[The Fire of Sake Brewing that Lights Up the Land of Development] The Melody of Tradition and Innovation Woven by 'Sasakawa Sake Brewery'

'Sasakawa Sake Brewery' has continued to mark time for over 250 years since its establishment in 1765, alongside the history of Aizaka. Located in Koriyama, one of the top sake-producing regions in Tohoku, it not only preserves the tradition of Japanese sake but also has a remarkably rare and dramatic history as one of the first to embark on whiskey production after the war.

■ The Soul of 'Aizaka' Passed Down Through the Ages

The passion of the pioneers who brought water from Lake Inawashiro to the once barren Aizaka Highlands, resulting in bountiful harvests. This pioneering spirit still breathes life into sake brewing today. The whiskey bearing the name 'Aizaka,' a representative work, takes advantage of the climate of Koriyama, with its extreme temperature differences, waiting for the time to mature. It is truly a process of capturing the very essence of this land in a bottle.
