Ikeura Shuzo was founded in 1830 in Nagaoka City, Niigata, and has brewed through the late Edo period tradition of creating flavorful sake that does not tire the palate. The Warakugoson brand carries a name rooted in a philosophy of mutual respect and communal enjoyment, intended to evoke the warmth shared between people over sake. Located in a region celebrated for its sake rice and snowmelt water, the brewery continues to produce handcrafted Niigata-style sake under this label.
