Water and rice are the life forces of sake. The artistry of our skilled brewers completes our exquisite sake.
We begin with the pristine waters that flow from Mt. Iwaki, also known as the Mt. Fuji of Tsugaru, and carefully select the finest domestically grown rice,
mainly from within Aomori prefecture.
With these basic ingredients, our brewers' work begins.
Sparing no effort, they are stubbornly committed to making our sake by hand,
pouring their hearts into its painstaking cultivation and infusing it with their soul.
With gratitude for the natural gifts Aomori has gently nurtured, faithfully following the teachings of those before us, we continue to brew our sake
with a flavor unchanged for generations and a simple, pure essence.
Even in this age of constant change, we are committed to this approach like an unflagging guidepost.
We hope our sake, a Tsugaru specialty, will bring pleasure throughout Japan and the world.

Rokkon
In the Heart Sutra, the legendary Buddhist monk Xuanzang describes gokon,
which are the five aspects (or senses) of human experience.
Fully utilizing these five senses requires inspiration of the heart - the sixth sense.
It is written that only with rokkon (six senses) are we truly able to know reality
as well as recognize and appreciate authenticity.
An expressive sake prepared with heart and soul that you can truly feel.
This sake was given the name Rokkon.
