Suehiro Shuzo Co.,Ltd

In the late Edo period (Kaei 3), Kanehiro, second son of the Shinjo family who served as official sake brewers to the Aizu domain, became independent from the head family and started brewing sake as the first-generation Inokichi.

Following the death of the first-generation Inokichi, Endo Kanetane, who married into the family as the eldest daughter's husband, became the second-generation head.

After the Kaei-gura brewery was destroyed by fire during the Boshin War, sake production was somehow resumed.

A new storehouse (now the Kyo cafe) was completed; it remains the oldest surviving building on the site.

A major fire destroyed most of the brewery's storehouses.

The family business was consolidated into sake brewing and incorporated as Suehiro Sake Brewery Co., Ltd.

The Hakase-gura brewery was completed in what is now Aizumisato, drawing on spring water from Mt. Hakase, and the main brewing function moved there; the same year exports to the United States and Europe began.

The Kaei-gura storehouse was designated a National Registered Tangible Cultural Property.
