The brewery was first founded in 1886 and saw some hard times when it was submerged in a great flood in 1973. Fortunately they were able to get back on their feet in their current location in Okayama Prefecture. The brewery gets its name from a gorgeous white chrysanthemum that blooms across Japan in autumn. The sake they brew uses the mineral-rich water of the Takahashi River. Using the best ingredients is essential, but they also recognize the necessity for top-notch skill to produce sake that’s truly worth tasting, so they are constantly honing their skills.
