Shirakamiromannoutage is produced by Marutake Sake Brewery in Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture, a brewery founded in 1686 at the foot of the Shirakami Mountains, one of Japan's UNESCO World Natural Heritage sites. The brewery's main brand is Kikumori, while Shirakamiromannoutage represents a pure rice ginjo expression crafted with locally grown Hanafubuki rice and the pure mountain water of the Shirakami range. The brewing philosophy centers on sake suited to heated serving, a tradition the brewery holds as the true expression of the rice's depth.
