From the brewery
Kuniki was born from the growing area, which flourished as a crannal place for herring fishing since the late Edo period. It was the founding that we started making sake for the Yang people working at the fishing grounds. Mashimashiri, which has long been blessed with good quality water, is known as a place where Kita -mae ships prefer to replenish drinking water. "Kuniki" is a sake that has been raised by the rich nature and the products of the Sannai products. Ishizo and stores in the Meiji and Taisho era, which are caught in the historic cityscape, are nostalgic and calm. We will continue to make sake with our heart so that many people can be patronized as a hairy local sake. Please drop in.

Story & Media
History
1875
Founder Honma Taizo moved to Mashike and started a dry-goods and kimono business.
1882
Taizo filed a sake brewing license application with the Mashike district office, marking the company's founding; the business was named 'Maruichi Honma.'
1902
A new brewery building using local soft stone was constructed at the current site, and the business became a registered partnership company, Maruichi Homma Gomeikaisha (sake brewing division).
1920
The flagship sake was renamed 'Kunimare,' taking a character from the name of Army General Nogi Maresuke, and became the brand's standard product name.
2001
One hundred years after the partnership company was established, the business was renamed Kunimare Sake Brewery Co., Ltd.
