Sugihara Shuzo in Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture was founded in 1892 and is recognized as one of Japan's smallest sake breweries, producing fewer than 100 koku annually and selling Chiyonohana exclusively at the brewery by advance reservation. The brand shares the same rice and yeast used for the brewery's better-known Ibi label, offering a rare window into a micro-scale, deeply local sake tradition.
