From the brewery
最古の酒米とされる「雄町」、その歴史は1859年に岡山県で始まったとされています。優れた特性をもつ為、各地で新品種開発の交配種として使用され、「山田錦」「出羽燦々」など多くの酒米に血統が流れています。米の栽培、酒の仕込みは共に困難を極めますが、できあがる酒は独特の優しい味わいに満ちています。Original text from the brewery, in Japanese.

Dewazakura Sake Brewery Co., Ltd.
Yamagata
Shogi pieces, Ide Yunosato and Maizuruyama of Tendo are covered with cherry blossoms in full bloom in the spring. Dewa Sakura, founded in Meiji 25, was named by the first generation Seijiro Nakano after his longing for this spring.
This Dewa Sakura is blessed with the warm humanity, rice, water, and rich nature, with overwhelming local support backed by high quality, local -oriented and appropriate prices, and from all over the country. It has been until I drink love. For many years, we have been making Ginjo sake and have been evaluated as "Ginjo Sake Pioneer". In addition, it has been shipped worldwide, with more than 60 cities in 30 countries and many people overseas.
"I want you to know the goodness of sake." With this feeling, we will continue to brew it by hand.
