner. Sake-making can become very rigorous and at times, unenjoyable. But we strive to keep Iwasaki’s values alive by keeping our playful and enjoyable spirits while making sake. To remain true to our founder, we continue to make our sake seriously, passionately, and diligently. We believe that our brewery’s values are transmitted into the taste and quality of our sake.

We Make Our Sake As a Family.
Our family owned and operated brewing company has remained small and intimate since its beginning, 100 years ago. By keeping our company small, we are able to personally check every step and every bottle and pay attention to every detail. We take pride in our creation which has been passed down from generation to generation in the family. In 2018,another transition will occur as the parent steps down and the next generation son will take over the brewery. This sake is our family treasure, and we hope to continue sharing the taste and trade for many more generations to come.
