dewazakura

The Dewazakura Sake Brewery was established in 1892. It is located on the northern part of Japan, Tohoku region, Yamagata Prefecture.

Dewazakura has been brewing sake using the advanced traditional skills of their experienced brewery workers. In the fermentation process, they use tanks that small enough to handle manually. This makes precision temperature control possible, which in turn allows us to brew high-quality sake in small quantities. Dewazakura has been committed to process and quality for the brewery.

A Pioneer in Marketing Ginjo Sake

Dewazakura began to market “Ginjo Sake”, named Oka Ginjo, in 1980, the first attempt of its kind for sake breweries. We wanted everyone to enjoy Ginjo so we decided to sell Ginjo for an affordable price for the public. Oka Ginjo was well received, triggering the so-called “Ginjo boom.”

*Ginjo is premium grade classification of sake with a rice polish ratio of 60% or less; usually light and fragrant.
