In the long history of Sake brewing, “Yamahai Brewing” has been brewed without a break. This is a traditional method where the lactic acid bacteria that live in the brewery wait for more than a month for the bacteria to naturally enter the Sake mother tank. It is a Sake that stands out for its complex umami and acidity unique to the Sake brewing process. It goes well with nabe (hot pot) dishes and other strongly seasoned dishes.

Kamenoi Brewery

Established 1716

Established in the Kyoho era (1716-1735) of the Edo period. For more than 300 years, the brewery has continued to make Sake in the cold during the harsh winter months, when temperatures can drop as low as below zero℃ (32℉) in Kusu-cho of northwestern Oita Prefecture. Sake is brewed in bitterly cold climate with clear underground water from the Kokonoe Mountain Range, and Sake rice is made from selected rice suitable for Sake brewing, grown with great care by local contract farmers. We strive to provide our customers with high quality Sake with umami flavor through careful handcrafting. We continue to use the traditional “Yamahai brewing method,” which is rarely seen in Oita Prefecture now, and our customers enjoy the rich, pure taste and acidic flavor of our Sake. Super premium Sake Genki (Daiginjyo) of Kamenoi brewery is featured on JR Kyushu's Seven Stars train cruise.
