HOME > Our Achivement > To inherit tradition

We want to produce a clean and beautiful sake.

南部美人

 

Our company was founded in 1902, “Nanbu Bijin” was named after, based on our wishes and concepts.

Our wishes was to produce a Japanese sake with clean and beauty flavor by Mr.Tadashi Ito, who was the director of the Tax Office in Ninohe city, and Mr.Hideo Kuji, our ex-president, because there were so many row quality sake with rice-polishing rate sake and with off-flavor.

We named our sake as Nanbu Bijin.

The word, Nanbu means the region, and Bijin means beautiful woman.

Our concepts was to brew sake with water, blessed with lush and beautiful natural reserves in Nanbu region.

 

 

Handing over the techniques and pursuing an authentic quality.

Mr. Jyunji Matsumori, Nanbu Toji, he is in charge of Nanbu Bijin as head of Master Brewer.

He, together with the 5th president, Mr. Kosuke Kuji, makes sake with view for visiting old, learning new in mind.
