Mureduru Brewery

Mureduru Brewery

Established 1904

In the Edo period, Mureduru Sake Brewery was the official domain-warrant brewery of the former Oka Clan. Our Shochu distillery was commercially established in 1904. The location is based in Oita Bungo-Ono Geopark and Sobo, Katamuki and Okue Biosphere Reserve. This is an area where unadulterated nature and abundant culture coexist. The distillery is situated in the valley between Mount Sobo, Mount Kuju, and Mount Aso. The valley holds resources of plentiful spring water that is used to make our Shochu. The soft water leads a subtle and mild flavor to the finished product. Mureduru Brewery has supplied liquor to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department every year for over 100 years.
