蔵元紹介SAKE BREWER
Kitaoka Main Store
The brewery is located in Yoshino, a famous cherry blossom spot known as "a thousand trees at a glance," at the entrance to Yoshino-Kumano National Park in southern Nara Prefecture. Yoshino was home to the Yoshino Imperial Villa from the Asuka to Nara periods, and famous poems on the subject of this place are included in the Manyoshu. Going further in time, it is a place filled with nature, history and culture, with the likes of Minamoto no Yoshitsune's journey east, Emperor Godaigo's Southern Court, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's cherry blossom viewing. Kitaoka Honten aims to "continue Japan's traditional sake brewing techniques and contribute to building heartwarming relationships through delicious sake." We are committed to brewing sake with this goal in mind.
